I wanted to mention this before when I posted some New Christy Minstrel songs but forgot.
They recorded on Columbia records and man, those engineers sure knew their stuff in the early sixties. The records sound fabulous! Alive and "in the room". Even the live album from the Troubadour is marvy.

Wow! Talk about Lost in the Sixties... Here's a Bay Area band that I somehow never heard of until a couple of weeks ago when one of my favorite YouTube channels, Yesterday's Papers, turned me on to Fifty Foot Hose.
Think Jefferson Airplane meets the United States Of America and you'll get the general idea. Pioneering and innovative, Fifty Foot Hose one and only album, Cauldron, is a nifty slice of psychedelic insanity. So glad I was able to track down a used copy.

I have a friend who used to talk to me about 50 foot hose..... guess I will have to check them out.
Check out the YP YouTube video I linked above. He does a terrific job of profiling the group and their sound. If, after watching the video, the music of Fifty Foot Hose sounds appealing to you, then you'll most likely enjoy the Big Beat comp. For those less adventurous, the listen may prove to be be a tough slog.
Well you've got me started on a Donavan roll tonight. I have Hurdy Gurdy Man on R2R stereo tape. Now, where did I put that Tascam player?
Lazy me might check out YT first
Surprised nobody has yet mentioned The Moving Sidewalks - the third band to feature Billy Gibbons on guitar, later of ZZ Top.
Never heard of them!
Which isn't that surprising on this side of the pond, though I first heard ZZ Top back in '72 when round at a school friend's house, as he 'borrowed/liberated' from his older brother's room Rio Grande Mud, and I have been hooked on ZZ Top ever since.
