Let's Go Down And Blow Our Minds - The British Psychedelic Sounds Of 1967 (3 CD Box) 2016

further volume to Kostas’ exploration of the more obscure side of early Brit Pop! There are names here but precious few you may recognise, The Alan Bown, The Pretty Things, The Moody Blues, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Elmer Gantry’s Velvet Opera and the Ryan twins Paul and Barry, Murray Head even and The Searchers (obvs) and Procul Harum but really? - The Q.P.R. Supporters–Supporters?!say what now?!, Jade Hexagram?!, Crocheted Doughnut Ring?!!, or Dantalian's Chariot (actually this last rings a bell back in the misty recesses of my mind!!) 
Enjoy! I DID!
