1967's REALIZATION is entirely unlike anything which came before or after in Johnny Rivers' career. Aware of the changes occurring on Sunset Strip, where he'd had a residency at the famed Whiskey A-Go-Go since 1964, Rivers refurbished his sound, curtailing the blue-eyed soul in favor of a gently psychedelic blend of sunshine-pop harmonies, trippy guitar, and low-budget studio effects. In the process he created a faux-psychedelia album that's among the most interesting sonic artifacts of its time, up there with Sonny Bono's equally inauthentic INNER VIEWS.
The choice of material is intriguing, including a rave-up version of the garage punk classic "Hey Joe" and an unusually rocking "Whiter Shade of Pale." Rivers would continue his psychedelic soul career at a remove by signing sunshine-pop supergroup the Fifth Dimension to his Soul City label, but REALIZATION is a remarkable one-off in Rivers' otherwise stylistically consistent career.
