Much has been written about this BEYOND LEGENDARY BAND from Houston, Texas. In a nutshell, they were the first to call themselves "psychedelic". And psychedelic they were. Great guitar work by Stacy Sutherland and the unmistakable voice of Roky Erikson. They also had this weird strange sound permeating every song in the form of a "jug bottle"....Tommy Hall doing the honors. They played a number of times in San Francisco and brought much attention to the unknown music scene in Texas. All the lyrics were poetic and actually had meaning and purpose. They could have been legends in their own time if it weren't for their promoter, who wanted to keep this "mysterious aura" about them and keep them from the media. The other thing going against them is that they were heavily into "LSD" and were constantly harassed by the police. Stacy wound up in prison on a bust....Roky also would have gone down, but he chose to plead insanity, stating in court that he was a "Martian". This backfired as he thought he could easily beat the rap, but it took a long time to convince the doctors (and lawyers) and his brothers commitment to get his release. All of this, of course, helped to the bands demise. They only recorded two full albums "Psychedelic Sounds..." and "Easter Everywhere". The "Live" album was studio stuff (albeit some out takes) with "canned" applause. "Bull Of The Woods" was an unfinished album, some songs with different members. Anyway...high caliber psychedelic music and very much recommended.
The penultimate recording. This second album by the band is an original pressing and has been played maybe 5 times. I ordered it direct from International Artists back in 1968 and put it under wraps until now. A perfect copy in everyway. Cover is flawless and the Record plays perfectly. It includes the original lyric sheet insert.
