It's available again on CD coupled with the 1965 Singer Songwriter Project album - David Cohen/Blue, Richard Farina, Patrick Sky and Bruce Murdoch - which is another essential 60s disc.
Don't you love this board - finally somewhere where hippies of all ages can discuss the fine music of the past! |

| I love the Great Society. Someone lent me one of their records when I was little, and I loved the song Father Bruce (didn't know what it was about, just loved the beat) and I just recently picked it up. But here's a cool record for psych music...Naz Nomad and the Nightmares. (It's really the Damned under that name). And they play all kinds of great psych tunes, such as I had too much to dream last night, etc. I recommend it if you can find it. |

| Thanks for that Naz Nomad and the Nightmares, had never heard of it, is available new at mid price and plenty cheap used copies and good reviews up at amazon.co.uk. I like the album title too- Give Daddy the Knife, Cindy. |

Agreed. Haven't heard the CD's, but I chanced to catch 'em live in Austin at Emo's (what a dive!) the night after Roky gigged the festival. They took no prisoners. Found out it's pronounced "dun-yen", and means something like 'copse of young trees'. But those cats from Sweden know what the hell they're doing, it ain't no joke...

i had a look at their website and then listened to some clips on amazon and have now ordered 'Ta Det Lugnt' because it sounds fantastic. 'Panda' and 'Du E For Fin For Mig' were the stand-out songs for me but i cant wait to discover the rest of the album. Are any of the earlier albums worth getting? Cheers for the recommendation!! -john-
This is the time and this is the time and it is time, time, time, time, time, time, time.....

| I don't think anyone has mentioned The Collectors, a band from British Columbia that put out two albums on Warner Bros. and several singles between 1967-69. They were produced by Dave Hassinger who engineered Love's Da Capo. The first Collectors album follows a similar format to Da Capo with five fairly short songs on side one and a 20 minute Doors influenced epic on side two featuring some amazing vocal harmonies and one of the greatest sax solos ever recorded. Members of The Collectors did much of the vocal work on The Electric Prunes Mass in F Minor also produced by Hassinger. Hassinger engineered or produced many other rock classics such as The Stones' Out of Heads (which includes "Satisfaction") and Aftermath (with the 10 minute "Goin' Home" allegedly inspired by Love's "Revelation"), Jefferson Airplane's Surrealistic Pillow, The Grateful Dead's first album, most Electric Prunes, and Sweetwater. |

Ryan, re: the Collectors, I did some poking around, and they appear really cool. But scarce, and EXPENSIVE! Thanks for the tip..

Hi Allan - I guess that like many of the folk of a certain vintage who visit these boards after turning on to the first two Love & Doors albums I realized that Elektra(along with ESP),was the coolest label on the planet at the time.I think I checked out just about every album on their catalogue....including the turkey's(David Peel & the Lower East Side anyone?).Earth Opera featured the Rowan brothers,of whom Peter Rowan has gone on to be one of the finest Country/Rock artists around....and the writer of 'Panama Red'(a New Riders classic).He also is a fine exponent of that great western tradition.....the Cowboy Yodel!Perhaps his finest hour is to be found on the classic 'Old & In the Way' album with a fantastic line-up which includes Peter,David Grisman(the Mandolin maestro),ol'Cap'n Trips himself,Jerry Garcia on Banjo(RIP),and the recently departed Vassar Clements on fiddle...all cooking up a storm at a live gig in SF.With Vassars passing this album has been a semi-permanent feature on the record deck in this household just recently.However,to get back on thread.....me thinks that every psychedelic cabin in the sky should have a copy of Jerry Garcia's first solo album 'Garcia'.Ol' Jerry certainly knew how to take his passengers on a magical mystery tour,and this one is a definitely recommended for the Bean-Bag & Head-phone voyagers....Carlos Casteneda move over!
Oldfartatplay, Allan, bob f., et al, thanks for a great suggestion with Earth Opera. I just received a slab-o-wax of it the other day, and y'all are right! Great stuff. I had not heard of it before. I had discovered Rowan (though still only slightly) about 2 years ago, saw him do a big gig in Norfolk with Grisman, Jorma K, and Sam Bush--each of those four with their own groups. Peter had Tony Rice backing him in his group, I've been a big TR fan for years. Psychedelic Bluegrass if there ever was such a thing. Ever since then I'd been planning to check into more Rowan stuff. Cheers, stay fuzzed,

ESP was cool. The only groups I remember from it now are the Fugs and the Godz (were the Holy Modal Rounders?). The Godz made a monumental impression on me (as in like, a huge monument FELL on me, and left a big mark) at about 16 in the wee '80s, when I excavated it from a dusty old store with creaky uneven floorboards. The Godz 2 it was. "Radar Eyes" pierced me straight thru, "WhereWhereWhere" warped me good, and "Soon the Moon" slingshot me way out there. I won't even say what I saw in "Permanent Green Light"...
Weird, weird, stuff.

Speaking of the Godz I should add, there was some sad news the other day. This was posted at a group I belong to.
