You are bidding on The Plastic Cloud - Shadows Of Your Mind / Dainty General Rides 

PLEASE REVIEW PHOTOS.  this is what people write about LP "One of the GREATEST Psychedelic albums EVER made.  This 1968 Canadian release is one hip album, full of catchy melodies and West-Coast harmonies, as well as some of the most superb Fuzz guitar ever recorded.  There is no point singling out a specific track, THEY ARE ALL EXCELLENT.  Formed in 1967, they managed to encompass the commercial side of the music in pleasant, "The Plastic Cloud" were an Ontario-based Folk-Rock quartet, consisting of "Brian Madill" (bass guitar), "Don Brewer" (lead vocals, 12-string guitar), "Mike Cadieux" (guitar), and "Randy Umphrey" (drums).

The mix of dreamy "West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band"-style vocals with ripping Fuzz and "The Bachs" attitude works BETTER than one might imagine possible, and the LP gains appeal from its youthful basement edge.  There's lots of Fuzz guitar on tracks like "Shadows Of Your Mind", "Face Behind The Sun" and "Civilization Machine", whilst "Dainty General Rides" and "Art's A Happy Man" are nice Soft-Rock - SUNSHINE numbers.  Two tracks are nearly 10 minutes long which still is unusual for 60's Psychedelia.  In one take of listening, near the end, the last track, "Civilization Machine" might seem too much, for it is very densely arranged with the Fuzz really all over the place, with not one moment of peace.  Still this is an ESSENTIAL remastered reissue to 60's Psychedelic fans. Enjoy it!!!"

"The Plastic Cloud were a psychedelic rock band based out of Bay Ridges, Ontario.  Had their homebase been located elsewhere (San Fran, NYC, or LA) things may have been very different for the Plastic Cloud but instead this sole album has languished in obscurity.  Psych fans and collectors remain divided, however: collectors consider Plastic Cloud one of Canada’s best psych albums (or indeed the best from anywhere) while some jaded day-trippers merely find it just ok/ nothing special.   All lyrics were written by guitarist/vocalist Don Brewer but other members were drummer Randy Umphrey, bass player Brian Madill, and guitarist Mike Cadieu
