So then Lundborg in his book is wrong.....on this important point????

I’ll buy you sugar cube.
I’ll buy you a sugar cube,
If you just gimme some of your love, gal.
I don’t want to go for no trip.

Album release information is on Tidal and elsewhere.

One can’t help wondering if you can get acid flashbacks from contact highs? some info on The Fugs, “Their participation in the National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam's 1967 March on the Pentagon, at which they and others purportedly attempted to encircle and levitate the Pentagon, is chronicled in Norman Mailer's book The Armies of the Night. A recording of this event is featured on the Fugs' 1968 album, Tenderness Junction, entitled "Exorcising the Evil Spirits from the Pentagon Oct. 21, 1967". [14] Beforehand, Sanders and Kupferberg had prepared an elaborate exorcism ritual, and rented a flatbed truck along with a sound system. [3] As is heard on the album, the two gathered a large crowd in front of the Pentagon and repeatedly chanted, "Out, demons, out!" [3][14]” |
Playing on stage at LSD parties was, I can tell you, not easy. Those damned strobe lights made seeing the guitar & bass frets and Farfisa and Voxx organ keys hard to see. Might be why the San Francisco bands were so lame, Moby Grape the lone exception. When The Band played at Bill Graham venues, they asked him to skip the light show; that kind of thing had nothing to do with the music they played. My friend & bandmate and I were hitch hiking on San Carlos Blvd. in San Jose in ’66, and got picked up by a couple of guys who looked like they were from Berkeley (if you know what I mean). They were driving an old early-50’s sedan, had big frizzy hair and beards, and were a lot older than we. One of them pulled an LP out of a bag to show us; it was The Fugs 1st album. I don’t know if it’s psychedelic (I’ve still not heard it), but I’m sure it’s weird. |
Where you getting this 12/31/1965 date from?
Wot is "ABKCO"?
Lundborg's Acid Archives:
"
August, 1966 Rusty Evans & the DEEP record the "Psychedelic Moods" LP in Philadelphia"
The RELEASE date would have been later. Like I said ,Oct or Nov '66
......
Sammy has the origional 13th Floor Elevators lp on yellow/lime International Artists label. Of course, no date to be found anywhere.
|
I'll amend my comment. According to ABKCO, "The Deep" released, "Psychedelic Moods" 12/31/1965 and - presumably - therefore it's the first to use the word in the album title. However, the Elevators formed in 1965 and were playing the Austin scene before the first album release date. So, I guess it's a toss up...but I'll go for the 13th Floor myself on this one. At least they recorded more than one album!
|
The 13th Floor Elevators certainly played and recorded all their music on acid and their 1966 album had the word "Psychedelic" in its title. They were preforming in Austin well before the album was released. Not to be pedantic, but the word was coined by Humphrey Osmond in 1957, so the claim is credible. Many authorities on the subject (e.g., Patrick Lundborg in 2010. The Acid Archives (2nd ed.). Lysergia. p. 394) assert that the Elevators are the "first" psychedelic rock group. Powell St. John (later of "Mother Earth") and a member of 13th Floor discusses "the life and times" here--> http://www.musicliferadio.com/2010/10/024-sultan-of-psychedelia/.
Regardless, Roky Erikson was a very early casualty (and a sad one, too) of the "War On Drugs". |
For good (though badly recorded) music that still stands up and often references actual psychedelic experiences, it is hard to beat the Elevators. They were ahead of the pack of actual rock bans. It's a shame they didn't get noticed more outside of Texas and California.

When
you want to go extreme Trans Cosmic-Trip Express, and utterly flip your
lid -like Beany Boy and Cecil the Seasick Serpent - try TAKEHISHA KOSHUGI's
"CatchWave" lp ,('75).
Greg Pawleko really goes for this one in his
catalogue and warns that them who fly the heights dont necessarily come back
down.
But a warning word - this is not yer melodic prog.Pretty it aint. Pure
harrowing/mesmerizing Kosmic. Rather sparse, avant -lots of distorted vocals.
Sammmmy never checked, but Im certain this former leader of Taj Mahal
Travellers and East Bionic Symphonia ('76),appears on the legendary Nurse With
Wound Reference List (which all RIOists and noise-gardeners should indelibly
commit to memory.)

Leary's LP was released in August '66, when Rusty Evans was recording
his.
....................
In '65 there was the group Psychedelic Rangers .
But no lps were released.
|
I said Shelly Duval.
Meant Shelly Winters. |
Maybe if you cut all the first person shooter act and the deliberately bad hackney grammar, others might take you a little more seriously?
Just my musings.
Don't shoot me I'm only the Piano player. |
OK @sammmmmmy,
You know more than we/I do.
Will this suffice? |
I have a trade copy of "Wild In The Streets" lp. Groups titled The Gurus and 13th power (or summart loike that).
The movie starred Hal holbrook ,Shelly Duval and Richard Prior.
The lead character was called Max Frost. Isn't there a band, max Frost and the Troopers" or summat, which did the track "Shape of things to come"? |
Show us your go-go girlfriend's hippie dance moves. |
Turn on, tune in, drop dead. - Alfred E. Newman |
See the movie "Wild In The Streets" 1968. Thankfully Leary wasn't elected! |
So then, lads.
Wot was the last psychedelic album you played?
I can't remember mine. I've been listening to a load of Lightfoot lps recently.
(Gordon would stick-out at a Psychedelic Get Down Party, like a Jew would at the Christian almsbox.)
Wot lp would you play at a
Psychedelic Get Down Party ?
|
I will take Pink Floyd any day of the week. They were more psychedelic than any other band at the time. |
Also the idea was to fund him . Leary was running for gov of California, I believe. |
I believe the idea was to listen to it while under the influence... your mind would then fill in any and all (and then some) missing pieces. |
1970 Leary released "You can be anything this time around" lp. This time there were musicians doing a jam: Hendrix - bass Stills - guitar Miles - drums Sebastian - guitar (I was listening to this lp a few months back.) Get down boy!
|
Iso is CORRECT!
(Bit of a cheat on my part since this is a monologue (spoken word) lp. No musicians. But then again, to be fair, I didn't say that it had to be a band lp.) |
Timothy Leary "The Psychedelic Experience"? Apologies if this was already suggested, as I didn't read through this thread, being weary of inducing a bad flash-back!
|
It was meant to be funny btw |
the Beatles, among many, were blown away by Pet Sounds
Contributing to psychedelia's emergence into the pop mainstream was the release of Beach Boys' Pet Sounds (May 1966) [83] and the Beatles' Revolver (August 1966). [84] Often considered one of the earliest albums in the canon of psychedelic rock, [85][nb 12] Pet Sounds contained many elements that would be incorporated into psychedelia, with its artful experiments, psychedelic lyrics based on emotional longings and self-doubts, elaborate sound effects and new sounds on both conventional and unconventional instruments

Sammmmmy has not listened to The Deep lp for over 20 years now, but, on recently taking the short 31 minutes ,Sammms be distinctly under-whelmed on the psychedelic front.
Nonetheless, for the time it must have stood out with some peeps scratching their heads.
The lead track, "Coloured Dreams" first thing that comes to mind, of course is Dylan. (One member was afterall involved with Dylan). This track, and later on "Turned On" is straight from "Maggie's Farm" period. The nigh-rap ramblings on the first track immediately bringing to mind "Subterranean Homesick Blues".
The second track, "When Rain is Black" sounds unsurprizingly straight to me yet "something IS happening here, Mr Jones" since the mould is being broken: the song is about death. We are coming into one of the -albeit minor - hallmarks of psych: to break away from the saccharine verses.
"Crystal Night" is banjo-sound crap that would have fit in a bar scene on Bonanza.(One finger-played piani anorl.)
The tedious "Wake up and Find Me". Absolutely nothing remotely "psych" here.
"Trip '76" with the lyrics, "We're going on a pleasure ride to see what's on the other side" and "the future coming on too soon". Same four guitar notes throughout.
"Shadows on the Wall" Vibes, lounge moves,guitar played like one drunk - sounds exactly that to my ear -drunk (like "Rainy Day Women #12 and #35") not tripping.
"Psychedelic Moon" sung out of tune. "There's no reason I can't love you beneath the psychedelic moon." Almost a joke-track.
And the lp gets even worse towards the end. "Choice To Choose". Really nothing psych here except the NON-love lyrics.
And the Simon & Garfunkel-ish closer (with bells) "On Off, on off" ending with a few seconds of "Joy To The World"and an explosion (also taken from S&G -though Sammmmmy has not checked the release dates.)
Overall psych-ey? "A Mind-expanding phenomena"?
Not really.
Vibes, drums played like tymphani, sound effects thrown in (pigs at the trough and, later on, sounds like pelicans fighting over today's catch.) All this is okay....but.... Return to Website > Index

13th Floor Elevators lp was released November ’66
The Deep release date is unclear ,but thought to be late October/early Nov.
........................
Rusty Evans started off as rockabilly, releasing his first lp ,"I lived,I loved,I lost" in '63. Then there was the "Songs of Our Land" lp which - as you may think from the title - had Guthrie/Seeger folk moves. I think two other lps followed - none of interest here.
He shared Greenwitch venue with the likes of folkies like Fred Neil and Dylan. (Crosby too.)
2 Folkways lps and "All Night Singers" with two women in the band.
In '65, Rusty first dipped into "psych"-lite with the single "1983" on Musicor label.
Later he had connections with the excellent Tripsichord Music Box, Its A Beautiful Day and 5th Pipe Dream.
The Deep kicked-off as a clearly garage/folkrock. (I never could hear much psych here, but,afterall, this was psych in its most rudimentary stage.
Because of the (unfortunate) front cover where "Psychedelic Psoul" is put directly above Freakscene, peeps - what is the word? - misconstrued it to think the band named P.Psoul. (An even better example of confusion-rendering is the Joyride/Friendsound lp.)
The trouble with The Freak Scene lp is the throw-away counterculture-narration track.
"Draft Beer Not Students" is plain irksome (and very dated) fill.
The other thing is that it was recorded high into the treble. This can grate if you take in the whole lp - however short it is - at one listen.
Oh yeah - there is a slowed-down version of the classic, "Million Grains of Sand" on the Marcus lp -bitta orchestrated as well.

arctikdeth : wots the title of the lp?
who is the artist/band? |
|
Acman (and others): Sammmmmy is on dialup. I cannot acess youtubes easily. Please use words.
..........
The Deep is the one that everyone is told to go for.The one that is all over the net.
WRONG ANSWER.

I’ll guess Psychedelic Moods by The Deep. |
