Nevermore, by The Magic Mushrooms, has a quirky rhythm that has 4 bars of 6/8 and then 2 bars of 8/8, then there's an instrumental break that starts out real slow and gradually speeds up to where the rest of the song is.
Beast was another of those albums I bought from the Kmart bargain bin. In this case, aside from the couple of really short tracks on it, and a few band member names I thought I recognized, it was on Cotillion which, as far as I know, was a brand new label a couple years before and I just liked the look of the label....a least until they went to that bland purple label about 10 years later.
"Madman", sounds to me like all they did was take the original recording done by Dantalion's Chariot, some of whom had become Eric's back-up band, at least for this album, and just added Eric's vocals to it.
Originally, the next track was just going to be, "Beyond" but, as you know, all Moody Blues songs of that era are connected so, it was too difficult to cut after just the first song and, besides, the other two fit nicely and ARE pretty much psych.
During my decades of frequenting, and occasionally working at, Jerry's Fine Used Records, I met one of his new employees, a guy named, Paul. I don't recall his last name but, not long after he started working there, he opened his own record store, Paul's CD's and I used to get a lot of new stuff from there. One day, I walked in and he was playing this album that sounded, to my ears, very much like The Moody Blues!! He told me it was a band called, The Common People. I bought a copy! It's not a bad album but, to my ears, there was only 3 good psych tracks on it, that sounded like the MB's and the rest of it was just a `60's pop record.
As a side note, one of Paul's customers was a guy that lived nearby and was named, Roky Ericson! Paul was a huge fan and had him autograph something which he then displayed it at the store. According to Paul, Roky's brother was a violinist in the local symphony orchestra and, shortly after the meeting with Paul, they both moved to Texas.
A few years later, Paul sold his shop to one of his employees and it was called, The CD Cat for a while before someone else bought it and it quickly went under about a year later.
As for Jerry, about 15 years ago, his son, Willie, decided to open a 78 shop in the same store and, one day, a certain Robert Crumb showed up to but a hard to find cherished 78 that, nearest I can recall, was on Vocalion. Willie talked Mr. Crumb into drawing a picture of Willie and his dad and it now adorns a set of t-shirts they will sometimes sell. A few years later, Jerry retired, selling his store to a new guy and Jerry started selling records from his home/warehouse about 10 miles away.
