The Shangri-Las' "tough girl" persona set them apart from other girl groups. From a blue collar area of Queens, they were less demure than their contemporaries.

| Papy |
Toi Le Shazam
|
Toi Le Shazam 7" | Discques Vogues | 1967 | rFançois Papy from Paris, France is the brain behind this slice of psych. This record is about as hard to find as it is finding information on this artist...period. | 1:09:07 (MP3 | Pop-up) |

Food For Soul
|
Sugar Lumps Compilation |
Acid Jazz |
2005 |
More slightly modern takes on classic fuzz and psych. This came out on Eddie Piller's Acid Jazz records. By the way, Eddie has a new book out called "Clean Living Under Difficult Circumstances" and it is EXCELLENT. |

| Ultimate Spinach |
Ego Trip
|
Ultimate Spinach (Mono Mix) | MGM Records | 1968 | Bruce-Douglas says that he named the band based on experiences in an acid trip: "One day, in 1967, I was in my room, tripping on some really pure LSD. I started looking at myself in the mirror and my face was doing funny things. I had a bunch of colored markers I used to draw with. I grabbed a green one and started drawing all these psychedelic designs on my face. When I was done, I looked at myself and said 'Whoa! I am ultimate spinach. Ultimate spinach is me!'"[ | 1:25:25 (MP3 | Pop-up) |
| Soul Hooligan |
Space Travel
|
Sugar Lumps Compilation | Hard Soul | 2005 | Soul Hooligan began in 1997, as a solo project for veteran hardcore producer Austin Reynolds (who had been Surburban Base's in-house engineer between 1991-1993). Under this moniker he released the first single 'Sweet Pea'. They are an interesting post-Britpop early 2000's take on psychedelia. Out of step with everything, this tune is as authentic as they come... | 1:28:31 (MP3 | Pop-up) |
| The Galaxies IV |
Don't Lose Your Mind
|
Don't Lose Your Mind 7" | RCA | 1967 | The Galaxies IV formed at Catholic school in Trenton in 1962. Members were T.J. Tindall on guitar, Chris Holmes on guitar and vocals, Charles Brodowicz keyboards, Len Demski bass, and Alan Fowler on drums. | 1:31:38 (MP3 | Pop-up) |
| The Hallmarks |
Soul Shakin' Psychedelic Sally
|
Soul Shakin' Psychedelic Sally / Girl Of My Dreams 7" | Smash Records | 1967 | Need more psychedelic reverb and space echo...this garage-y stomper has it all. For Oceanport group The Hallmarks “Soul Shakin’ Psychedelic Sally” would be their only release and it’s become a highly collectable favourite 45 on the psych scene of today... | 1:34:38 (MP3 | Pop-up) |
| Dr. Spec's Optical Illusion |
She's The One
|
Tryin' To Mess My Mind/She's The One 7" | Flambeau | 1967 | Dr. Spec's Optical Illusion was an American garage rock band formed in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1965. n early performances, the Illusions' set list was typically dominated by cover versions of other artists' material ranging from British Invasion songs to R&B standards by artists such as James Brown and Curley Moore.

| The Noel Gilpin Emporium |
Will You Miss Me When I'm Dead?
|
Sugar Lumps Compilation | Acid Jazz Records | 2005 | Another great track from Eddie Piller's 2005 Acid Jazz comp. People suspect whether they ever existed...because there is little to nothing to know about them. And they could be dead...but who knows? | 1:39:31 (MP3 | Pop-up) |
| Plastic Penny |
Strawberry Fields Forever
|
Two Sides of a Penny | Page One | 1968 | How absolutely cheeky of this band to cover one of the greatest songs ever written a scant year after its release. Even though the critics hated this band, calling them "derivative and forgettable"....there's something about this particular organ driven cover with a base sound that later would become JJ Burnel of the Stranglers signature tone. I absolutely love it. | 1:42:49 (MP3 | Pop-up) |
| Pink Floyd |
Summer of '68
|
Atom Heart Mother | Harvest | 1968 | To me, one of Floyd's finest...gentle, pastoral psychedelia...it's impossible to have a bad trip listening to this record. Heavy, elegant, regal, gentle, hits you squarely in the third eye with gentle caresses...it is a masterpiece. | 1:47:14 (MP3 | Pop-up) |

| The Association |
Never My Love
|
Never My Love/Requiem For The Masses 7" | Warner Brothers | 1967 |
AllMusic's Stewart Mason wrote of the "laid-back and dreamy" single with a "sleek and sophisticated" tune that "the dual lead vocals, by Terry Kirkman and Larry Ramos, are supported by wordless harmonies as effortlessly airy as whipped cream." Never My Love" is a pop standard written by American siblings Don and Dick Addrisi..and the Association's version still holds as the most successful of this oft covered tune. (BMI) announced it was the second most-played song on radio and television of the 20th century in the U.S..and rightly so, it is |
