Does anyone know what technique is being used to record the lead singer's vocals? He has a great voice but it sounds like he's singing down an empty hallway. It's not an echo but it has an airy sound to it. There are other psychedelic bands that make their voices sound this way too. It has an ethereal and atmospheric sound. I like it.

[LukeMcPoop]

@vidform From 'From Sauce to Sorcery. The Saga of The Rahgoos and Gandalf': "The band had acquired a Binson Echorec, a tape echo unit which they employed extensively. Mike Esposito of fellow Night Owl habituees the Blue Magoos used a similar device for lead guitar with dazzling results, but the Rahgoos (Gandalf) went further, often running the vocals through it to give Peter's vocals an eerie, disembodied quality."

[abcdefg9587]

@vidform a pretty bright and full reverb with a pretty short attack, i guess

[missingt00th]

@vidform A pinch of chorus, then drenched in reverb, and using the doubling effect on the voices (either two-tracking tow separate takes of her vocals, or recording one track, and then doubling it up). I think that's what's at work here. It does sound full and airy.

[bestiadecimononica]

thank great album

can up song´s of Barracuda?

[ConfusedSponge]

Great Society's version's much better!

[ConfusedSponge]

@ConfusedSponge Gandalf's version, you can only enjoy and get the song when you're stoned or high or both ; -)

[Rocksteddybelmont]

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn

Is just to love and be loved in return."

[funkyfoo121]

BEST GUITAR SOLO EVER.

When the guitar starts blaring I drop everything and play my air guitar as if my life depended on it.

[dave2193]

i just bought this sundazed reissue my self a couple of mounths ago

[fretboardyoda]

I really like this version, and (wait for it) the Leonard Nimoy version is amazing too!

[MrMrAleksa]

There was a boy... A very strange enchanted boy. They say he wandered very far, very far Over land and sea, A little shy and sad of eye But very wise was he. And then one day, One magic day, he passed my way. And as he spoke of fools and kings, Many things, This he said to me: "The greatest thing you'll ever learn Is just to love and be loved in return." Just love and be loved in return.

[funkyfoo121]

I just found this accidentally... I didn't know I liked psych rock 

[nineteenseventynines]

i remember winning this album on ebay after listening to a couple of tracks on youtube,,,, when i got the cd in the mail i popped into my portable cd player and i took a train ride on the n line and when i heard what i had bought it almost made me shed a tear,... gandalf has to be the best psyche group of all time ... only the zombies can compare  to gandalf ..

[bndrpz]

the best version , with a special guitaaaaaaaaaar solo

[MetalMilitia072583]

i cant seem to find this album, i found "Gandalf II" on amazon but it's missing this song and a couple others

[DaFuZzMaStA]

Play this at my funeral please

[illoominatykilla]

[ghost2031]

@illoominatykilla

[dabyd666]

[TheBitterSweetgr]

THUMBS UP!!!!!Alongside Summertime by Big Brother and Janis,this is the scariest and guttsiest psych solo ever recorded....it sends shivers down my spine!!!!!!A fantastic rendition....the best version of this song for sure....what an adventurous lp!If H.P Lovecraft were alive,that's the kind of music he would be listening to!!!

[therealKINDLE]

This is AMAZING! What a rare find. Just like the English band "World of Oz" they were Phychadelic, Groundbreaking & Stunted due to Promotion fuck ups.

IDENTICAL TO WORLD OF OZ... How can it be?

[TheOutroDistinto1]

i like this

[BBC4music]

as much as i totally love all UK psych (i am 100% a Brit), it pains me to admit the greatest psych LP of all time is bloody American!!!
