Your collection is amazing. I am beyond impressed! Thanks for the education in psych rock! Any Frijid Pink in the collection?

[myrecordcollection]

Uhhh. Hmm. No, actually.  I've come across a few copies of their first album but I think each time it was a bit expensive. Plus to be honest I never really liked Frijid Pink all that much, although "Crying Shame" from the first album I like.

Do you know where I can find the birthday party album ? I've been lookin for a long time !

[mythtree]

@daddyknobling Album art is amazing, the saddest part of CD's -> MP3's etc. Well that & the lost subtleties analogous in waves cut short in digitized hype... I miss every pop & click, though few; music was handled mroe respectfully then it seems...

[myrecordcollection]

Then again, if all you want to do is listen, why not just buy the CD for ten bucks? No record fetishism required, no costs driven up.

Elmer Gantry's Velvet Opera is an unknown classic gem. "Flames" should have been a huge hit.

Elmer Gantry's Velvet Opera is a classic, un known gem. "Flames" should have been a huge hit.

watched a few of your videos... FYI, it's pronouced rePREEESE not rePRIZE.

I think my dad had some of them records and from what I can remember they were pretty cool.

That Elmer Gantry's Velvet Opera record is one of my favorites. There's something a little more timeless about their sound compared to a lot of the other psych groups. The bass is killer too!

@myrecordcollection I didn't know that. Wasn't a fan of theirs. Square.

Then again, Roulette was making millions from those Tommy James and the Shondells records well into '69-'70.
