I've picked out 16 of your songs to go into a psych compilation I've been putting together for 25 years. If I can ever finish it, it'll be at least 152 full CD's long! I just saw a video a few months ago of the band doing a recent concert. Are you still with them or was that just Peter with a new backing band? I couldn't believe they actually did, "Music" live! It closed out the gig!! I sure miss my drums and especially playing on stage!!
@@RedVynil hi if it was the gig at Hoxton.hall in2017 it was me it was our 50th anniversary take care keep rockin dan good luck with your.project and thank you.
You get an A+ for your channel you're not only show the album you say the name clearly you also have the band name on the timeline. You also have some general information about the type or style music etc. I don't know how difficult this is to do but many don't for some reason. You definitely give me a reason to keep coming back and watching your videos I am subscribing today keep up the good work.
Nice video. I only have twelve of your thirty. Thanks for your information. I will be on the lookout for the others. It is unbelievable how much great music is out there that no one hears.
What a list, not one argument from me, all essential, I need that Justin O Brian album for sure, could not agree more about Strawberry Alarm Clock, what a band. Nice to see Phluph also, I think that one gets slept on and is undervalued. Great video. Loved it
* Man, I was born in 1957 and lived the psyche age. Never thought I missed any psychedelic band but you've embarrassed me ! I haven't heard of most of those bands !!! Thankyou ! I'm gonna have to spend an afternoon listening to all I missed back in the sugar cube Lsd25 days ! Lol !
Freak Scene!!! Haha love it. So trippy. Solid list. We’ve got a few favorites that overlap. With ya on Tangerine Dream to the max. Good to see Strawberry Alarm Clock getting mentioned. Definitely essential. PLASTIC CLOUD!!! Top tier. The absolute apex of Canadian psych. Agreed on Freeborne as well.
Derek, thanks for showing more great music. Enjoyed Churchill's and Bit A Sweet the most, this time. Your videos are the best in the V.C. And, with your help, got to listen to Eric from another video.
This was fantastic Derek. I really appreciate you passing on your longtime love and knowledge of psych music. The ones that I want to check out I will search for in my future digs and add to my VC want list notebooks. Eli from Israel sent me a copy of the Churchills album a few years ago. Crazy how they used his original copy/artwork as a master to press the reissues. I loved when Dallas showed his copy too. Have a great week Derek~ Rob/Boston
Really interested to see your faves. When I first heard Kaleidoscope on one of the Bam Caruso Rubble comps I knew they were special. Certainly would include that first LP if I was making a list. Strawberry Alarm Clock, great. I’ve not heard the Churchill’s record but have seen lots of people raving about it. Take care and thanks, John
Hi, new subscriber here! UA-camr Frank Cappa psych-marine recommended you channel... I love the atmosphere of the video! P.S.: I didn’t know Gandalf and Complex...great songs! Thanks! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Not a bad pick in there! You always have a way of finding great copies of psych gems!! All it took to drag me in was that thumbnail of Tangerine Dream!!
Great video Derek, I own virtually none of these but have streamed quite a few..hope to pick a few up sometime.Love that Ultimate Spinach album.Trip thrust Hell I heard years ago when a friend picked up a reissue..great stuff, very enjoyable journey.Take care.😉👍
I see some people taking issue with The Stooges being here. Their name was shortened from The Psychedelic Stooges! We only call it punk/protopunk in retrospect. We Will Fall is trippy as hell. I still need a copy.
Excellent selection. I might agree with this list more than any other I've seen! Wow! I have a question since you have an original Gandalf...... Two minutes into the track "You Upset the Grace of Living", there is, what sounds like, tape flaws and quick channel dropouts on the digital and cd masters. ( I don't think it's a psychedelic effect). I was wondering if it was like that on the original vinyl or those flaws were from later masters only. btw, Kaleidoscope is everything! Weird how that album turned out to be the thumbnail on my latest video too, but I have merely the cd.
Just came around to watch this. May be the best thing on UA-cam ever!! Added a bunch to the want list. But I can't find Fore on Discogs. Can you give me a link ore a search criteria so I can find it and sample it. Thanx for the video!!
I picked up a sealed copy of the Bit a Sweet Lp last year. Discovered when I opened that it has an insert. I think this is the same group that did the highly sought after 45 Out of Sight Out of Mind on MGM. If so the Lp costs less than the 45!
Hey Derek nice old school type video. Lots of cool records and yackin. I have never heard the Churchill’s. I need to I guess. Freak scene is excellent. That Cooper is a favorite of mine also. I keep forgetting about Group 1850. I’ll be back
@@Blackshoveldeathgrip Don't have Velvet Fogg. I wouldn't put it in my all-time favorite either. July is a close contender. A UK essential, just didn't make the top 30.
Man, you really turned me on to the private press stuff. Paul Major’s book is a must for private press heads. Are you a fan of Ilian love me crazy from ‘77? It’s god tier private press from Paul’s collection reissued on anthology I believe. I’ve recently been blown away by Stan Hubbs “Crystal” private album from ‘80 as well
I am familiar with Ilian Love, but have not dove into that one yet. I do own Stan Hubbs. I got a really odd comment about 2 years ago now from a family member who claimed to be the record photographer's daughter. Claiming he was a very rude guy. But I guess Kim Fowley as a human sucked, but we still love his music output haha. Thanks.
PsycheDerek Wow, what an odd story! Maybe his rudeness came from having that massive forehead. I am waiting on a book in the mail about acid casualty Maitreya Kali/Craig Smith titled “swim through the darkness”. My local shop had an OG copy of “Inca” and it led me down the rabbit hole
great subject people forget how important psyc music was in later sixties ```and what was psychedelic was it fuzz tones ,weird lyrics, a moog , what makes a psychedelic sound i thinkzappas freakout was psyc,along with crazy world of arthur brown , syd barretts solo stuff,its kind of subjective because thir could be made a case for Beatles strawberry fields as well as donovans mellow yellow period. it all took place in a time mid sixties to early seventies for the most part,at its peak . i could name a lot more bands but as i said it is subjective ,but its a music form ive always loved . nice topic tho thanks. give us more.
You look to have some interesting stuff i'm unaware of Here's mine of the top of my head Pink Floyd’s first album Piper at the gates of Dawn which is a psych master piece Their seconds not bad either July is an excellent album the rest In no particular order Non 60’s where stated C.A Quntett “Trip thru hell” 69 US Group 1850” Agmos trip to mother earth” Dutch The Electric Prunes “Underground”US Freeborne “Peak impressions US The Collectors The Collectors The Collectors “ Grass and wild strawberries “Canada My indole Ring “My indole Ring “ Canada The Shamen “ Drop “ UK 1986 The Dukes of Stratosphere “ 25 o clock Uk 86?

Still jealous about Gandalf. Someday I'll get it. Good picks. Bubblegum pop psych isn't my favorite but you did good. Maybe I'll follow you on this thread.
Psych really does seem to vary from one person to the next as to what they consider psychedelic. Wouldn't put the st/ Stooges in there, but I see ppl put VU & Nico in psych lists, along with some just very acoustic/folky stuff. So...But not seeing 13th Floor Elevators, Chocolate Watch Band, Floyd, the Airplane, July, Pretty Things, Steppes, Hendrix, Hawkwind, kinda boggles my mind. And you include a great comp. but what about Nuggets or Pebbles. Pebbles vol. 3 has some fantastic stuff on it. Sure you're not trying too hard to be obscure hipster guy?
@kevinlakeman5043 An obscure hipster guy? You must be new here. Don't make assumptions about someone you don't know. Those bands you listed didn't make my all-time favorites. Very few make the 5-star cut for me.
Hey brother, how is that Psychedelia book? I've been thinking about getting it. I'm not sure if you have a video on it, but I do remember that I could't find any videos when I tried looking a little while ago. Let me know if you recommend it, thank you!
There's probably several I find overrated, but I can't think of too many at the moment. One that came to mind is Odessey And Oracle. Not very psych, but as a pop album I find it about average. S.F. Sorrow is another I've never been crazy about. Any Small Faces record. They're not really psych, but The Velvet Underground have been hyped so much. They may have influenced a ton of groups, but not the best musicianship or artistic moves to my ears.
I'm surprised everyone leaves The Golden Dawn off their 60's Psychedelic lists. The Power Plant LP has some good songs, especially Starvation and It's My Time.
It's a very vast genre. I tried to hit all the different styles & cultures within, of the records I owned at the time. I still don't have a copy of Power Plant. But it is a must-have for the roots of TX psych.
So I was very intrigued by the " Phluph " album and looked it up. WAS interested until I saw the price. They're asking an astronomical amount of $ 187.00. I don't doubt that it's a very good album but really ??? Let's face it, most of us just don't have money to burn.
I've never seen Phluph sell for that much. Last I checked on average, you can still find nice copies for $30-40. Phluph is widely acclaimed, so it could be selling for much but isn't.
Before the internet that Psychedelic Psoul album booked for up to $300. Now you can get a good copy for $40. The internet has killed a lot of the high priced rare records.
bauertime You’re not the first person I’ve heard say that about Psychedelic Psoul. The internet has been a gift and a curse for the record market. The cat is out of the bag on a lot of stuff.
@@PsycheDerek. Hope you can track one down. It's probably my favourite psych album outside of the obvious choices. Anyway, I'm really enjoying the channel and impressed with your collection.

Nice job Derek, some nice choices there for sure, I like Phluph but not sure if that's a five star album, all opinion. Cool stuff!
Yeah it's probably a 4.5/5 for me, love nearly every track except their version of "It Takes A Lot To Laugh...". A very listenable album.
The water pipe on Debka is classic off of the Churchills
