As I said, we're in a classics section for a bit. And, if you want, you can toss your two cents in on track two. I'll explain in a moment.
This first track is, of course, the album version being nearly 11;00 long.
On track 2, I wouldn't mind your opinion. When I first got to this point in the project back in `99, I WANTED to toss White Room into this slot but, as of yet, I still didn't have the album. As I was feeling the strong need to get a lot more done with this, rather than just temporarily add the single version (an idea I JUST came up with a moment ago) until I got the album version, I decided to use Tales here. For the past 2 decades, I've been wondering if White Room COULD actually fit in this slot, now! I very recently changed it TO White Room and, although it DOES SEEM to fit nicely, I'm now torn between using it here and going back to Tales If any of you can recreate a playlist of these first three songs and swap Tales out for White Room and let me know what you think fits better, I'd like to have your opinions on this.
For those of you who don't know him, The Bevis Frond has been recording since the late `60's and still makes psych albums to this day and is now in charge of the extended Rubbles collections coming out the past decade, or so. I met him shortly before putting this comp together and he even donated two songs to a benefit project I was planning to do. As far as I know, he plays everything in the studio but, live, he has other musoes with him. Adrian Shaw (late of Hawkwind) is his bassist. Ade reminds me a LOT of my late friend, Carla Beck. I've heard that Country Joe McDonald has also recorded a few albums with The Bevis Frond but I have yet to find any.
Next, we have Murray Roman, the psychedelic comedian! His first album in the early `60's was your basic Borscht Belt shtick on a skiing trip he took. His next two, which the two tracks here came from, were very psychedelic! His last, before dying (in a car crash, from what I understand) was half new material about his 6 months in jail and the other half a rehash of some of the material from the previous two albums. There were also a number of promo only singles of al new material promoting this last album but, so far, I've only been able to find two of them. He was friends with the Smothers Brothers, appeared on a couple episodes of The Monkees and was Keith Moon's fave comedian!
Back in the early `80's, I used to hang out at a kind of home made thrift shop called, Think Pink. One day, they had a copy of the first Traffic album for a quarter so, I bought it. Again, it was a tad beat up but it played well. In the late `90's, I found a CD of this album that included both the American version and the British version! I think the American was in mono. However, there were aspects of my stereo copy that weren't on either of these two versions!! So, there's actually 3 different versions out there!! Maybe 4 if there was a mono British version that was different than the stereo! As with a number of albums released on both sides of the big puddle, there's always much better stuff on the Brit version than on the American!! XTC's "English Settlement" is another example.
I found the Vibrasonic records around 1993 and they blew my head open!!! This single, here, has a locked groove at the end and I let it play a few times before switching to the next track, here.
Daddy, Where Did I Come From is the original. The "Autumn To Spring" version will show up later.
Next, is the first US 69 track I ever heard on that Buddah comp I mentioned a few CD's back. I had this track for DECADES before I found the joke in it!!! Headphones helped A LOT!!! At first, you just never notice that it's all in mono until we get to chorusland where it suddenly becomes glaring stereo!!! At the start of the next verse, it goes right back to mono again!! NOW I understand the voice at the end saying, "It keeps switching from one side to the other! Is it supposed to?".
