Thank you Kasey Kasem for turning me onto this album way back in the summer of 1968.
When he was a local dj at old KRLA in LA he played the entire album one Sunday night. On AM radio to boot !

The beginning of real psychedelia as it is known. These songs arose from a mind unlike any that had come before. That said, I like where they went when that mind disappeared.  |

Yes! Just start with the album "Relics" - the greatest hits of their early stuff....then you will find yourself drawn into the albums I imagine... |

Obscurity is a problem. This song is way better than their later mainstream stuff. |

Plus, Norman "Hurricane" Smith, who was an engineer on the early Beatles' albums, and produced The Pretty Things, also had a bizarre, Top 40 hit with " Oh Babe, What Would You Say". |

Thank you for clarifying for this individual, and indeed for us all, Bill! :-D |
