Bubble Puppy - A Gathering Of Promises

Bubble Puppy — A Gathering Of Promises

140-gram vinyl 

Printed inner sleeve

Includes the hit "Hot Smoke & Sassafras"

Straight out of Texas and wired into the DNA of American psychedelia, Bubble Puppy's 1969 debut A Gathering of Promises is back — remastered, restored, and ready to roar again.

Reissued by Charly Records, this definitive edition by the psychedelic rock band features restored audio — all fuzz, fire, and soaring harmonies intact — cut from the original analog tapes, original artwork, and bonus tracks.

Featured is the hit "Hot Smoke & Sassafras." A Hendrix-charged rocket, the song blasted to No. 14 on the U.S. charts in early '69 and lit the fuse for what came next.

Bubble Puppy were the wild new breed of Texas rock: Long hair, loud amps, and sky-high hooks. Signed by International Artists Records, what came "next" was A Gathering of Promises — a debut album that fused garage grit, trippy textures, and powerhouse harmonies into something all its own. Brighter and more melodic than Easter Everywhere, yet tougher and leaner than anything coming out of the West Coast, it stands as a pure rush of late-'60s Texas energy — vivid, electric, and full of life.

With restored audio, original artwork, and immersive liner notes tracing the band's story, this is the definitive edition of one of the most electrifying albums ever to emerge from the Lone Star State's psychedelic frontier. More than 50 years on, A Gathering of Promises still sounds like the future.
