I never did hear this whole album but I always wondered what it was like. The only track I knew was the great White Bird. I figured the rest of their stuff was probably more folky, but this track here is really good. I didn't think they would be so rock-y.

There are elements of folk in their stuff but they are a much more rocky band than you might think. White Birds is great and so is

Sound familar?

IABD's best album, IMO is

It's A Beautiful Day (1969) by It's A Beautiful Day

Pretty much an instantly recognisable track but I couldn't have told you who recorded it. Really "dig" this man!

Excellent stuff

This is really cool. I never heard this version before. I like how they slowed it down and made it like psychedelic acid rock. Everyone knows the Monkees version, but the one by Paul Revere and the Raiders is still the definitive one

Link

there are a number of great covers of this track. Thanks for sharing the Paul Revere version roberto.

I have never been a fan of

Their Satanic Majesties Request (1967) by The Rolling Stones

but this is one of the best tracks off the album. It was an interesting diversion for the Stones but ultimately a disappointment and an unnecessary diversion from one of the best bands of all time

This has got to be one of the greatest double-sided hit singles ever. She's a Rainbow was the bigger hit, but I think they were both A-sides on the label. Or maybe somebody just told me that.

Another great Psych track.

Putting the two best tracks on the album as a double A side! Not sure that was the best thing to do from a commercial basis but as a single for the fans, brilliant.

This is definitely psych. I sort of new this but didn't if that makes sense. I remember hearing it many years ago but it had pretty much vanished off my radar. Decent track

I have it already so familiar with the work of Trees

Again, is this psych? I'd say it's folk rock(ish)

Nice vocals but TBH, it has never grabbed me that much

I obviously already knew this track and i think that it's a very decent track. Is it psych though?

I don't think so but enjoyed hearing it again

It kicked of with

My favourite track from one of my least favourite Stones albums

A decent way to start the session

my final proposed track for this month is Darkness, darkness / The creator by The Third Mind

It's great but at 14 1/2 minutes it might not make the cut. We'll have to wait and see

Contemporaries of the Frond, I'm hoping that this goes down as well as I think it will

I wrote home about it a couple of times back when I was in grade school, but I think my Mom misunderstood and thought I was complaining about the hallucinogenics they were serving in the school cafeteria.

It must be. That happens quite a lot to be honest. Thanks for sharing the link. It plays so thanks for that

Your school cafeteria sounds way more interesting than mine was!
