Bulldog Breed!

Bulldog Breed- Made In England 1969

Named after a Norman Wisdom (British comdedian) film, Bulldog Breed recorded Made In England in two weeks. However, the music made did not prove popular of the moment. The album sold very poorly, they were considered too Mod-pop for late 60's even though you will know this isn't true by listening to it. The line-up was constantly changing, and with side projects going on, it wasn't long the band just became a thing of the past. It's a great mix of Heavy Psych rock, raw guitars, soft melodies and does contain traces of moddish freakbeat, though does keep with the scene in that the album contains a few whymsical songs, full of English charm (Dougal is a great example).

So give it a listen and see what you think...

The Electric Banana!

The Electric Banana- Blows Your Mind

The Electric Banana, a side project by ultimate psychedelic group The Pretty Things. This is an excellent record with a real Pretty Things sound to it, it's an excellent listen. Usual grinding guitar solo's with mini freakouts. There's quite a raw sound to it, that only adds to the music. They also cover their own classic S.F. Sorrow song "I See You" and it's as impressive as ever!

Very Psychedelic, Very Pretties, Very Good!

Enjoy listening to it!

Lazy Smoke!

Lazy Smoke- Corridor Of Faces 1969

Massachusetts band, Lazy Smoke, this album is highly sought after, and original LP pressings go for over $1,500. Recorded in the summer of '68, it's pop-psych with what I would call quite a UK influence, though not abandoning the American Psych either, it's soft at times just as it is rock, some great music all round. The production quality is fairly poor in the sense that the sound quality isn't great, but if, like me, you love this album, it won’t matter at all. Some people absolutely love the band, and some feel that they were far over-rated, but at the end of that day it's what you decide that counts, so feel free to give it a listen! I highly recommend this album.

I’ve included as a separate download the unplugged demo's recorded by lead member John Pollano in late '67. So if you like the album, it might be a nice thing to get that too.

Enjoy..

Pink Floyd!

Pink Floyd- Early Singles (Compilation)

This CD was included in the 1992 Floyd box set "Shine On". It just really contains their early singles and b-sides. 10 tracks, all of which are very good, I think the writing on "It would be so nice" are a bit amateur at times, but I love it all the same! In honesty most of you will probably already have this, or atleast some of the tracks, but for those who don't this is a real good'un!

I hope you enjoy!

Blonde On Blonde...

Blonde On Blonde- Contrasts 1969

A great guitar led psychedelic album, with hints of folk ever present, by great band Blonde On Blonde. They have a great variety of genres and instruments in their songs, and it was reported to have sold 100,000 copies world wide, despite this and playing with many great bands, they never made it. Some songs are slightly below par, but they have a great deal of good songs which makes this a great addition to any collection, they also covered ISB's No Sleep Blues and The Beatles' Eleanor Rigby, both are great covers where they have actually changed the whole song unlike a lot of covers where they use the same music and all (always wondered why bands did this!). Also included are both sides of their single All Day, All Night b/w Country Life (although I must appologise, the single tracks have been swapped round, so you will need to just change All Day... to Country Life and vice versa, thanks!)

Now Enjoy Blonde On Blonde...!

The End!

The End- Introspection 1969

First rate Psychedelia by UK group The End, another sad case of an album's release date being delayed further and further to the point where the main Psych rush was long gone. Produced personally by Rolling Stone Bill Wyman, this album is a great ambassador for a great time. Each song is packed full of Psychedelic sounds and English charm, There are a few tracks (Bromley Common, Linen Draper and Jacob's Bladder) which contain Bill Wyman's gardener; George Kenset telling certain small stories of his life, which certainly add a strange comical feature to the album.




1. Dreamworld
2. Under The Rainbow
3. Shades Of Orange
4. Bramley Common
5. Cardboard Watch
6. Introspection (Part 1)
7. What Does It Feel Like
8. Linen Draper
9. Don't Take Me
10. Loving, Sacred Loving
11. She Said Yeah
12. Jacob's Bladder
13. Introspection (Part 2)

My favourites: Under The Rainbow, Cardboard Watch, What Does It Feel Like (one of my all time favourites) and Don't Take Me.

The Incredible String Band!

The Incredible String Band- The 5000 Spirits Or The Layers Of The Onion 1967




Excellent album by legendary band Incredible String Band. This the second album, released in 1967 contains a wide variety of instruments and has the whymsical imaginative songs that the British music scene were famous for during the late 60's. They have a song about a Cloud who's sad because he's the only cloud in the sky who can't cry and they have a song about a Hedgehog who wont leave him alone because he doesn't know all the words to a song! It really is one of the most imaginative albums of 1967, which is no east accomplishment, it wasn't till after this album that ISB started getting into 14 minute songs, like on the excellent follow up "The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter". I highly reccomend this album to anyone, it atleast deserves a listen! I hope you enjoy!

1. Chinese White
2. No Sleep Blues
3. Painting Box
4. The Mad Hatter's Song
5. Little Cloud
6. The Eyes Of Fate

11. My Name Is Death

13. Way Back In The 1960's

My favourites are: Painting Box, Little Cloud, The Hedgehog's Song, First Girl I Loved, Gently Tender.

Please Listen To The Pictures!

Kaleidoscope/ Fairfield Parlour- Please Listen To The Pictures 1967-71

Live songs from Kaleidoscope and their follow up band Fairfield Parlour recorded at a variety of different times and on shows such as "Top of the pops" and "Top gear". A couple of songs are quite poor quality but almost all are excellent! If you haven't heard this already and are a fan of the UK Kaleidoscope or Fairfield Parlour, you have to get it and enjoy! I'm guessing it must be limited edition, because mine has the a number on it... 0317!

July!

July!

Well what to say! An incredible band who dominated the UK acid-drenched Psychedelic scene! Here is their incredible self titled album, one of my all time favourite psych albums, may take some people a couple of listens, but once you get there, it's great! Also included are the A and B side of their Single. The B-Side; "The Way" is a much heavier acid soaked version of the album version, and in my opinion, it is far superior, but you be the judge!

Also is included is their unreleased album "The 2nd Of July". Not as such an unreleased album but more alternate versions and outtakes from their sessions for July-July, both were recorded in 1967. Definately a good addition for fans of the s/t album!

Enjoy...

12. Felix
13. Goodbye


An incredible album by this group from Nothern Ireland. It didn't do well commercially, which was something of no interest to Andwella's Dream, you could say they were one of the few bands who really did mean it when they said it wasn't about the money.

This album holds all the keys to a psychedelic album, pushing their instruments to limits! Lovely mixture of melody and psych-rock. Great solo's weather it's on the guitar or organ! Some blues is mixed it, but discretely and only works to flatter the great psychedelia thats pushed out! Really is an excellent album! If you haven't got it.. what are you waiting for!

My favourites: The Days Grew Longer For Love, Man Without A Name, Shades Of Gray, High On A Mountain and Andwella

Forest

Forest- Full Circle 1970

2. Bluebell Dance
3. The Midnight Hanging Of A Runaway Serf
4. To Julie
5. Gypsy Girl & Rambleaway
6. Do Not Walk In The Rain
7. Much Ado About Nothing
8. Graveyard
9. Famine Song
10. Autumn Childhood

What to say... one of the best Acid-Folk albums ever made! This is something all fans of Acid-Folk will love, it's so creative, mysterious and full of charm.

The second album from Lincolnshire group Forest. I only found out about Forest around 6 months ago after talking to original member Martin Welham about his new band "The Story" (good album I may post it soon) and I haven't looked back since. Incidently if this album proves popular I'll upload their debut too.

This record has everything you could hope to hear in an album, which includes an array of instruments from the 3 members. I really cannot recommend it anymore, it has to be part of every collection! Give it a few listens and I'm sure you'll love it!

Favourites: The Midnight Hanging Of A Runaway Serf, Gypsy Girl & Rambleaway, Do Not Walk In The Rain and Graveyard!

Bonus Tracks

12. Claramount Lake
13. Real Life Permanent Dream (Alternate Version)
14. Why
15. Revolution (Phased)
16. Now Your Time Has Come (Different Song)

Keith West, Steve Howe, Junior Wood and Twink. A great line-up of musicians and together they made one of the best psychedelic albums of the 60's. Not really a rare album to find, but it certainly needs to be in every psych collection!

One of the best bands to never make it, they recorded an incredibly album, that got delayed and released once the main buzz of the new psych period was over. This album failed to make an impact on the charts.

The album perfectly sums up the British psychedelic movement, from the whymsical tales such as "Colonel Brown" and "Auntie Mary's Dress Shop" to acid driven songs which include psych classics "My White Bicycle" and "Revolution" .

Also included here are bonus tracks, "Claramount Lake"- John Lennon's favourite Tomorrow track, A rawer version of "Real Life Permanent Dream", A guitar driven cover of The Byrds "Why", the phased mono version of "Revolution" and "Now Your Time Has Come" which is actually a completely different song to the "Now Your Time Has Come" included on the original LP.

First psych album I ever really loved, recommended to all, if you don't already have it!

Billy Nicholls

Billy Nicholls- Would You Believe 1968



1. Would You Believe
2. Come Again
3. Life Is Short
4. Feeling Easy
5. Daytime Girl
6. Daytime Girl (2)
7. London Social Degree
8. Portobello Road
9. Question Mark
10. Being Happy
11. Girl From New York
12. It Brings Me Down


Very rare album, I think if you have a first pressing LP you have the potential to be a very rich person! Excellent album, pop-psych, some dreamy songs, and some acid fuzzed guitar courtesy of The Small Faces' Steve Marriott on "Girl From New York". The first track "Would You Believe" was quite a strange choice for an album opener as in terms of sound and vocals it is very different to the rest of the album.

Download it, you won't regret it! You don't even have anything to lose... it's free!

I'd recommend Feeling Easy, London Social Degree (thought to mean L.S.D.) and Girl From New York.
