The Psychedelic Record Case - Part 6
Check out my Monacled Alchemist website.
British radio DJ John Peel maintained a Record Box containing a small private collection of 143 singles. They were stored in a wooden box and represented some of his favourite 45s. This gave me an idea for a project of my own!
So, today I bought a vintage psychedelic record case, probably manufactured in the mid to late sixties. It looks, feels and smells like it’s from another dimension (which it is).
It’s only right and proper that I fill this beautiful case with appropriate psychedelic and ’60s garage 45s from my archive. My mission is to create short snappy mixes based on those records.
Numbers interspersed with vintage '60s radio adverts.
Both sides of The Jelly Bean Bandits have been used in my mix.

64: The garage punk sounds of THE SINISTER URGE: Demo tape 1995
5/2/2024
They were a rockin’ garage band, not the purist ’66 sort with moptops and Beatle boots, they were much more into the basic rock ’n roll of The Sonics and The Wailers. It’s no surprise that The Sinister Urge recorded two Sonics tracks for their demo tape namely ”Witch” and ”Boss Hoss”.

The 2 CD set "The Get Easy! Sunshine Pop Collection" released over 20 years ago is long gone and now very expensive, if you're lucky to find one offered for sale! The second CD is way too lite and easy listening but the first CD contains some glorious harmony pure pop treats.
