This batch of LP’s are from a very recently acquired collection of all original late 60’s early 70’s pressing LP’s. There are around 200 albums I hope to list over the coming weeks some fantastic titles amongst them most over 45 years old!! I have hand cleaned and listened to every album and graded conservatively (as per usual) to give the most accurate grading I can. I hope you enjoy browsing or bidding on the titles as much as I have listening to them all.
There are three albums by the Spinach but in reality THIS is it . This is the one you must have. They never reached these heights again. There is something to hear every second. One of the Bosstown Sounds archetypical moments is the start of the album. You hear Ian's echoed voice, warning yet seductive and before you know it you're into the first song Ego Trip about your own misguided mind trip, don't you see? If you don't, leave NOW because you don't get it. The first self titled album from 1968 is full of over-the-top psychedelic lyrics while at the same time putting down the 'hippie' culture. Anti-war sentiment is a major theme also, not to forget paranoia, that was HUGE in the sixties. Musically this is a delight. Great engineering also. Crisp sounds and effective use of multiple tracks. There is a wide variety of guitar sounds using wha-wha, fuzz, echo, tremelo, feedback and volume control. Hip Death Goddess ...here it is, turn down the lights and seep into it. Sacrifice to the Moon is in four parts. I can remember having discussions on which one was our favorite. You have to read the liner notes by mastermind Ian Bruce-Douglas. They are a time capsule of hippie 1968 mind thought. As a matter of fact it would make a wonderful 60's throwback night. Put some colored bulbs in your lamps. Put on some tie dyed shirts. Have a copy of The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran to quote from and spin the Ultimate Spinach and you are on a sixties mindtrip, baby.
Tracks: Ego trip/ Sacrifice of the moon (in four parts)/ Plastic raincoats - Hung-up minds)/ (Ballad of the) hip death goddess/ Your head is reeling/ Dove in hawk’s clothing/ Baroque #1/ Funny freak parade/ Pamela.
