Underground rock at its best. It's nice to be able to listen to this without worrying about getting the original Underground Imp. pressing out of its sleeve !
Thanks for posting this.
The real sound of '67 - London's answer to The Mothers.
This is psychedelic anyways, which is a lot of what punk is about. Listen to "Nuggets". Listen to "Loaded", Listen to "The Velvet Underground & Nico 1966" "David Bowie 1967". All this stuff aside from Michael's branch from swing and pop mainly based in the creation of punk. Johnny Cash and the folk of Bob Dylan also had a lot to do with it.
Iggy Pop is, that's just what he is. You could argue the same thing about The Velvet Underground. I've heard King of Punk before, which seems more accurate, considering B.B. King is the king of the blues, Jerry Lee Lewis is the king of rocknrock, Michael is the King of Pop, and Elvis is just The King. Everything before them were the influence that got them to their monarchial throne in music society.
I'm just reading the book titled "Give the Anarchist a Cigarette" written by Mick Farren, the vocalist of this song himself. Very interesting autobiography describing the history of British underground subculture at the beginning of hippy movement. Thanks to this clip, I have confirmed that his singing style was indeed remarkable, if not excellent in the usual meaning of the word. BTW, "Give the Anarchist..." refers to a comment made by Bob Dylan.
OK, let me be the one that tells you...the beginning of this song does NOT sound like Primus. HOWEVER...the Primus song DOES sound a lot like THIS...THIS being from 1967, when nobody from Primus was even born. "Primus" is latin for FIRST. I don't THINK so!
Listening to this song for the first time in about thirty-five years, it hit me how it ties in with "Goin' Home", from Aftermath, by the Stones. How about uploading "Sydney B. Goode"?
Incredible...in 1967!!!Psich-proto punk...fantastic...

Way ahead of its time. This band evolved into the Pink Fairies, another band ahead of its time.

Beautiful like a slap in the face. Raw, expressionist rock music.

Bought this album in 1971. The cover had my favourite quote of all time "If s**t ever becomes valuable the poor will be born without ars**oles".
Great track, also loved The Nothing Man.
Where are bands like this nowadays?

PTOOF! is a pure raunch trip, and they were big Captain Beefhart admirers.
Found the album in the 1980's in a used bin and loved the Rauschenberg-like cover art, so I took a chance.
A find!!!!
"Nothing Man" is "Nowhere Man" with balls.

KRLA used to play these guys on their midnight radio show back in 67. I was a mere slip of a girl, and I loved them even then.
