A sample of some obscure – and maybe not obscure – tunes from my strange and off-the-wall collection.

Today’s selection: Joe Byrd & The Field Hippies – “Sub-Sylvian Litanies” 1969

Today’s selection takes up roughly ½ of the first side of “The American Metaphysical Circus“

Described as “an entire acid trip in 11 minutes“, this “psychedelic” album was one of the first compositions utilizing synthesizers. It has been compared to some of the earlier experimental works of Pink Floyd (also among my favorites).

I ended up with two copies of this LP. One I bought at a record/head shop; the other I obtained from the local “underground” FM station when it went under.

A far different world …
