- A superb track that is very hard to put in a certain genre as it has a lot of ingredients. Punky beat, heavy psych influences and a stunning organ break that sounds more 66-67, than 1971. This is a 33rpm single from Wales and this track was compiled on the LP only compilation "owski-urities".
If you collect this kind of stuff on 45 - drop me a line as I quite often have similar records or spares for trade etc... If you played in the band or know a band member - please let me know. If you have the record at home and it's nothing you need to keep - please let me know. Thanks!
All soundfiles are taken from the record depicted.
Enjoy!

Finally getting a proper group-supported release through Hyperloop Records. Issued with a PS. Keep yer eyes peeled.
Dear Oscar I can not thank you enough for posting this, this had led to a real detective mission and thanks to you this is now a little more widely available for everyone.I still find it hard to believe that I posted a comment over 2 years ago asking if this had been re issued .Well it is now available and I can say it sounds amazing. Thank you Oscar. Glyn Hyperloop Records
It’s taken years to get a copy and I finally have one from one Welsh boy to four others thanks for your music
Congratulations! Not an easy one to track down!
Got to know a guy who used to be in a band in the sixties they played along side the action eyes of blue blonde on blonde and many others and he has sold his record collection to me some rare stuff but they have all gone to a good home I will keep them safe until it’s my time to pass them on for others to enjoy
Sounds intriguing! Any other obscure private pressings or small label obscurities?
A few lots of Welsh psych meic stevens eyes of blue , strawberry dust few prom stuff haven’t gone through it all yet because Iv moved house and stuff is till in boxes was a promo Deep Purple HUSH 7” which is nice not rare but rare promo copy plus over hundred lps , JULY , all the usual suspects but all psych mody stuff . I DJ and can’t wait to start playing my new stuff, if you ever come across a copy of THE BASKET FACES AROUND give me a shout
Wow! Send me a message through FB messenger or Instagram if you can. Oscar Richt / therealoscarowski
This song is absolutely wonderful. You'll never know if Psychedelic Music will make a comeback one day. Perhaps it might be taken into another level, making its comeback in the 2060's. I don't know if I'll be around then but I was content living through the 1960's. Because Psychedelic Music will always explore other dimensions as well as the consciousness of the mind.
There's always some young band today doing it. last big comeback was 1993.

I'm not bothered about classifying music (I appreciate what oscarowski says about making it easier for anyone who might be interested to find about records by using phrases like "mod psych")...all I know is that I love this record so much. I know someone who has an original; when he played it out, the hair on my neck stood up. vivalajoshiles88, please thank your uncle for me; he and his friends made one of the greatest records I've ever heard.
Very catchy. sound's more like 1967 rather than 71.
Excellent tight musicians - the Hammond sound gets inside the groove and definitely grabs your interest with that sharp solo then quickly steps out again with the rest of the boys
Sounds like a Rod Argent clone on organ-totally groovy. great track. Excellent audio quality.
Great psychedelic song and group from Wales!!!! I love this. Super organ soloing with harmonizing vocals!!! Thanks for sharing this great song!!!!
Ooh yes, nice!
I literally started surfing on a tree with saw in hand while pruning it when someone played this song on an independent radio and am so glad that I could find it hear.
Great song, I love the guitar riffs.
Great!
Great tunes on your channel oscarowski.
Times like these.. I sung melodieus.. when I was just one year old, I remember from the very first moment of Awakening, the lives behind me were dead, yet they lived in me, from birth to conception.... a Sequence of Constructs trying to Calculate the Sorcerers Ascendant's Codex of Pandora....
I guess Meridon you love this as much as I do ?
@@hyperlooprecords1609 I don't know, yet it sure be nice to talk with ya! :)
1967 happened in Wales 4 years late.
The best Hawkwind song not written by Hawkwind??? Seriously why did this not get into the top ten back in the day? And why hasn't (to my knowledge) this been used in a film or television show? Many thanks
Thanks for uploading all these gems!!
Been discovering a lot of stunning sounds here for a long time.
Yes definitely, Oscarowski :) Free line freak out !!
Great song.
Luv
Wasn't impressed till 2:18 the organ solo Made me stop what I was doing and damn wish I could see that live. love the organ on the outro too
The keyboard on that song was truly amazing. Something that you don't hear in today's music. Hippie and Long-haired groups were truly amazing Cos they were Groovy and totally Far-Out.
Nice organ Great :) Rare :)
Wowv❤❤❤❤
Lovely! Thanks.
Cool freakbeat sound with groovy organ and good vocals.
Great track, the first 40 seconds reminded me of Billy synth and the Turn ups
that whole track was tight as hell
I'm glad TH-cam Autoplay brought me here!
Thanks... Oscarowski... Owski-urities... ;=)
great welch psych does sound more 60s than early 70s
perfect !
I am told my Dd wrote this... David Wood!
Hi Leonardo, Wonderful - do you know if he/they recorded anything else during the late 60's to late 70's ? I suppose he played in the band Sunshine Theatre(?).
Hey Leonardo, do you have an email I can contact? In regards to getting your Dads music out on my new label. It's an amazing 45 & more people need to hear it! Best Paul paul.orwell@btinternet.com
Frickin' killer ! Love it !
Sounds like The Who and The Doors combined
This is my uncles band
+vivalajoshiles88 hi I'd like to reissue this,no big money in it,but please get in contact with yer uncle,or pass his email,thanx!
+theefishlippedone Were you thinking a 45 or on LP?
+oscarowski as a 45
theefishlippedone great! Good luck and hope you'll get it done. What label?
are they still going mate? this hand in heart, is one of my favourite songs of all time. discovered it in 2014.
I love this song, especially when you've got a prototype-punk guitar riff that sounds like Sonic Reducer. If this was harder, faster, heavier, I could easily see this being a song by The Damned about seven or eight years later.
As for the mod label, I'd call it proto-punk or post-mod. Mods by 1967 were evolving into skinheads, the northern soul scene, or were becoming hippies. Most settled down, married and already had kids by 1971.
WOW!
cool
When they first start singing and up to "I like to look at the mountain" it a copy of The Byrds "Three Miles High." Still, it's extremely nice.
Not at all...
You mean of course 8 miles high
unique
Very good tune , thanx for posting.
BRUTAL
Nice keyboards performance
This is it.
Great sound, dumb question.
It's a pile of rocks with soil and trees on top. What's to look at?
This is HOT !!
This is great ..did the request for a re issue get any further?
Wow
Great, isn't it! Not sure if you only want an original press but you can get it on this comp as well... Owski-Urities LP (Spain 2010)
I collect this kind of stuff on 45, not all of it but some. How to drop you a line?
Meat Puppets vibe.
Out of place in 71
mod was already dead in the water by 1967 in 1971 it was absolutely dead....
where can i get this on cd
A 33rpm 7" single?
is that label for real?
Yes - it’s real:). In certain countries (mainly Brazil and Argentina) 33rpm was standard for 7-inches. In other countries they sometimes made 33rpm 7-inches to prolong the groove time, but the standard was 45rpm, just like you’re used to seeing them.
Jon Lord's little brother?
it's fine but what has it got to do with mod?Mod in 1971??
albert guder I think it's more to do with the search engine optimisation, more than anything. I'd even say some aspects of the song are almost prototype-punk, such as the guitar riffs.
Oscarowski...How can I contact you?
Killer organ! Who's playing? Don Shinn???
Dave Wood is the Hammond Player he also wrote the song and the b side "I Want"
@@hyperlooprecords1609: Thanks! Definitely a mid-late 60s throwback for '71, but still cool. What became of Dave Wood after this? I'm surprised he didn't end up playing with Arthur Brown at some point.
great track. = alex.ukraine.
No their not going anymore sorry to say
sounds like the eraserheads wth
no it sounds 71- 73
this is what is wrong with 'record dollectors' like you-know-who: '... A superb track that is very hard to put in a certain genre as it has a lot of ingredients ...' - i mean, what is wrong with this kind of pigeon-holing bullshit ? -- music should not be here for 'putting in a certain genre' - that's not why music is created is it ? to be 'put' in a 'catagory' - is music or recordings created to be 'put' in a box ?... the only possible reason for that is in a used record store and even that is degrading for 'customer's convenience' - sick of record dollectors and their dumb-assed 'genres' - it's a true nitemare and it trivializes everything about music and the people who create -- the most interesting thing about this great record is it's from wales and that it is an early iggy/stooges 'search and destroy' sound-a-like .... why not try putting it into that 'genre' LMFAO
Hi Jeff!
Hope you’re well! Appreciate all the great music you’ve not just created, but often crafted to perfection.
I sort of agree with you, but it does get a bit difficult to take in when you get personal and start spewing vitriol.
You’re one of the smartest guys out there - I really mean that. You might not remember, but we used to keep in touch on FB ages ago and it’s some of the most fun discussing I’ve had. If you’d only stick to substance, instead of trolling, you would get so much more of your message through.
Love,
Oscar
forgot to add - glad you liked the track Jeff! Drop me a line through FB Messenger sometime - it would be nice to catch up:)
mod in 1971 and why mod psych ?since when do narrowminded ness and mind expanding drugs mix?yes you are obviously a Paul Weller fan,and think the 60's was all mod mod mod mod mod mod that is what the world now falsely thinks sad really
Dear Allan, Thank you for your point of view. It's actually more about search-phrases so that people interested in this kind of sound find it easier, rather than me labelling it as such-and-such believing I'm some kind of guru. I didn't mean to upset you. In any case I find you a bit offensive - especially the part about me being a Paul Weller fan... absolutely not!;) Have a good day sir and take it easy on the coffe.
the majority of self declared mods I have met over the years are total Weller obsessives...so i do apologise I just hate it when people who werent there have to rewrite history and the whole mod angle reall;y makes it look as if psychedelia had been just another trend yes to a lot of people it was,but even today we need to open our minds there is more than some stupid categories and artifice to life.As a musician myself i always say to others Let the music speak itself,bands in the 60's and 70's rehearsed and worked very hard on their craft.not like today where coldplay and u2 are regarded as demi gods even though they are just about mediocre
oscarowski thanks for posting .Too many people get their knickers in a twist over labelling and genres when they should just STFU and listen.
allan gudge I wholeheartedly agree with you on Coldplay, who are mediocre. I don't get why they're treated as musical and cultural demigods when they're more like a band you find in a shit student union gig.
Too true William.
