Monday, March 31, 2008 The Crystal Mansion - The Crystal Mansion There is always a little story behind every record posted here, so bear with me!I bought this album in 1998 at Leeds. I found it in a small shop that had opened very close to my house. The shop was at Brudenell Road, Hyde Park and it used to sell every kind of second hand stuff such as flares and retro gadgets in general, as

Thursday, August 30, 2007 El Tarro de Mostaza - El Tarro de Mostaza (1970) The only album by this Mexican group, whose name translates as "The Jar of Mustard." Side one is a sometimes groovy, sometimes annoying, amateurish psych jam played on what sound like real bargain-basement instruments. The organ comping is particularly ham-fisted. Somehow, the track hangs together, but it's not

Saturday, June 30, 2007 The Poets - Scotland's No.1 Group Although they only released half a dozen singles, these were enough to firmly establish the Poets' status as the best Scottish rock group of the mid-'60s. It's true that this is akin to being a big fish in a small pond -- not many Scottish bands recorded in the 1960s, and not many of them were at all notable. But that shouldn't

Tuesday, May 15, 2007 The Maze - 1968 - Armageddon Rare acid psych killer by obscure San Francisco band from the late '60s.Their all-original material emphasized heavy organ, long drawn-out fuzzy guitar solos, despondent stoned vocals, and minor-key melodies. Then as a bonus you get to hear what the band sounded like a year or two earlier on a few tracks- the two or three old songs
