American Revolution - Same (Flick-disc US 68) M-/M- 15
Underrated orchestrated pop-psych LP exploring similar terrain to The Millenium, Left Banke etc. Small deletion punch hole in sleeve.
Opus #1
Dirty Blues Band - Same (Stateside UK 68) EX/EX 25
The trippy sleeve combined with band name perfectly reflect the searing heavy psych blues contained in the grooves. This band contained psych guitar god and pre-Misunderstood man Glenn 'Fernando' Campbell.
Honey Cone - Same (Hot Wax UK 69) M-/M- 25
Lovely laminated flipback UK copy of funky soul classic.
Sunday Morning People
Jay Jays - Same (Philips NL 66) MONO EX/M- 125 RESERVED!
Stunning copy of one of the (un)holy trinity of Dutch freakbeat LPs. Unlike the Outsiders 1st and Q65's Revolution though, this sold very badly at the time making it about 50 times rarer than either of those. Very 'The Who' influenced sounds with angular mod pounders like "Come back if you dare", "Shake it some more" and "Got love if you want it" to the fuzz overdriven "I keep tryin'" and the truly demented fuzz/feedack ravaged "The cruncher". A brilliant LP! Sleeve has perfect front lamination with just some minor age wear and a bit of writing on the unlaminated rear. Record near perfect, with just a name written on the label. This copy comes with some nice contemporary advertising leaflets for radiograms and a Dutch radio station in California.
The Cruncher!
I Keep Tryin'
Today I'm gay
Peter Kelly - Path of the wave (London UK 69) MONO EX/EX 40
Very scarce UK original and a mono copy too. Acid damaged doomer folk that rocks out on occasion, particularly on the the killer fuzz/organ dominated "The man is dead".
The Man is Dead
Love Machine - Electronic music to blow your mind by (Design US 68) VG+/VG+ 25 RESERVED!
Totally over the top exploito psych LP, featuring groovy instrumentals with all sorts of crazed studio effects plastered on.
Bells for Eternal Zoom
George Martin - British Maid (UA UK 68) EX/EX 20
Groovy LP of the 5th Beatle's take on some of the psych hits of the day including "Hole in my shoe", "I am the Walrus", "Itchycoo Park" etc, along with a couple of self-penned tracks including his wonderous "Theme One".
Theme One
Cecil McCartney - Om (Columbia UK 68) EX/EX 50
From his oil slide light show bathed face on the front cover, to his Age of Aquarius sleeve notes, this is the perfect period piece time capsule of psychedelic London circa 1968. The music is folky pop with some psych and orchestral embellishments and includes his fab "Liquid Blue". This is the rare first blue/black Columbia label pressing.
Hey Alethia & Liquid Blue
Poppy Family - Which way you goin' Billy? (London US 69) M-/M- 15
Beautifully produced lightly funky psychy pop LP with sitars, tablas, effects etc. Nice US original with sleeve still in shrink. Listen to some tracks...
Free From the City
No Blood In Bone
Beyond the clouds
Happy island
Sheridan/ Price - This is to certify that... (Gemini UK 70) EX/EX 75
Some great psych and pop sounds on this pretty scarce and underrated LP. Nice copy too. Unfortunately only one track on Youtube...
Lamp Lighter Man
Various - San Francisco International Pop Festival (Colstar US 68) VG/EX 75
Mega rare private comp of studio recordings issued to celebrate the event. Bands include Sweet Smoke, Charlotte Wood, New Life, Fire, Poppies, Haight Ashbury Blue Band, ex-pat Aussie Ray Columbus and The Royal Scottish Bagpipe Co. A surprising consistent comp with lots of great psych on it and no reissue in sight. Sleeve is a beautiful silver die cut gatefold with a nice colourful swirly inside. Unfortunately, it is a little tatty with some wear and splitting of edges.
Yellow Payges - Same (Uni US 69) EX/M- 25
Some blistering wah wah n fuzz driven funky psych rockers on here like "Two of Us", "Little Woman", "Crowd Pleaser" and "Devil Woman". Small deletion hole in corner.
Two of Us
