Wow. This song has the power to raise your IQ. Thanks for sharing this.

The Factory's only other single, "Try a Little Sunshine," was written for them by John Pantry, and issued in late 1969. It sounded a little like a mating of the Who and the Moody Blues, with its crunching guitar chords and catchy, wistful vocal harmonies. heard by few and the group disbanded shortly afterward. From All Music

[valeriedesjardins]

The Factory recorded two singles in the late 1960s-that combined psychedelia with power pop harmonies. Their first single, "Path Through the Forest," was a respectable piece of hard psychedelia with commendably creative guitar and vocal distortion, came out in late 1968.

awsome..thanks for the upload



[theorangebox999]

I'm sure I saw Jimi Hendrix/Jim Morrisons face at the very beginning

[tsurumichan]

nice. that guitar sounds like the electric banana at times, but those vocals are definitely on it. must tabs this one out

[HyaPowa]

First time that I've heard this. I've collected a lot, and listened to a lot of psych, but am still at a loss to understand why so much of it was released in mono, rather than stereo. There certainly was the capability at the time, and if any music sounds best in stereo, it's psychedelic music. IMHO. Any ideas?

[shockmastershocksu]

@HyaPowa sounds better in stereo? Mono sounds punchier for 60s stuff IMO

[HyaPowa]

@shockmastershocksu Well, to some, mono is superior to stereo, but for me, in the case of psychedelic music, I like to hear all the amazing tricks and effects that usually accompany psych pieces. I should mention that I am a frequent headphone user, as well. No slight intended to the particular piece of music here, just a general observation.

[shockmastershocksu]

@HyaPowa the factory weren't a huge band, they never recorded a full album just singles and some demos. That might be why there's only mono mixes, just a guess.

[JagrrrTV]

it will drive insane? Okay sign me up cuz this is so kick ass.

[animalmother4]

holy shit this sounds like what some of the neo psychedelic bands tried to sound like in the 90's (dandy's, brian jonestown, ect.)

[mindtrippp]

GOD..trippin me out mannnn!!

[hejafish]

wow! extended version!! Even better with the intro n outro!!! This one was a John Peel favourite. Ultra rare on 7"..and I've got it!! ha!! (but it's a re-press.. bugger)

[cadin2020]

Listened to this with the Clash in the early to mid 70's,,, can't believe it!!!!!!

[mrbag60]

If this song got any trippier you likely would be hearing sights and seeing sounds

[wfodnf]

Great psychedelic song from the 60's!

[wfodnf]

[froskull]

Wow. Cool song & beautifully edited psychedelia. An epilepsy warning might be warranted...

Love the use of the Patrick Stewart .gif from Cyriak, just quick & distorted enough that people won't shout "Captain Picard" while trippin' out to the effects.

[boffo1962]

The additional layers feel tacked on, to my ear...

[psychpop]

[jamesjamm79]

TOP NOCH PSYCH the record comp turned this version down and got them to record it with out the jungle sounds

[chuckdee121]

This is so dope, it's like a bad boy smokin on a stinky fatty blunt. This has that x-factor, and is real mysterious, but I love it, and think it has to be one of the best songs I've ever heard!

[JohnnyTrotz]

-pure dopeness--

[turquoisetandemcycle]

This is great,but its a different version of the song from the one i have.More echoes and effects especially at the start and end.Where do i find this version?

[joeydisco]

I'm in the same boat. Great song and this is slightly the superior version.

[turquoisetandemcycle]

well the version i have is on a compilation called "sugarlumps" and its the only one i can find.Can someone help and tell us where we can find this version?

[ShowBizComic]

Sorry. I meant slide on rainbows. Ride, slide, whatever, just get on one and fly. I'm insane, insane....

[ShowBizComic]

This tune definitely has got that Sixties roller coaster ride in all it's GLORY. Ride on rainbows, dance on moonbeams, you know what I mean. Gonna play it one mo' time!

[steveuk17]

Why can I see girl's go-go dancing on tables when I hear this ,or more importantly, where can I see girls go-go dancing on tables while I listen to this!...Time for my medication.
