It’s one album I’m looking for myself! I heard about it last year and I really like the sound of it. The previously unreleased record before is pretty cool too, but Further Adventures is my favourite!
Man I could listen to you recite a phone book. Absolutely eloquent voice flow. But thankfully you are talking about music! However you should be paid to record audio books. Truly I’m a huge fan!
I agree, a great voice and fluid speech, without lots of erm, ums and arrs. Also has a good face for radio, sorry Barry I couldn't resist that old joke! But seriously, a great channel, great reviews, beautifully narrated and well researched. Always worth tuning in even if it's a band or record I'm not really that interested in. Also Barry and this channel have turned me on to some bands and records that I hadn't explored before. . .
I've got that Troll album and I was excited to see it on your list. Chicago is basically a blues town, but back in the 1960s we had a good amount of psych bands that don't seem to get the recognition they deserve: Aorta, The Troll, Rotary Connection, and HP Lovecraft..
Look forward to checking these out. The best one I’ve discovered is the album Begin by The Millennium. Great songwriting, very melodic (has similarities with SMiLE). Columbia spent a fortune on the production, and it really shows, but sadly it wasn’t a commercial success.
Here I was thinking I might get a "Further Adventures of Charles Westover" shoutout, but instead, I've now got 10 albums, 9 of which I've never heard of, to seek out! Well played.
Chad and Jeremy's Of Cabbages and Kings (1967) is pretty obscure, and I'd argue it fits the psychedelic category. My favorite is Donovan's Gift from a Flower to a Garden.
Thanks so much for video. I never heard of any of these bands, but after listening to these albums I've found new favs. Elephant Candy & Beautiful Sun are superb! I look forward to more suggestions.
One of the trippiest psychedelic songs I've heard was by a group called The End, The song was called Shades of Orange, and what's cool about it was that Charlie Watts played tabla on it.
I think Charlie produced it, but London records held onto a Year! before releasing it by which the Psych wave had broken. It remains an Excellent album!
Interesting stuff Barry, I will be checking some of these out further (I liked Grapefruit). I have a few suggestions for 'bad trip'/darker psychedelia albums: 1. White Noise - An Electric Storm (1968), which features Delia Derbyshire of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop (composer of the Dr Who theme). It features a track called 'Black Mass: An Electric Storm In Hell'! 2. Mort Garson - The Wozard of Iz (1968) - the Wizard of Oz story transplanted to Vietnam-era America with some disturbing early electronic sounds 3. Brainticket - Cottonwoodhill (1971) - a very druggy/proto-dub sound with lots of distortion and reverb, music changing abruptly part-way through tracks and screaming female vocals (genuinely disturbing!).
Fun fact: When I heard the phrase Federal Duck in this video, I knew I had read it somewhere before. Then I remembered - this was the band of American humorist Dave Barry, when he was in college! He wrote about it in one of his books. I think played the guitar in it, although I could be wrong. I hadn't known they'd ever put out an album.
Fantastic category and great choices - would also show some love for David Hemmings curio, "Happens" which has some fantastic psychedelic pop on it; and Newcastle's finest, Skip Bifferty who produced a gem of an album in 1968
Deviled Ham-I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night. A band from Barrington, RI. One member Vinton Medbury went on to become Uncle Vinty. There are some videos of him on UA-cam of his artistic performances.
Quicksilver Messenger Service's 1969 album "Happy Trails" is a very fine American psychedelic album. Popular to a degree back in its day, I dare say most people nowadays are most probably not familiar with this band nor its albums.
I think it is fairly well known but yes it is an absolute classic. I love how they keep jamming on that Bo Diddley track and invent a series of different themes from it.
@@DarkSideOfTheMoule Agreed! Wonderful jam! I was only going by friends and colleagues' experiences....none of them had ever heard of QMS before. They might have been well known back in their day, but am thinking that they might have faded into general obscurity now.
@@garyh.238 Gary Duncan from that band is such an underrated guitarist too - most people haven't heard of him. Very different style from Jorma Kaukenen or Jerry Garcia but equally important to the development of the acid rock style in my view.
I loved this video. I was disappointed that Spirit's 12 Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus didn't come up, but also relieved that it's not "forgotten"! One of my personal faves.
I enjoyed it. A bit of a detour from your regular material and stepping back into the decade of explosive music change. You should do a regular 60's era themed video. To sharpen up the psychedelic edge a bit, bands like The Golden Dawn, Tomorrow, Love, 13th Floor Elevators, The Attack are great listens and lesser known as well.
Yes, 1968 does seem to be loaded with many virtual unknowns and I’d love to check out some of those you mentioned. But I’ve got a couple I’d like to share. “ Peak Impressions “ by The Freeborne ( ‘68 out of Boston ), and “ Flash “ by The Moving Sidewalks, ‘69. Although that one might not be as obscure since the album was known for launching Billy Gibbons career.
Great video. Just to point out that Rock Romano from The Fun and Games went onto work in a band called 'Dr Rockit and The Sisters of Mercy', he didn't go through an enormous goth faze in the 1980s unfortunately. 😅
As a collector of the genre, i would highly recommend the lazy smoke, corridor of faces, and the mighty Churchills from Israel. Having collected psychedelic rarities for over 30 years, most can be a little overrated or absolute shite but these two are absolutely mind blowing.
@davidgibson9405 I'm glad to hear you liked it David . Its one of the rarest albums of the era, with very few copies ever making it out of Israel. I was lucky enough to find a reprint in London 25 odd years ago. It's an absolute banger.
Again, thanks for putting me onto these albums that I was not aware of. The Blackwood Apology album is exceptional. I have purchased via iTunes a number of tracks today from your suggestions. The Rascals album certainly oozes Motown influences doesn't it? Looking into a vinyl or two purchase as well. We can't have a trip back to this era without sitars! Enjoyed this - thanks.
The members of The Third Rail would later go on to write for the Kazanetz-Katz Bubblegum music team. Joey Levine would also provide lead vocals to many of those bigger hits, including Yummy Yummy Yummy. Grapefruit not only had the AC/DC brother connection, George Young of The Easybeats was also one of the brothers. Alex was the only brother to stay in England when the rest of the family emigrated to Australia.
I have the Colours album and love it. I used to live on Haight-Ashbury decades ago and picked it up with a lot of my records back then. 1964-1972 is my favorited time of music.
The Grooviest Girl In The World charted in my hometown in Australia & I've had the single since then. I also like the B side, It Must Have Been The Wind. It's a pity the band didn't do more.
So, in what class would you group bands such as Ars Nova? And based by your off-hand comment, don't know whether you liked Ultimate Spinach or not and their "skull fuckery"? And no one ever mentions The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band.
Great episode Mr. CAR I learned a lot and I think you should do one joint podcast with Pop goes the 60s Matt Williamson, who knows a lot and loves all this pop American psychedelia of the late 60s. I could see it being beneficial to you and Tim and a lot of fun, OK I don’t really have a dog in this race anyway I loved hearing about some of these things that I didn’t know about and I remain a fan. I am Jerry head Potente from Wayback win so yes, it has Square 1973 alpha how about that? OK? Keep up the good work brother we
I meant I saw yes in 1973 at Madison Square Garden and I also saw Jethro Tull in the garden and traffic in the field forum all in 73 or 74 that’s what I was trying to say keep up the good work
Love the reviews. Here's another weird, obscure, psychedelic band that released a couple of albums during the late 60s. The band's name is The Ultimate Spinach. I believe they were from New York state. Keep up the amazing videos!
Haven't heard of any of these albums, which is one of reasons I subscribe: exposure to music I never heard before. I'm going to listen to these albums on UA-cam. Peace
Bought it back in the mid 80s on vinyl and still have it. Only to discover a number of years later that it’s actually XTC under a pseudonym - same as Naz Nomad & the Nightmares - AKA The Damned - both superb 👌
Wow...Didn't the best ever ultimated forgotten Psych Album...HP LOVECRAFT'S 2ND ALBUM!! If ever there was an album to define a 60's Psychedelic album with beauty, it was that album. I'm surprised you never mentioned them....Have you ever heard it?? (And will you ever reply?) It's on UA-cam...Everyone is missing out on this great album from the past. Listen to it (and not the HP Lovecraft collection. HP LOVECRAFT II)
Cosmic vibes! Some superb suggestions here I’m a big psych fan but have to admit I hadn’t heard of most of these. A few recommendations: 1) Julian’s Treatment by Julian’s Treatment - a psych prog hybrid drenched in Hammond keyboards and based on a loose concept of a lost Atlantis like civilisation. 2) The Electric Banana 🍌 by The Electric Banana - AKA The Pretty Things who contributed to the cheesy Norman Wisdom swinging 60s flick “What’s good for the goose” - the music is typical library stock Muzak as released via the De Wolfe music library. 3) Anything on the Bam Caruso label is worth a punt. Compilations of obscure British psych was released through this label from the mid 80s under the Rubble series. I’ve got most of them - I really like the album covers with the inserts giving an overview of the bands where possible. A fun series to collect! 😎✌️
One of my favorites more obscure psychedelic albums ive come across recently is Plus - Seven deadly sins (1969). Gregorian chants to open a dark baroque pop psych album, doesn't get much better than that
Unkown and forgotten: German band Analogy with their s/t album from 1972 (its their only album). The magnificent title track "Analogy" from which the band took its name is one of the highlights of the musical genre called psychedelic. btw A certain part of later Analogy CD and LP were initially illegal. Musicians: Jutta Nienhaus (voc), Herman-Jürgen Nienhaus (dr), Wolfang Schoene (b), Martin Thurn (g, fl), Nikola Pankoff (key).
You had me at "psychedelic shag fest!" I really do love hearing about the connections between these forgotten bands to other more prominent aspects of rock history (Lennon/McCartney, AC/DC, 'Under The Boardwalk' and Sisters of Mercy!) Anyway this dirty bugger is off to find Brother Lou's Love Colony.
For those new to these sounds and enticed by them - be warned - once you go down this rabbit hole....1) you'll keep finding more and more....and more....and 2) you may never return.
One of the weirdest sounding Psychedelic Bubblegum songs was ‘Turn to Straw’(Ohio Express). * Do you know about ‘DOA’ (dead on arrival) from the Texas group ‘Bloodrock’?
A second look tells me that the cover of " Colors" lp (okie band) has a well known musician who went on to Gary Lewis/Playboys & then later Derek & Dominoes.........namely Carl Radle.
You forgot to mention that Joey Lavine being the lead voice on one off studio groups The Ohio Express ("Yummy Yummy Yummy"), and Reunion ("Life Is A Rock"}
Blue Cheer's "Vincebus Eruptum" and "Outside Inside" lps 1968 are the Psychedelic shit. How could you have missed these? They even had a hit single " Summertime Blues"
Heard of a couple of these, love this period. Makes me wonder if it were modern times with self publishing as it is. Then again I have to wonder if the horrible music industry acting as gatekeepers wasn’t a good thing. With promotion and marketing would the bands we love have ever been noticed in thousands of bandcamp also ranks?
My last psychedelic experience was in May 1995. I became convinced I'd killed a seal, panicked and buried it in the grave of my Uncle John who'd died a week earlier. Had I not been stopped by police, carrying a spade at 2am on the way to exhume the seal my life could have been very different.
Oh. So your the guy? I was the policeman and could never believe the charge was dropped. It was an iron-clad case, or so we thought. had to leave the force soon after. I just couldn't maintain the rage.
The Third Rail is psychedelic? You obviously have not taken the right drugs. granted you accent sounds English, and English osych was more pastoral than the US freak out over being drafted or shafted in the civil rights era, but most of these bands sound more like pop bands with psychedelic flourishes. And that is how they were reviewed. I owned most of these albums - emphasis on past tense, but they found their way to the used bins.
The Further Adventures of Charles Westover by Del Shannon is a very underrated and forgotten psychedelic album. He was more than Runaway.
@jongreen7858 Del Shannon is life!
It’s one album I’m looking for myself! I heard about it last year and I really like the sound of it. The previously unreleased record before is pretty cool too, but Further Adventures is my favourite!

I used to find some of this stuff in the bargain bins, back in the early '70s. Good times.
Chad and Jeremy's Of Cabbages and Kings (1967) is pretty obscure, and I'd argue it fits the psychedelic category. My favorite is Donovan's Gift from a Flower to a Garden.
both albums are on my mp3
Gift is a great album, I have just about every Donovan original albums.
Wow! Some obscure stuff there. Well researched! Took me back to the days when I swore I was a unicorn.
Thanks so much for video. I never heard of any of these bands, but after listening to these albums I've found new favs. Elephant Candy & Beautiful Sun are superb! I look forward to more suggestions.
I am guessing Love - Forever Changes maybe isn’t obscure enough? How about Kites are Fun by The Free Design.

A delightful list of records you introduce, I’ve heard none of them and only a few of the bands. Many of them sound like just my kind of psychedelia!
Don't forget the Seeds and the Electric Prunes lp Underground or the fever dream of the Bee Gees song Odessa
Fun fact: When I heard the phrase Federal Duck in this video, I knew I had read it somewhere before. Then I remembered - this was the band of American humorist Dave Barry, when he was in college!

And John Cippollina!
Actually "The Critters" had a Big Hit on WLS & WCFL Chicago with "Mr. Dieingly Sad" - a pop love song.
And also a cover of The Lovin' Spoonful's "Younger Girl".
There are many treasures here !
I loved this video. I was disappointed that Spirit's 12 Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus didn't come up, but also relieved that it's not "forgotten"! One of my personal faves.
Silver Apples, an NYC duo of the same era. I think they managed a second record by some miracle of finance.
Just listened to the Elephant Candy Album by The Fun and Games and enjoyed the Title track, Topanga Canyon Drive and Tuesday Tuesday. Great stuff.

I'm guessing that the Third Rail album is not named ID as in Identification. It's probably Id, as in Freud's name for the unconscious.
The members of The Third Rail would later go on to write for the Kazanetz-Katz Bubblegum music team. Joey Levine would also provide lead vocals to many of those bigger hits, including Yummy Yummy Yummy.

Barry, Spirit's The Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus is a classic that fits this category.
but I wouldn't class it as a 'forgotten' album.
Not a forgotten album, but tremendously underrated. I absolutely love it
@@classicalbum btw more "forgotten" is Julian' s Treatment - A Time Before This
I myself am rather fond of the Master's Apprentices psychedelic aussie record "Living In A Child's Dream" ! Please enjoy! 😹👁️🎱🌈
The Twilights Once Upon a Twilight would fit in well here too. As would the LaDeDas Happy Prince concept album.
Lothar and the Hand People, Indian Puddin and Pipe, Melvyn Q Watchpocket
I'm surprised you left out The Dukes of the Stratosphear's "25 O'clock" A very obscure psychedelic English band 🧐

On the famous "Nuggets" album.
Brilliant,as always
Critters 3rd LP (2nd on Project 3) is also great. NZ band Simple Image did an excellent version of Grooviest Girl in the World.
I would’ve put Traffic Sounds- Virgin and Pussy- Pussy Plays in there as well. But I’ve now got a load of new albums to listen to so thank you!
As a 60’s Psych fan this is an interesting list but calling it a top ten forgotten Psych albums is a stretch.
For those new to these sounds and enticed by them - be warned - once you go down this rabbit hole....1) you'll keep finding more and more....and more....and 2) you may never return.
One of the weirdest sounding Psychedelic Bubblegum songs was ‘Turn to Straw’(Ohio Express).
* Do you know about ‘DOA’ (dead on arrival) from the Texas group ‘Bloodrock’?
The Travel Agency....!!!
Still, sigh, no Fever Tree (1st album). You're just trying to make me subscribe before you'll listen to them aren't you . . ? Cheers!
Great fun!
The Group Image not forgotten/obscure enough for the list?
A second look tells me that the cover of " Colors" lp (okie band) has a well known musician who went on to Gary Lewis/Playboys & then later Derek & Dominoes.........namely Carl Radle.
Does that mean that the Moody Blues “In Search of the Lost Chord” has not been forgotten?
Not by me
Love you, cat.

You forgot to mention that Joey Lavine being the lead voice on one off studio groups The Ohio Express ("Yummy Yummy Yummy"), and Reunion ("Life Is A Rock"}
Blue Cheer's "Vincebus Eruptum" and "Outside Inside" lps
1968 are the Psychedelic shit. How could you have missed these?
They even had a hit single " Summertime Blues"
The Troll Animated Music sounds like Monty Python music.
"Satin City News" seems out of place on Troll's album. It rocks harder than the rest of the piffle therein.

And that is how they were reviewed. I owned most of these albums - emphasis on past tense, but they found their way to the used bins.
Great list!! I nominate Bubble Puppy ‒ A Gathering of Promises
A first-rate album
