Fantastic - could u give me some details about this? superb video.

[ShowBizComic]

Video match-up to this song is a hoot! Terrific use of footage from a flick that would be revolting were it not so campy. This MUSIC relic is a treasure, especially for us old-timer acid-heads that missed it the first time around. Man, I woulda played the hell out of this in '68!

[blacflag]

i take that as a real compliment, thanks....i agree film sounds like it was written by some government department somewhere...i got it for the chocolate watch band performance...after watching it i couldn't help but wonder how the hell they got them on there.

[chuckdee121]

I saw this on ebay, but bidding got crazy. Fantastic record, and I'd like to call it a work of art. I have scanned your rare label 45s and if you own those, well done!!

[blacflag]

it is classic, i dont own all the labels i used in videos, quite a lot of them but it's not every week i have a spare £500-£1000 to spend on a single. you can pick quite a lot of decent stuff up on ebay now for £5-£25 range. i usually have to get them from the u.s. site, still works out cheaper than buying from some of the u.k. dealers.

[gusstillrocks]

far out and groovy. i lived the era even in SF and never heard this one. cool video with it to. great!!!!

[blacflag]

thanks, appreciated, it is a rarity.

¡Muchisimas gracias!!!

[chainlinkray]

Mimsy Farmer is one hot chick. Nice post.

[guitargreats1]

Demented psychedelia at it's finest. Great visual from "Riot on the Strip". Reminds me of Hawkwind with the audio generators.This is from 1967 and the band was from S.F. Great post!

[blacflag]

thanks, i could have spent more time on video but i had to post this track as soon as, excellent sound. there doesn't seem to be much info on them. i read they were friendly with the elevators.

[blacflag]

here's a bit from a blog - Moving upwards and then to the right we end up in Oakland, where a bunch of heads known as DIRTY FILTHY MUD held the population hostage with strange sci-fi music and even stranger behavior... their "Forest Of Black" 45 is one of the freakiest and most highly rated acid music 45s of all time, and thanks to info provided by Dave Baldwin I am able to reveal the following:

[blacflag]

1) the blurry color design of their art sleeve is in fact a flashlight shining through a hippie shirt; 2) the band cut a whole bunch of unreleased tunes, incl an 11-minute version of "Forest Of Black" with acid guitar leads throughout... aargh... 3) the band were buddies with none other than the 13th FLOOR ELEVATORS during their Bay Area stay (Fall'66), and the amazing oscillator fx on "Forest" were in fact a tribute to TOMMY HALL's psychedelic jug. Courtesy of the lama workshop.

[guitargreats1]

I'll look up there Bio in Fuzz,Acid and Flowers(Vernon Joyson) and see what it says. That's some great facts you dug up about Roky and Tommy.The visual accomplishments are revealed like a magicians secret. Joshua Lights and Bill Ham would be proud.

[blacflag]

thanks, look forward to that. the copy i mentioned went for just over £400/$800. think it was because the seller didn't have much of a track record. still a lot of cash for one single.

[guitargreats1]

I bid on The Gonn for 600.00 hoping no one new about them. I lost out at closing time when someone won with an 800.00 bid. I should of went and bid 1,000.

[blacflag]

unlucky, some good stuff does slip under the radar though.
