United States ,Heavy Psychedelic Rock
"This lone album by the US psych rock band Christopher was originally a private pressing of just 100 copies. So it's not hard to understand why it's so rare and valuable nowadays. Musically the album is a mix of psychedelic rock, blues rock and even some heavy psych sound. The album opens with the lengthy title track which is a blues rocker just like the album closer "Day of Sunshine" as well. Both of those songs are good but they're not the highlights here. Rest of the material is psychedelic rock oriented and if you ask me the highlights here include "Death Song", "Fugue" and "Modern Day Oracles" which are all really solid songs. The B-side is slightly better than the A-side I think.
I like this album very much even if it's not one of my ultimate favourites of the late 60's US psych rock. But if you're a fan of the genre this LP is definitely worth checking out. Especially if you enjoy some blues rock mixed with psychedelia. Recommended."

ЗРЯ ВЫ ТАК ЕГО ВОСХВАЛЯЕТЕ, ЗДЕСЬ ХВАТАЕТ ХОРОШИХ КАНАЛОВ, НА РАЗНЫЕ ЖАНРЫ МУЗЫКИ! Я САМ ПОДПИСАН НА НЕСКОЛЬКО ДЖАЗОВЫХ КАНАЛОВ И СКАЖУ ВАМ, ЧТО МНОГОЕ В РОК МУЗЫКЕ ПОЯВИЛОСЬ БЛАГОДАРЯ, НЕ ГОВОРЯ УЖЕ О БЛЮЗЕ И ВО МНОГОМ ОТ ДЖАЗА!
Psychedelic rock with deeper acid rock and acid cosmic blues. A lethal combination. That makes this a killer album. It captures the psychedelic sounds of the late 60s. A hippie anthem album. Awesome underground band. Never heard, don't know this band. They sound so much like a San Francisco psych band. After I listened to this several times, out of curiosity I looked up some info, I wanted to know where in the US they were from. In fact they were from South Carolina. Just ahead of Southern rock, they were a Southern psych/acid blues rock band. This underground band was as good or better than any mainstream psych band of the era.
Thank you Best Dream for this psychedelic lollipop.
There are 2 psych bands called Christopher.
Good luck trying to find original copies of the albums though.
Best music came out of 60s & 70s era
Right out of the gate reminds me of "MASTERS OF REALITY" (Red Dress) with Ginger Baker & a bit of Alvin Lee. Very very cool! One of the best I've heard here in a long time (not that the rest have sucked) this is just a nice kick ass surprise. Thanks once again.
hippy dippy
Yes indeed, a kick ass surprise. ☮️
You mentioned "Master of Reality". This predates that album by two years. So, it's obvious that four certain delinquents in Birmingham got ahold of this LP...!
@@l.salisbury1253 I was talking about the band "Masters of Reality" not the Sabbath album.
I'm really surprised that only 100 copies of this album were ever produced this one may never come off the bang and oulfson
I LOVE this era of rock!! Straight from the guitar to the board, little to no effects to mush the mix. I bet y'all can't stop tapping your feet.
Exactly. Start with late 70s, sound quality goes straight down.
You lose THAT bet!! I never started.
Sí...! Tienes razón: estoy marcando el ritmo por debajo de la mesa ahora mismo y no me había dado cuenta.
Only 100 copies, a rare treasure! Wonderful quality, thank you so much for uploading ❤️

Wow, this is great. A lot of these songs remind me of the group Love. Maybe there are better comparisons (I wasn't around back then). UA-cam is just incredible for stuff like this, btw. An album with 100 pressings gets 10,000 listens in just a couple of weeks. Amazing!
Very cool album! 👍 The opener kind of reminds me of "Soul Franciso" by Light of Darkness.
The "origins of metal" date back to the 1950s . A band called Christopher in 1968, their first and only album (100 known to exist) Heavy phycodelic blues, references to early template heavy metal. Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath known as the unholy trinity sparked heavy metal worldwide. But the roots of those bands drew elements from Hard Rocks bands, such as Christopher, The Kinks, Link Wray, and Blue Cheer during the mid and late 60s.
Это великолепно! Спасибо!

They're great!

Sicodelia subterránea..... En el 69 todos miados con el sargento pimienta y esta joya enlatada, escondida
Gracias por compartirla
Fantastic album!!
Looooooove it :-)
Bravo bravo!!!!!!!
Apparently there were a couple of groups at this time simultaneously called Christopher, including one UK group. Is this the one that got 'adopted' by the Hell's Angels? I think these guys were San Fran based so highly likely!
Absolutely no dislikes. And this is how Il like it.
It's only been up 3 days man, give it time
@@Red_Beard2798 yeah, evil lurks.
This is smoking! Danm some fuzzed out blues maddness
This is a gem. First time hearing this. Wow. The good old days.👍👍👍👍
فريق أسطوري
great stuff! very enjoyable!
30:00 in, when is it supposed to start getting psychedelic?
If the drummer was co-producer, why is there hardly any drums on it? I can hear the trap cymbals louder than the drums and those weren't louder than a whisper! What'd he use to play the drums with, a pair of Q-Tips?
Excelente disco, de gran factura musical, felicidades banda, larga vida al rock and roll, ahí van mis 5 estrellas
Hay te va el. Nombre de una banda no de 5 estrellas si no de 6 o más "Ciruela" de Reynosa Tamaulipas poderosa 60tera
Saludos
first track , makes me reminisce on early fogerty , there is some early bloodwyn pig sounds or savoy brown / foghat sound to this , lousiana blues done californian style .
So glad I got to listen to this band, what a great album thanks for uploading it.
Why cant Akarma, Italy or some other company not reissue this masterpiece?
Ekipi legjendar
Am I the only one to hear a similarity between the intro of Fugue and the one of Paint it Black?

Was it the strokes, Jet, or some one similar must have heard this ?
!!! Exelente música tanks,,!!!
Muito bom esse álbum
Que baixo é esse? maravilhoso
I only knew a texan band called Christopher, this must be another unknown band (for me) but excellent too. Thankyou TheBest.
Yea. I got the other Christopher. They sounded real hippie, heavy and druggy.
This Christopher was from Columbia, SC. The guitarist passed away a few years back. Great localpsych group in South Carolina.
That opening track was real good, but way too long, should have been 4 minutes, not 12.
Убойный хипповский альбом. Словно ползешь верх по отвесной сакале головою вниз. А вокруг крокодилы летают.
Is this the same Christopher who released that ultra rare album in 1970 that's worth $1400?
This album was first released in 1969, the album you are referring to was released in the 70's, just both groups have the same name and are American
rateyourmusic.com/artist/christopher_f2
$1400 is chump change compared to an original pressing of this album in great shape. Over $3500 in some cases!!!
I thought the same but had read that the other Christopher (also some real psych stuff) was an only-one-record group. It's TWO one-off psych albums called Christopher
