I'm talking the UK masters of psychedelia...not where your head is....
with only one album in 1969, they still have proven a highly influential band in the psych rock genre. Not known at all over here in their day ...or since actually except by musicians who love their mind blowing musical output...slim as it is.

A great vinyl/CD reissue of their recorded greats is available....the vinyl is beautiful, if you can get it, but the CD is very nice too!!

Thanks for posting those. I had never even heard of them. Not bad for a band that released their first (and only) album in 1969, a very sketchy year for music.

They had been around for years and were well known as a psych unit...when some members tried go the usual jazz/prog route in the 70's they failed as they were too well known for their psych chops.
