[1967] John Martyn - Rolling Home

listen to the song:


The British singer and songwriter John Martyn, was at the top of his creativity in 1967, when he released his first album called "London Conversation". Bilbo had following to say on this: "His voice is similar to Davy Graham's, and the style John Martyn plays on his debut is the folk twined with blues that many British singers put out in the mid to late 1960's. All of the songs are wonderful, a surprising guitar leads and picks from start to finish."

[1967] The Animated Egg - Sock It My Way

listen to the song:

The Burbank, California-based Alshire label was best known for it's cheapo international music (eg. The Sounds Of Spain, The Tijuana Sound, Hawaiian Paradise) and 101 String MOR collections. In pursuit of profit rather than content, 1967 saw the label shell out some cash to have anonymous studio musicians write and record a series of psych-oriented instrumentals. Slapping a pseudo-trippy cover on the results (ignore the dazed long haired teens pictured on the cover since they certainly had nothing to do with the set), the cleverly titled The Animated Egg proved surprising accomplished. With little at stake, the anonymous band (no performing or writing credits are provided), roared through an all-instrumental set; material such as A Love Built On Sand, I Said, She Said, Ah Cid and Sock It My Way are heavy on fuzz, feedback and swirling organ. Elsewhere, Sippin' An Trippin' offered up a nifty slice of Byrds-styled jangle rock, while Tomorrow was a blatant rip off of The Spencer Davis Group's Gimme Some Lovin'. (~Fuzz, Acid & Flowers)

[196X] Eighth Penny Matter - Rain

listen to the song:


Well, all we know about this band is, that it was placed somewhere in colorado (according to the Psychedelic States Series). Gentle glockenspiel and chary guitar, chorus and everything else stereotype we need for a chilled psychedelic Folk-Rock track. Enjoy!

[1967] Dantalian's Chariot - The Madman Running Through The Fields

listen to the song:

UK Psych-Pop/Rock-Sike from an band that only released an 7" and splitted after 1 year. Band member Andy Summer later joined "The Police", "Soft Machine" and many others... Drummer Colin Allen went to play with John Mayall. And singer Zoot Moneywould also joined Eric Burdon's Animals.

[1967] The Freak Scene - My Rainbow Life

listen to the song:


Lysergic Guitars melting in your brain, causing visions of clear light...

Psychedelic Freakout 1966/67 [Sound: The Ricketts - Action Painting]

.

[1967] Fapardokly - Gone To Pot No Retreat

listen to the song:


It's 1967 again and "Fapardokly" is actually the album title, but the producer forgot to put Merrell & The Exiles on the cover as the band name! I know it's confusing. The LP is actually a compilation of Merrell Fankhauser & The Exiles tunes written & recorded from 1964-1967.
This song is like the never ending ecstasy from "8 Miles High" followed by some wah-ing psyh-pop to fade out at least.

[1967] The Peanut Butter Conspiracy - Light Bulb Blues

listen to the song:


It's 1967 and the Peanut Butter Conspiracy hit the peak of psychedelic music before they fall into a melting pot of annoying pop. this track is also taken from the "Spreading from the Ashes" compilation that feat. a lot of nice archival material by the PBC. Enjoy!

[1967] Superfine Dandelion - The Other Sidewalk

listen to the song:


some psychotic Psychedelic Rock from the "Psychedelic Moods Vol. 2". Here are some infos on the band by Psych-Spaniolos:
"This outfit was based in Phoenix, Arizona between 1966-68 and were earlier known as The Mile Ends. Their first 45 contains the fine psychedelic punk of The Other Sidewalk, and the flip features sitars and has a mellow trippy feel, with the vocalist wishing that he'd never come down... After such an interesting start, they went on to chart regionally with their People In The Street 45, but their album had a strong country influence and is largely dispensable. Most of the band later went on to greater things - Black and McFadden joined Goose Creek Symphony and later worked for Linda Ronstadt. Anderson later joined Beans who evolved into The Tubes."

[1967] The Velvet Illusions - Acid Head

listen to the song:


The Velvet Illusions from Los Angeles released this song on one of their 1967 singles. The B-Side was "She Was The Only Girl". Sadly the band existed only two years (1966-68). Enjoy this Garage-Psych track!

[1967] The Painted Faces - Anxious Colour

listen to the song:


One of the classic psych singles to come out of Florida was 'Anxious Color' by The Painted Faces. They were short lived but left behind some fine singles. Their first 45 was released locally on Qualicon. This coupled the moody folk rock lament 'Things We See' with 'I Want You'... The former turning up again as the flip to the Manhattan release.

'Anxious Color' is where it's at though with raga sounding guitar leads giving the song a psychedelic sound. According to the liners of the Distortion compilation this 45 was a big hit in South West Florida, hitting number 1 on some stations. It even got extensive airplay on Los Angeles stations making the Top 10. This was probably due to their Mike Curb connections. (~ Flower Bomb Songs)

[1967] Velvet Underground - Venus In Furs

listen to the song:


Named paranoid, schizophrenic, insane, ... escaped from the world, born in visions. The violin and the folky percussion float you into universe....

[1967] Teddy & His Patches - Suzy Creamcheese

listen to the song:


Wild psychedelic, paranoid, garage-fuzz. Released on one of their 1967 Singles "Suzy Creamcheese / From Day to Day". Watch out for an other song by the band -> "Haight-Ashbury"

[1967] The Peanut Butter Conspiracy - Flight Of The Psychedelic Bumble Bee

listen to the song:


The Byrds mixed up with the Mamas & Papas and Jefferson Airplane, ready is the Peanut Butter Conspiracy. This song makes the sound liquid and the colors shiny. Pay attention to the lyrics ;).

[1967] Stoics - Enough Of What I Need

listen to the song:


The track is awaiting you in really nice quality, not like all the vinyl rips, that are circulating here araound, ... I mean, they are better than nothing, but with this title as example, you know, what I mean ;)... the guitar riffs are giving a lot of rythm, the voice, surrounds it and the backchor for the refrain still makes it more psychedelic: the floating feeling. Some of their tracks can be found on the Mindrocker, the Acid Visions and the Teenage Shutdown Vol. 10. On the bands lifetime, they only released on single "Enough of What I Need / Hate". William Ash (guitar) later went to The Argyles and The Children (1968, Rebirth), where members from the 13th Floor Elevators played after they disbanded in 1968. The Golden Dawn was also a band, where the Rubayyat sourced their members from.

[1967] Bill Plummer & Cosmic Brotherhood - Journey to the East

listen to the song:


The cover doesn't look like what is inside! Flying trough the desert, a sitar on your fold, riding in coloured clouds of acid fog. One of the finest Psych Folk I ever heared! you can download the complete album on Dr. Schluss' Garage Of Psychedelic Obscurities. Enjoy! greetings, amadeus :)

[1967] Kim Fowley - Reincarnation

listen to the song:


well, the cover is an imagination of love, peace, incense and pot. The soft psychedelic sound of the album really fits in. this song is the best one from this (his first) LP and a bit different from the rest, lets say, more garage-psych like. the rest of the album has nice playing on the instrument but very poor vocal quality. also the mixing could had done better than it is. Maybe a remastered Re-Issue from the original reels could fix that so I would rate the album with 4/5, not with 3/5 stars.

[1967] David Hemmings - Good King James

listen to the song:


Sitar, guitar and great singing. This is also a very mystical song, with acid lyrics, let me think a bit of the Incredible String Band. If you like this song, you also may like the other song by David, I upped on the Psychedeli-Jukebox: [1967] David Hemmings - Anathea. Enjoy! and let the colors take you to dreamy places. greetings, amadeus :)

[1967] Perpetual Motion Workshop - Infiltrate Your Mind / Won't Come Down [Single]

listen to the second song "Won't Come Down":


The Perpetual Motion Workshop is a band from Los Angeles, CA. 1967 They released their only Single "Infiltrate Your Mind / Won't Come Down" under Rally Records (Rally 66506). Both songs are filled with fuzz and have a touch of garage rock and a bit pschedelic. Here you can download the complete single @320. Enjoy! greetings, amadeus :)

[1967] Phluph - Another Day

listen to the song:


This song sounds like Jefferson Airplane or Peanut Butter Conspiracy mixed with some underground psychedelia and very early Pink Floyd. They released an self-titeld album in 1968 (Verve 5054). Saidly I don't have it, but I added it on my wishlist and may post it when I found it :). "Another Day" is the A-side of the single; Verve VK10564 and got released in 1967. Enjoy! greetings, amadeus :)
