Interstellar Overdrive

I can play Arnold Lane, organ bits transposed for guitar, it's a great song.

Washing line clothes thief, it's brilliant!

" Moonshine washing lines, they suit him fine"

"Door slams chain gang"

Arnold Lane paid his debt to society!

'see Emily play' is my second fav'.

Too much acid for poor Syd. He either did way too much, or he couldn't handle it. It is NOT for the faint-hearted.

Any collection of 60’s psychedelia has to include Lothar and the Hand People! *

Bill, tgo

* the first group to use a Theremin. They named it “Lothar”

Good one. I actually saw them, 1967 in Greenwich Village NYC.

I think he had underlying mental health issues, LSD is temporary insanity/truth

So much great music from that time, but when I was tripping I really loved chilling out and listening to the *****es Brew album(all 4 sides) by Miles Davis it still one of my favourite listening experiences to this day. Just to add to that I'm surprised no one has mentioned the master and his brilliant Electric Ladyland recording, the moon turns the tides, voodoo child!

Coincidentally, I’ve been listening to *****es (female dogs) Brew lately. I never thought of jazz as being psychedelic, but I guess it could be.

Crimson & Clover by Tommy James and the Shondells. Hendrix's version of the Star Spangled Banner sounds like WWIII at the end.

 

[Bowmap]

Crimson & Clover by Tommy James and the Shondells.

I heard that a few hours ago while out doing errands.

5D (Fifth Dimension)- The Byrds
She Said, She Said-The Beatles

 

[The Strat Dude]

 

[hornpiper]

Dude, that's hilarious!

 

[Oldboy]

One of the great San Francisco bands of the era, self destroyed too soon by drugs and madness.

I like rock with my psychedelics, and surprised no one mentioned this yet, I mean it is called flying after all:

 

[Lost Sailor]

Haven't seen this one......

I'm giving thumbs-up and love responses to nine out of ten postings here because "psychedelic" music was an entire genre once upon a time. I have an entire collection of vinyl LPs that fit the category (btw, thank you for including the Buffy St.-Marie "God Is Alive Magic Is Afoot" - that song alone made me buy her album!).

Here's a rarity: J. K. & Co.'s Suddenly One Summer. Released in 1969, J. K. is Jay (Jaye) Kaye, son of the legendary Mary Kaye, for whom a Stratocaster is named. Only 15 years old when this album was produced, AllMusic's Richie Unterberger says it "sounds like the solo album that George Harrison might have made before he left the Beatles."

This is one of my favorites.

Never heard this, awesome!

 

[BuckNekkid]

Frankly amazed to see this! Skunk Baxter!

WHAT?!??

You made me pull out my copy to check, since this statement amazed me. And you are correct -- partially. Jeff Baxter appeared on the THIRD Ultimate Spinach album. The original lineup on this album/track was Ian Bruce-Douglas, Barbara Hudson, Keith Lahteinen, Richard Nese and Geoffrey Winthrop.

I remember being in high school and having a paper route that I had to get up every morning at 2:00am to make my deliveries, and carrying with me a portable AM transistor radio. In the middle of the night, AM "skip" let me tune into WBZ in Boston, where the late night DJ was Dick Summer, whose mix of humor and the "BOSStown sound" entertained me with the likes of Ultimate Spinach, The Bickersons (Don Ameche and Francis Langford) and his take on history, with the "Shrewsbury" rather than the Sandwich.

Brainticket!

You're spot on.

I always associated it with the 66-71 Time Period but the "Out there" music spans all time--There is stuff from Mozart that qualifies.
