@@RobertFithenThere’s so many . You could make a huge list of nothing but bands that just put out one phenomenal record and then just disappeared. Would have been great to be a teenager around ‘66-‘72.
Whoa, 3 minutes in I started wondering whether I was having a flashback! Nice touch with the effects. Mighty Baby sounds familiar, the name. But when you mentioned saxophone on the record, reminded me that Syd Barrett wrote some songs that included saxophone parts, but the other members of PF at the time said no to that idea. Barrett certainly would have heard Might Baby. And, of course, what do you find on a PF record three years later? Yeah, saxophone.
Illusion I like. I have all 3 albums and your right Robert, "Have you seen her eyes" is a killer tune. Love it... That Collectors album I never find here in Toronto and I been looking. My Chilliwack albums I turfed a long time ago. Cheers.
All three are great records, found them all in the 3 for a dollar bin back in the day. Best dollar I ever spent. I even picked up a reel to reel of together as a way of life.
So that's what it's like watching one of your videos while on LSD. Michigan psych rock band The Frost had a couple albums released in 1969. I remember listening to them in the Detroit area on stations like WABX and WKNR-FM. I don't know how popular they were in other areas.
You can do way more than two parts. Albums I own: Sam Gopal - Escalator Banchee - S/T Houston Fearless - S/T Velvet Fogg - S/T On my want list: Paper Garden - The Paper Garden Bent Wind - Essex Thinder and Roses - King of the Black Sunrise Hunger - Strictly From Hunger Coven - Witchcraft Destroys Minds & Reaps Souls Music Emporium - S/T Stone Circus - S/T Aorta - S/T Damon - Song of a Gypsy Ladies W.C. - S/T Mary Butterworth - S/T Magic - Magic Enclosed Maximillion - S/T (Re-released for last RSD) Alexander Spence - Oar The Litter - Emerge
Arzachel is really great!! A curious fact about this record is that they used pseudonyms. the guitarist behind it is Steve Hillage from Gong. The rest of the members later became the band EGG, namely Dave Stewart and Clive Brooks. I would also mention Mutantes' 69 album on this list, in memory of Rita Lee who passed away last month, one of the most important singers in Brazil. good recommendations, Robert
I don't know if there is another one, but there is a retirement community called Leisure World in Mesa, Arizona. My best friend was a nurse in a hospital right next door. I loved the hippy dippy trippy camera work. Far out.
I love psychedelic music it's my favorite music genre, thanks for posting you just enriched my knowledge of more music and I also dig the obscure stuff
Great selection Rob, Arzachel is one of my all-time favorite album speaking of late 60's pysh. PS I speak German, believe me it's better to not give to much care to the understanding of German songs' lyrics haha
Re : White Noise album : this wasn’t necessarily an album put out by an orthodox group , the female on the album was Delia Derbyshire who was a electronic pioneer employed by the BBC Workhouse , probably her most known work was the Dr. Who theme but without credits due to her only doing her job for the BBC at the time. There’s quite a few in depth documentary’s about her out there finally giving her the recognition of her pioneer status in early electronic music and tape trickery….she’s as suburban looking as you could possibly get. Most of the future electronic bands owe her a big debt of gratitude for their careers and they know it too. Regarding the album itself once upon a time it was a charity-shop , car-boot sale staple , even at 50p you just couldn’t give them away , now like a lot of these things it’s be reassessed in the market….. Do a search for Delia Derbyshire and it may give you an appreciation of her stature in Electrolia.
Just to mention, Joe Byrd originally came from the band, The United States of America. Also on Columbia. One of my top 10 desert island LP choices. The white label promo in mono will tear the paint off the walls!
There are so many underground psych bands from the mid/late 60s that every time you spotlight them there are bands I haven't heard of. Many to check out here. I'm a big fan of the United States of America album, so always meant to check out The American Metaphysical Circus.
Farewell Alderbaran by Judy Henske and Jerry Yester derserves a mention. Love the White Noise album. Certainly not for the laid back seekers of peaceful easy feelings, but all the more recommended for that! RIP Delia Derbyshire.
There's a Canadian one from 1969 called Nucleus. Only made the one s/t LP on the Mainstream label. With personnel changes, they became successful as A Foot In Coldwater.
I always thought a baker's dozen should be eleven, not thirteen. Makes sense to me, the baker ate one. Possessive, right? He has it, not you. Thirteen should be a customer's dozen. With that in mind, here's a customer's dozen of '69 albums that lovers of psychedelia might find interesting. Unlike donuts, these albums won't expand your waistline. But they might expand your mind. Dig in, and dig it! 1 - Flowers of Evil: Ruth White 2 - Touch: Morton Subotnick 3 - Contact: Silver Apples 4 - A Gift From Euphoria: Euphoria. Psychedelic orchestral country music. Ladies and gentlemen we are floating in cow pies. 5 - Farewell Aldebaran: Judy Henske and Jerry Yester. Starts with a rockin' "Snowblind." I guess they beat Sabbath to the spiked punch. 6 - Spleen: The Sound of Feeling. Two of the singers on this album, the twin sisters Alyce and Rhae Andrece, played androids on the "I, Mudd" episode of the original Star Trek series. You've never heard "Hurdy Gurdy Man" and "The Sound of Silence" like they do them. The album was released in '68 in Japan. The US release was in '69, for sticklers. 7 - Apryl Fool: Apryl Fool. Released in '69 in Japan, never officially released in the US. Haruomi Hosono of Yellow Magic Orchestra plays bass on this album. 8 - Canaxis 5: Technical Space Composer's Crew. Holger Czukay of Can composed this album. 9 - Illuminations: Buffy Sainte-Marie 10 - Oar: Skip Spence 11 - Seduction Through Witchcraft: Louise Huebner. Lots of useful information on this album. 12 - Chronophagie "The Time Eaters": Jacques Lasry. Science fiction authors Harlan Ellison and A.E. Van Vogt wrote a short story together called "The Human Operators." A note before the story states that you should listen to this album while reading the story. 13 - Joyride: Friendsound. This album has three former members of Paul Revere & the Raiders on it. It's a wild ride. Just remember: eleven if for baker, thirteen if for customer. I think Longfellow would've put it that way. Stay groovy. I think Claude Hooper Bukowski would've put it that way.
@@RobertFithen Sorry, I have to make a correction. It appears that The Sound of Feeling album was released in the US in Dec. of '68. Just missed being a '69 album.
Whoa I've never heard of any of these. Gonna be some good listening. Any strong recommendations to start I am open to listening Started going through some of these - the UK bands have similarities to Pink Floyd, I can see that if Pink Floyd didn't evolve they may have been forgotten too by 1970
Robert, could you name a list of the artists in the description of a video? It’ll help people who are not as good at English as native speakers to find bands described in the video)😊
All great picks Robert. The Illusion's song Run Run Run has a Blue Oyster Cult sound to it (at least to my ears) even though there was no B.O.C. in 1969. Both groups were from Long Island I believe. Another great 1969 obscure psychedelic classic from my neck of the woods would be Toronto area band The Plastic Cloud and their trippy fuzzed out self titled monster. Cheers.
Yes, The Plastic Cloud is great and very sought after. I saw a video a couple of years ago where someone was lucky enough to find an original for around $5. I didn't include them because it's from 1968.
Had a chance to pick up an original of Mighty Baby for $125 but that is still beyond the tolerance of my wallet! So a reish was my thing! That Joe Bird was one of the first psych LPs I ever picked up (as it was cheap) Interesting listen but not one I’d pull often. Love all the Illusion LPs! Great stuff and love Jeff Barry He was a huge part of the Bubblegum Rock movement! But yeah The Illusion LPs are more pop psych and 60’s rock but it does get thrown into the psych realm frequently! Love em! Have you seen her eyes! “What have you done with its eyes!!” Name that movie? The Collectors other album is a bit more psychy! But the one you showed again cuz it was cheap was one of my first psych records! I think that album was supposed to be for a soundtrack or something I could be wrong tho! Arzachel is amazing! I think they were the guys from The Egg and maybe Uriel too! There’s a guy named Dave Stewart that I thought was the guy from the Eurythmics (I was wrong) LoL! Gandalf is so good! Love their catchy hooky tunes! That’s a great listen! Phallus Dei! I remember that there’s a gal who watches your videos that claimed you have the Phallus of God LMFAO! Remember that? Sorry to remind you LoL! Dude your phasing out!! Great vid Mr Fithen! ✨✌️👽✨
"Rosemary's Baby". I just referenced a scene from that movie in my "Records in Bad Condition" video. It's the part with Guy walks all over the records. "He has his father's eyes". I had to look it up, too, when I found out about Dave Stewart.
Americans love fuzz, Brits put a LOT more into their psych. An Electric Storm is one of the best psych albums to come out of the `60's! The ONLY track I DIDN'T use on "The Enpsychlopedia" was "Firebird". The album is LOADED with all things psych (except mellotron and sitar). It was a VERY well put-together album and there was no goofing around at all! Joe Byrd was from the band, The United States Of America, which is a pretty highly respected psych band. "You Can Never Come Down" is a remake from the USA album. Ernie Anderson did a comedy album with Tim Conway in the `60's. Yeah, pretty much anything that came out in the late `60's is considered psych! Even country music! And, as I've said, Americans think that, all you need for psych is a fuzzy guitar and strange lyrics. Most of it is garage, not psych. Tim Hardin. Before they became, Gandalf, they did at least a couple singles on RCA Victor under the name, Barracuda. Very similar sounding stuff but not exactly a carbon copy of this style. So many priests ARE abusive of children!
Dude this is fantastic! I didn’t realize you had so many psychedelic LPs! I freaking love that CA Quintet and was lucky enuff to pick it up on first reissue! Man not sure why I don’t own that Lightning album but I will def make that correction! Holy shite! I think I’m having a flashback…again! Last time you did a psych vid I watched you were rolling around in your yard all strung out on LSD! LoL! I have a lot of these but that didn’t make this any less interesting! I’m halfway thru Head shop bookends the Beatles songsOpening & Closing tracks! I’ll come back and finish commenting! You’re cum growl was magnificent btw! LMFAO! ✨✌️👽✨
1969 was a great year.........but I never heard of any of these......Farm Living was the life for me! I was lucky to get Beatles,Stones from the Local Drugstore! I will be on the lookout for "Mighty Baby" Don't get me wrong I get the Visual but kinda stopped me from actually see the Album.
Here's a little background on Mighty Baby. This band formed from the ashes of The Action, great band managed by George Martin and signed to Parlophone. They had a minor hit called "Shadows and Reflections" and were adored by all the mod kids. Legend has it they were fired from their support spot with The Who because they often were better than them live! But Parlophone never supported them the way the supported The Beatles, and when their great lead singer, Reg King, left the band, they nearly broke up. But instead of that, they re-recruited their old keyboard player to come back and share vocal duties, changed their name to Mighty Baby, the rest, as they say, was (almost) history. George Martin himself said he could never understand why The Action were never as big as The Beatles.
Thanks! I had no idea about the George Martin connection. The only thing I really knew was the fact about the closing act on the first day of Isle of Wright.
BEFORE OR AFTER 1969? A. David Bowie's 1st Top 10 Album. B. The First Direct Drive Turntable C. Cheech & Chong's Favorite Substitute Teacher...Sister Mary Elephant. D.The Superhero TV Show Captain Nice E. The Soft Drink Dr. Pepper F. The first Korg Synthesizer G. The Rolling Stones First Album Without Brian Jones. H. Columbo TV Show I. The Movie Catch 22 (which became a phrase for a contradictory problem). J. The GI JOE Nurse Doll K. The First Chasing Christmas Lights L. Record Lps With Red Colored Vinyl M. The TV Show My Mother The Car. N. The Tragic Death Of H.P. Lovecraft O. The First Audiophile Label Lp P. Auto Reverse Cassette Decks Q. Barbed Wire Will give answers in this space.
I've seen "Catch 22" a couple of times. After years of trying to figure out the significance of the number 22, I just read last year that it had no significance and the book publisher randomly came up with it because it sounded good.
@@RobertFithen The things from the list which were from before 1969 were: D, E, I, J, L, M, N, O, Q. Dr.Pepper, the soft drink goes back even a little further than Coca Cola. Barbed wire goes back to the mid 1800s. H.P. Lovecraft (one of the best horror writers ever), whom a psychedelic rock group named themselves after, died in the 1940s. The GI JOE Nurse was several years before 1969. It's rare and has a value of $10,000. There was another GI Joe set much later (which had nothing to do with nurses), which they stopped production on for a while, and it got bids as high as $50,000 on ebay for a $41.99 toy. Then Hasbro started production again and it's value went from $50,000 down to $50. Reminds me of Living Stereo lps and their collapse in value back in the 1990s. Are they coming back any? There was an Audiophile label called "Audiophile" which released Jazz lps on red vinyl before and after stereo first came out. Captain Nice was a one season TV show. As I recall he was a mild mannered man until he popped what looked like a gum ball into his mouth and it transformed him into Captain Nice. It would have been interesting to see him in the ring going up against Bob Newhart. The first direct drive turntable was the Technics SP10 in 1970. The first cassette decks with auto reverse came out in the early 1970s. Columbo TV episodes started in 1972, but there were a few movies starring Peter Falk as Columbo before that. Cheech and Chong's favorite substitute teacher Sister Mary Elephant, was nicknamed that from her elephant sounding and elephant loud "Shut Up "when she screamed to get the classroom quieted down to hear her speak. Good video!
I’m always amazed at how many amazing obscure bands there were back then and yet everyone from that era listens to the same 3 bands over and over.
I'm always discovering more and more.
VC videos of someone showing new albums and it is just new albums by those same 3 bands. Also amazing.
@@RobertFithenThere’s so many . You could make a huge list of nothing but bands that just put out one phenomenal record and then just disappeared. Would have been great to be a teenager around ‘66-‘72.
The color changes on this video made me think I was having a stroke. Fortunately, this was not the case. It could have been though as I am old.
Whoa, 3 minutes in I started wondering whether I was having a flashback! Nice touch with the effects. Mighty Baby sounds familiar, the name. But when you mentioned saxophone on the record, reminded me that Syd Barrett wrote some songs that included saxophone parts, but the other members of PF at the time said no to that idea. Barrett certainly would have heard Might Baby. And, of course, what do you find on a PF record three years later? Yeah, saxophone.
That mighty baby debut was fantastic. I hadnt heard it before i watcged the vid
Glad I could introduce it to you.
Good to see you back.
Wow! Edibles kicked in right at the start of this. Perfect timing. 😂 Great video!
Illusion I like. I have all 3 albums and your right Robert, "Have you seen her eyes" is a killer tune. Love it... That Collectors album I never find here in Toronto and I been looking. My Chilliwack albums I turfed a long time ago. Cheers.
I'm actually getting the 2nd Illusion album today.
@@RobertFithen... Congrats... That one took me a long time to find up here.
All three Illusion albums are good.
@@vinylrichie007 I agree.
All three are great records, found them all in the 3 for a dollar bin back in the day. Best dollar I ever spent. I even picked up a reel to reel of together as a way of life.

I have "Rock And Roll Music". I thought it was more blues rock. I remember it being live, but I could be wrong.
@@RobertFithen Yea, they kinda straddled the line between psych and blues rock, especially in their live shows.

This was great Robert, but I think you gave me a flashback.🤣Can't wait for the next installment.
I picked up that Illusion Album at a Thrift Store for $1.
I don't know if there is another one, but there is a retirement community called Leisure World in Mesa, Arizona. My best friend was a nurse in a hospital right next door.

Thanks!! Glad I could contribute.
At 16:10: Definitely a lot of mis-labelling going on. There are a couple of Zappa albums that are categorized as "novelty act" on Discogs no less.
The camera affects are wild.
Great selection Rob, Arzachel is one of my all-time favorite album speaking of late 60's pysh. PS I speak German, believe me it's better to not give to much care to the understanding of German songs' lyrics haha

Thanks for the info.
Awesome stuff! Ill be listening to Psychedelic rock all day tomorrow. The effects were spot on!! 🎶☮️🎶

So many great albums in 1969! My particular favorite being The Gods - To Samuel a Son
Thanks for the tip.
Is that THE Road Runner image on the cover of Mighty Baby ?
I'm not sure what that is.
I love this video! Have you ever checked out Ya Ho Wha 13? Literal cult band with weird jams.
I will now. Thanks!
Farewell Alderbaran by Judy Henske and Jerry Yester derserves a mention. Love the White Noise album. Certainly not for the laid back seekers of peaceful easy feelings, but all the more recommended for that! RIP Delia Derbyshire.

In case you didn't know, Delia Derbyshire created the Doctor Who theme. @@RobertFithen
Who needs drugs with a video like this?
There's a Canadian one from 1969 called Nucleus. Only made the one s/t LP on the Mainstream label. With personnel changes, they became successful as A Foot In Coldwater.
Thanks! I will check it out.
Arzachel from England had Steve Hillage on guitar and Dave Stewart from Egg and Khan on Keyboards.
I'm gonna check these out. Wish we could hear bits of them. We're probably gonna disagree about Brian Wilson.

I would say Mighty Baby if you want more structured songs. Arzachel is you want something more far out. Gandalf is you're looking for mellow.
Hilarious, I’m having a flash back on the video. Gotta go wipe my ear off 😂
Joe Byrd and the Field Hippies is high on my list of psych albums I wznt.

George Martin himself said he could never understand why The Action were never as big as The Beatles.
Thanks! I had no idea about the George Martin connection. The only thing I really knew was the fact about the closing act on the first day of Isle of Wright.
It was a bit disturbing watching you show the Joe Byrd album.
Lol why is that?

Mighty Baby is great
It's really too bad they didn't get more attention.
отличный оратор! о чём говорит не знаю.
Great visual effects reminds me of where my head was at the first time I listened to Black Sabbath's first album when it was released in 1970 I think.
I love when everything in the video is green, pink, and blue.

Will give answers in this space.
I've seen "Catch 22" a couple of times. After years of trying to figure out the significance of the number 22, I just read last year that it had no significance and the book publisher randomly came up with it because it sounded good.
@@RobertFithen The things from the list which were from before 1969 were: D, E, I, J, L, M, N, O, Q.
Dr.Pepper, the soft drink goes back even a little further than Coca Cola. Barbed wire goes back to the mid 1800s. H.P. Lovecraft (one of the best horror writers ever), whom a psychedelic rock group named themselves after, died in the 1940s. The GI JOE Nurse was several years before 1969. It's rare and has a value of $10,000. There was another GI Joe set much later (which had nothing to do with nurses), which they stopped production on for a while, and it got bids as high as $50,000 on ebay for a $41.99 toy. Then Hasbro started production again and it's value went from $50,000 down to $50. Reminds me of Living Stereo lps and their collapse in value back in the 1990s. Are they coming back any?
There was an Audiophile label called "Audiophile" which released Jazz lps on red vinyl before and after stereo first came out. Captain Nice was a one season TV show. As I recall he was a mild mannered man until he popped what looked like a gum ball into his mouth and it transformed him into Captain Nice. It would have been interesting to see him in the ring going up against Bob Newhart.
The first direct drive turntable was the Technics SP10 in 1970. The first cassette decks with auto reverse came out in the early 1970s. Columbo TV episodes started in 1972, but there were a few movies starring Peter Falk as Columbo before that. Cheech and Chong's favorite substitute teacher Sister Mary Elephant, was nicknamed that from her elephant sounding and elephant loud "Shut Up "when she screamed to get the classroom quieted down to hear her speak.
Good video!
ZOWIE!
