Mayo was maybe a genius but The Parable Of Arable Land (featuring Roky of the Elevators) sits in my shelf unlistened since '97 or '98... this is the only SONG in there,,,
@Epsilon15 Well... you can make the argument that VU and Nico is punk but I don't think that argument holds up too well. I just don't see what punk has to do with drones, violins, Eastern music, German chanteuses and 8-minute avant-noise jams. I usually think of Neu!'s "Hero" as the true birth of punk... most of what comes prior merely hints at it.
It's on some flexidisc 7" that came with a magazine around 1978 when Radar reissued some of the IA albums. I have it and it's 33rpm and contains Reverberation (I think?) by the 13th Floor Elevators, original version, plus this version of HFP.
Very cool new wave version, huh? Here, however, it plays a bit fast (you can hear the voice is a bit weird).
Yes, this is a terrific version!! I wish it were available on CD; perhaps it is, or else "Songs WeTaughtGolly" had somehow converted the music from vinyl to Mp3...
At any rate, can someone please let me know if they find this version in Mp3 / CD format?
@SongsWeTaughtGolly This version seems to attract more people. Anyway Red Krayola's Parable of Arable Land sounds more like noise-avant-garde. Psychedelia is not the first thing that pops in mind when you consider this album; I love your version and peace out bro:)
@DrLearyUSA What do you mean "psychedelia is not the first thing that pops in mind when you consider this album", I listened to Parable Of Arable Land a few days ago on LSD, and it's one of the most psychedelic albums "out there" for sure.
this was a flexi freebie in the 70's with either the nme or melody maker or sounds ....

@grahamlaur Well the Velvet Underground & Nico came out in March 1967, so maybe not so much before punk if Parable of Arable land came out later.

This version is also on the sampler "Acid Dreams Volume two" from Gutter records (1998), maybe you'll find a copy or ask me.

Actually this is not the usual version of this song. The better known is slower and more psychedelic.
