Ahhhh......but what about "The Ultimate Spinach" and their "Hip Death Goddess"?? Now THAT'S late 60s psychodelic music! KGA in Spokane played it over and over again in 1969 by a DJ named "Shane" who owned and drove a black Funeral Limosine to work every day....

[myrecordcollection]

Ultimate Spinach is shown in my "Psychedelic Classics" video. That's how highly I think of them: they're "classics" rather than "obscurities." After all, their first album made the Billboard Top 40 album charts.

Hey, nice collection. Not sure how much of it I'd really call psychedelic, though. In any case, you should stack those all back up and go hunt for an original LP of "White Noise -- An Electric Storm in Hell," and put it at the very top. Then, the next time you go to show off your collection, everyone who knows what's what will know you mean business.

[myrecordcollection]

I mean, kind of. We can always go more and more obscure. But to some degree that just becomes musical snobbery, whereby we're eager to tell our friends that our favorite band or favorite album is something "you've probably never heard of." My purpose here is pretty simple: most people probably think of The Doors or Jefferson Airplane when they think of "psychedelic" rock, so I just wanted to show some relative unknowns in that general area.

where's Bangor Flying Circus?

[myrecordcollection]

Hmm, I'm not sure I've ever actually seen a copy of that one. I know it was on Dunhill, and I suspect it even made the album charts, but I don't remember seeing a copy. I must admit that in my mind I get it a little confused with the two albums by The Smith, who also recorded for Dunhill.

[TiedyemansVideos]

I think you deserve some kind of award for obscurity on this. Never heard of any of these bands. Is any of the music any good or is that the reason I've never heard of them?

[TiedyemansVideos]

@DefiniteMC I have a copy of White Noise, it's rather psychedelic but not really that pleasant to listen to if you're on psychedelics.

[DIGITALSCREAMS]

Very very very nice....

Thanks for the video.

[StuffThatBurns]
