The Amboy Dukes (Mainstream) 1967
SIDE ONE
1. "Baby, Please Don't Go"
2. "I Feel Free"
3. "Young Love"
4. "Psalms of Aftermath"
5. "Colors"
SIDE TWO
6. "Let's Go Get Stoned"
7. "Down on Philips Escalator"
8. "The Lovely Lady"
9. "Night Time"
10. "It's Not True"
11. "Gimme Love"
The first recording for Ted "The Duck" Nugent at the
young age of 19. The Amboy Dukes debut was post-psychadelic garage rock with
some early proto-metal beginning to creep into the mix. The Duke's heavy cover of blues standard "Baby, Please Don't Go" is a perfect example of early proto-metal. This song would
make its way into the Nugent catalog again on the awesome "Double Live Gonzo".
The Amboy Dukes contains seven original compositions and four covers, including
a trippy cover of The Who's "It's
Not True".
Unfortunately this particular release is one of the rarer Amboy
Dukes releases. I'm not sure it's ever been officially released on CD. There
is a Japanese version of "The Amboy Dukes" with a different cover.
That album has been on my want list for nearly two decades.

12. I'll Prove I'm Right (1:38)
13. Conclusion (1:57)
Limited edition, red-vinyl reissue of the 1960's Amboy Dukes classic album. "Journey to the Center of the Mind," was The Amboy Dukes' sophomore release and was released in April 1968 on Mainstream Records (56112 mono (promo only) and stereo S/6112 stereo). The title track, the album cover and the concept for side two of the record are all based around drug use. The title track in itself is about tripping on acid. The album cover depicts different kinds of marijuana-smoking devices. Ted Nugent claims to this day that he didn't know that the album was promoting drug use. Ted has always been very outspoken about the evils of drug use.
The album crept into the Top 100 Charts with its highest position hitting #74. Side one was was a collection of songs that echo bands like Cream and The Yardbirds. Side two of the record is a concept/story. The entire side was meant to be played as one piece. However, the title track became the band's hit single and decades later is the song that most people know The Amboy Dukes from. Of course the Dukes was Ted Nugent's band, so it's his playing that offers this fan the most immediate appeal. Nothing on here is all that accomplished, as far as technique goes, though Ted does offer a bit more fire than most of the typical guitarists of the 60's, save for perhaps Jimi Hendrix. The guitar solo in "Flight of the Bird" certainly gives an indication of the Motor City Madman of the not too distant future. This LP contains a song that I have always held to as one of my favorite song titles "Why Is a Carrot More Orange Than a Orange".
Amboy Dukes - Marriage On The Rocks-Rock Bottom (Polydor) 1969
SIDE ONE
1. "Marriage"
...i. Part 1: Man
...ii. Part 2: Woman
...iii. Part 3: Music
2. "Breast-Fed Gator"
3. "Get Yer Guns"
4. "Non-Conformist Wildebeest Man"
5. "Today's Lesson"
SIDE TWO
6. "Children Of The Woods"
7. "Brain Games Of Yesteryear"
8. "The Inexhaustible Quest For The Cosmic Cabbage"
...i. Part One
...ii. Part Two
9. "Excerpt From Bartok: Second String Quartet, Beginning 2nd Movement"
"Marriage on the Rocks" was a transition record for the Amboy
Dukes. The initial pressings of this record simply had the band name at the
top with 'featuring Ted Nugent' added in small type to the left. Later pressing
replaced the Amboy Dukes name with Ted Nugent with the Amboy Dukes name in smaller
letters under Ted Nugent's name.
It was clear that Ted was becoming the alpha male in this band
and the style was turning from the experimental 60's rock to a harder rock formula.
However, "Marriage on the Rocks/Rock Bottom" isn't nearly as hard rockin' as
follow-up's like "Survival of the Fittest" or "Tooth Fang & Claw". The first
song is composed by Nugent, Marriage/Part 1: Man/Part 2: Woman/Part 3: Music.
This sounds more like Jethro Tull than anything you would expect from Ted. The song is an over nine minute long
epic number that combines equal parts progressive rock and blues. The remainder
of the material up to the bizzarly titled "The Inexhaustible Quest For The Cosmic
Cabbage" was also written by Ted. "Cosmic Cabbage" is the sole song written
by Andrew Solomon and certainly fits into the whole 1960's vibe. Can't say this
is a favorite song of mine, but the song does contain and interesting hodge-podge
of ideas. The music on this album was recorded by legendary producer Edwin H.
Kramer (Eddie Kramer) at Mira Sound in December of 1969. Eddie is, of course,
known for his work on the Woodstock recordings, with Jimi
Hendrix and later, KISS, Anthrax, Fastway and more.
I own two different pressings of this one on vinyl. The original
"Amboy Dukes featuring Ted Nugent" (Cat. # 24-4012) pressing comes with a 6"x10"
black and white lyric booklet. The repressed Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes"
is catalog #PD 1 073.

Several different LP versions of "Survival of the Fittest" exist. I'm told that the rarest is the version with the front cover letting in white. I had read that this was a rare test pressing. Rather, I've found out that some copies pressed in Germany have the white letting and also omits "And The Amboy Dukes" all together. The common version, pictured above, has the blue and red letting. I had my copy signed by Ted when I met him in Beaver Dam, WI in 2008. I also own a copy of the German pressing, also pictured above. See CD section for review and details.

Ted Nugent & the Amboy Dukes - Gigantes Del Pop (Polydor)
1981
SIDE ONE
1. "Survival of the Fittest" [instumental] (6:16)
2. "Rattle My Snake" (3:05)
3. "Mr. Jones' Hanging Party" (4:48)
4. "Papa's Will" (9:05)
SIDE TWO
5. "Slidin' On" (3:04)
6. "Prodigal Man" (21:11)
Part of the "Gigantes Del Pop" series released by Polydor in Spain that also featured bands like The Dave Clark Five, Cream, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Genesis, David Bowie and many others. As far I I know most of these releases were compilations of the band's earliest studio recordings. However, The Amboy Dukes "Gigantes Del Pop" is actually just a repackaging of their live album "Survival of the Fittest". Basically, a collector for the Nugent fanatic and nothing more.
Ted Nugent & the Amboy Dukes - Call of the Wild (Discreet) 1974
1. "Call of the
Wild" (4:46)

4. "It's Not True"
"Dr. Slingshot" is a compilation of early Amboy Dukes songs. One of
many compilations that Mainstream would release once the band left
the label following the release of "Migration". Oddly enough, this
compilation does not feature the hit "Journey to the Center of the
Mind" or the popular "Baby, Please Don't Go" off the band's debut. (Thanks Trog.) |

Ted Nugent's Amboy Dukes - Tooth Fang & Claw (Discreet) 1974 |
An interesting lot of promo records. These two promos were formerly
owned by Howard Kaylan of The Turtles. The records were sold through
Backstage Auctions and came with a certificate of authenticity signed by Howard.
I think the Certificate is probably worth as much as the reords. Pretty cool!
See above for the track listing of each. (Thanks Morgan)

There are two slightly different vinyl pressings of "Free-For-All". The initial
pressing on Epic Records had Ted Nugent printed in multiple different colors
in a thin font. Subsequent re-pressings have Ted Nugent printed all in gold
with a much bolder font. (see scans to the right) As well, the initial printing
had a picture sleeve and did not have a bar code on the back cover.
Ted Nugent and the Amboy
Dukes (Mainstream)
1976
SIDE ONE
1. "Good Natured Emma"
2. "For His Namesake"
3. "Scottish Tea"
4. "Gimme Love"
SIDE TWO
5. "Ivory Castles"
6. "Inside the Outside"
7. "Night Time"
8. "Colors"
By 1976, Nugent was a
household name, selling out concerts nationwide. As such, the Amboy Dukes
former record label took advantage of that time to release this collection
of old Amboy Dukes songs. For some stranger reason the label decided to not
give this compilation a title, which wouldn't be that big of a deal except
for the fact that it makes things confusing with the band's debut, which is
also self- titled. I always like the "Nugent/Medussa" cover art for this one,
even though it's oddly on a pink background. The overall compilation is decent,
but oddly enough doesn't have the band's biggest hit "Journey to the Center
of the Mind". Not that big of a deal for me, as I have never been one to concern
myself with hits and tend to get bored with them anyhow. I do think that this
platter is a bit short on songs. Mainstream could easily have added another
song on each side of this record. I don't believe that this particular compilation
was every officially re-released on CD. I also found it odd that this album
isn't really listed on any Amboy Dukes discographies on the internet.

3. "Great White Buffalo"
4. "Hey Baby"
SIDE TWO
5. "Hibernation" [instrumental]

Killer live bootleg. Sound quality is a little shakey, as this seems to be
an audience recording. Track number one was recorded at a different concert
with the Amboy Dukes. According to the liner notes, the song was recorded
at the Woodstock Music Festival. (Thanks a ton Morgan)

Incredible
collector's picture disc. "State of Shock" was released as a promo
disc only, and apparently was never officially for sale to the public. See CD
section for review and details. (Thanks again Morgan)
Ted Nugent - Shock
Waves (Epic) 1979
SIDE A
1. "I Want to Tell You"
SIDE B
2. "Paralyzed"
3. "Cat Scratch Fever"
7" collector's single
that was released to help promote "State of Shock" in 1979. Nothing
really new on it, but is a cool collector's single. Note the boots that Nugent
is wearing in this photo. My good friend and fellow Nugent fanatic Morgan
Nederhiser owns those boots now. I'll eventually post a photo of them on this
site.
Ted Nugent - I Want
to Tell You (Epic) 1979
SIDE A
1. "I Want to Tell You"
SIDE B
2. "I Want to Tell You"

10. "Tailgunner" (7:00)
This is one
of my favorite records in my Ted Nugent collection, not only because I enjoy
the music so much, but because Ted personally signed this one to me the second
time I met him. It's one of the few album covers I have had framed and hanging on my wall. And being the total geeky fanboy, I also picked up a Japanese promo with OBI and inserts and an American radio promo copy, both at a record show.
See CD section for review and details.
Ted Nugent - Bound and Gagged (Atlantic) 1982
SIDE ONE
1. "Bound and Gagged" [long version]
SIDE TWO
2. "Bound and Gagged" [short version]
Radio promo single for "Bound and Gagged" from "Nugent".
The picture cover lists "Habitual Offender" as the b-side, but the
single actually has the same song on both sides, although the b-side single
is a radio edit version. The label is the light blue Atlantic label, which
I believe was used for promotional singles only.
Ted Nugent - Bound and Gagged (Atlantic) 1982
SIDE ONE
1. Bound and Gagged
SIDE TWO
2. No, No, No
12" promotional single to promote the "Nugent" album. Comes in a standard white sleeve with a Ted Nugent logo printed onto it. A nice collector's item for the Nugent fanatic. (Thanks Bill)
Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes (Mainstream) 1982
SIDE ONE
1. "Good Natured Emma"
2. "For His Namesake"
3. "Scottish Tea"
4. "Gimme Love"
SIDE TWO
5. "Ivory Castles"
6. "Inside the Outside"
7. "Night Time"
8. "Colors"
One of the many Amboy Dukes collections that came out during the 70's and
80's when Ted was at the top of his game. This one has the exact same track
listing as the Medussa cover from 1976 (see
above). Genius in marketing and packaging here. Mainstream Records obviously
aware of Nugent's popularity used a photo from the late 70's and made Ted's
name look similar to the logo seen on his popular albums. Of course the unaware
would be expecting "Cat Scratch Fever" and "Free For All"
when in fact they were getting some of Teddy's 60's material. (Thanks Trog!)
Ted Nugent - Penetrator (Atlantic) 1984
SIDE ONE
1. "Tied up in Love" (4:24)

7. "No Man's Land" (3:24)
8. "Blame It on the Night" (4:11)
9. "Lean Mean R&R Machine" (4:00)
10. "Take Me Home" (5:04)
See CD
section for review and details.
Ted Nugent - On Tour With Ted Nugent Gonzo Guitarist (BB 634)
Recorded live in Nashville, TN, 4/20/84
SIDE ONE
1. "Blame It On the Night"
2. "(Where Do You) Draw the Line"
3. "Tied Up In Love"
SIDE TWO
4. Medley:
...Cat Scratch Fever
...Wang Dang Sweet Poontang
...Hibernation
...Wango Tango
...Motor City Madhouse
5. "Dog Eat Dog"
This is a bootleg in the truest form. Everything about it screams "for hardcore fans only", from the cheesy, unmarked, white labels on the LP, to the incorrect track listing on the back cover, to the black and white cover, right down to the radio commercials still on this LP. Yes, you can hear commercials for Budweiser, Jensen audio and even The U.S. Army along with some live, prime, Uncle Teddy. The end of side two even includes the King Buscuit commercials announcing the live, on-the-air, concert. Good thing I am one of those hardcore fans. Recorded live on the King Biscuit Flower hour in Nashville, TN 1984 on the Penetrator tour. The sound quality is good, being that it was recorded directly from the radio. Unfortunately the entire show was not aired.
Ted Nugent - Little Miss Dangerous (Atlantic) 1986

9. "Angry Young Man" (3:54)
10. "Painkiller" (5:51)
Promotional copy of "Little Miss Dangerous" signed by Ted when I
met him in 2003. See CD
section for review and details.
Ted Nugent - High Heels in Motion (Atlantic) 1986
SIDE ONE
1. "High Heels In Motion"
SIDE TWO
2. "High Heels in Motion"
Radio promo single for "High Heels in Motion" from "Little
Miss Dangerous". The picture cover lists "Angry Young Man"
as the b-side, but the single actually has the same song on both sides. The
label is the light blue Atlantic label, which I believe was used for promotional
singles only.

Interesting vinyl collection.
First of all, there seems to be no ryhme or reason to the track listing. While
there are some great songs selected, it almost seems like the label threw a
bunch of songs from Nugent's Epic years into a hat and just pulled them out
and used this random selection as the order. Another interesting note about
this vinyl collection there are a couple of minor mistakes in the track listing.
"Motor City Madhouse" is listed as "Motor City Madness" and "Smokescreen" is
listed as two words, "Smoke Screen". Otherwise, I find this two record set to
be a good anthology of Nugent's solo years on Epic/CBS. I found it refreshing
to have songs like "Out of Control", "Turn it Up", "Hard As Nail","Smokescreen"
and "Where Have You Been All My Life" as well as the more popular songs like
"Cat Scratch Fever" and "Stranglehold". I was surprised to see "Paralyzed",
"Wang Dang Sweet Poontang" and "Free For All" left off, as these were certainly
a few of Nugent's more popular songs. The vinyl comes wrapped in a gatefold
cover featuring several large photos of 'ol sweaty Teddy. Apparently this collection
was only released in Europe on vinyl and cassette.

SIDE TWO
2. She Drives Me Crazy
12" radio single to promote the single "She Drives Me Crazy" from the "If You Can't Lick 'Em" album. Comes in a standard white sleeve with a standard Atlantic/Atco promo sticker onto it. A collector's item for the Nugent fanatic.
Motörhead - Overkill / Tie Your Mother Down (Cleopatra) 2007
SIDE A
1. Overkill (Exclusive Version)
SIDE B
2. Tie Your Mother Down (Lemmy & Ted
Nugent)
This is an odd vinyl collector's single that features a newly recorded
version of Motorhead's "Overkill" with the current line-up, as well
as the Queen cover that Lemmy
and Ted Nugent were a part
of for Bob Kulick. I have yet to figure out if this is an official release
or not. There are three different versions of this vinyl release available.
The editions are as follows: Blue vinyl: Limited to 500 copies, green
vinyl: Limited to 300 copies, and red vinyl: limited to 300 pieces.
All copies are hand numbered. I have the red version, number 003/300. |
