The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band - Watch Yourself

[aliensporebomb]

Sounds to me like Pink Floyd borrowed portions of this chord progression for "Echoes". Ron Morgan, super unsung early guitar hero - Check out 4:42 sounds a heck of a lot like Carlos Santana but it's Ron thru and thru! 1968! A year before Santana's first album hit the streets.

I used to be in a WCPAEB cover band. never heard of them before but was asked to play drums, and I love their music

Sure am glad here to see some current posts about my Bro' Ron Morgan; his work with the WCPAEB and his recordings. Yes, the audience was "dubbed" in from a live Beach Boys Concert to give the impression of a live recording. The song was practically done live however and on the fly in a short time. The song was written by Bob Yeazel; a Friend of Ron Morgan who also helped Bob with the chord arrangement while writing this song. Ron sings the lead, the only recording he has ever done so.

@robertincolorado Thanks for the insight. I loved and listened to WCPAEB since 1967 and have all my original lps. Have many favorite songs, but this is on top.

My favorite tune since the late 60th......Amazing!!!

[ahniditab]

it's pre-recorded fake audience

[neeeee5eeeee]

is this a live recording?

[BeTheDeathOfMe]

@neeeee5eeeee

It seems to be a false live backing. Not sure why they did that.

[1951nightwish]

Brilliant, could you upload "As the world rises and falls" or "A childs guide to good and evil" from the same album?

[theQueenofPsych]

these guys are absolutely brilliant.

one of my favourite tracks from one of the greatest unknowns ever.

[clarkewi]

@theQueenofPsych From that psychedelic "Sunset Strip" era 1966 when LSD was not illegal. Led to the San Francisco "Haight Ashbury" 1967. The Grateful Dead lived in LA 1966 for "Acid Tests". Many bands - Doors, Love, Zappa, Captain Beefheart. A truly creative few years. Still have not recovered.
