The Trypshop show 02 Halloween Special (Weds 31-10-2007)

It's the Trypshop Halloween Special no less.This week I give you 19 tracks with a Halloween feel or theme,
covering such suitable topics of spells, witches, apples, ghosts,
nightmares, spiders, all angles covered - no gravestone unturned.
The show was recorded in and around a haunted house / graveyard
(if you close you eyes hard enough and open your mind)...














No featured artist this week but there are two tracks from the
C.A. Quintet's "Trip Thru Hell" album. (pictured)
The excellent "Cold Spider" with it's twin guitar break that will
quite literally set your teeth on edge and the album-closer
"Trip Thru Hell Part Two" that taps into many musical styles through
it's duration but ends in a freak-out of screams, bells and backwards
guitars amongst other delights.
I originally had this album on vinyl (Psycho) but you are better
searching the Sundazed CD out, with bonus tracks and taken from
the master tapes. The Psycho LP misses one entire channel of music
in it's mono conversion.
This was C.A. Quintet's only album, released in 1969 (a bit late,
considering the sound of the content) and remains a classic.

The Creation feature again this week with a track called
"Nightmares". Cool to get a fair amount of mail from some of you
after I played "How Does It Feel To Feel?" in the first show.
Seems to be a firm fave.
Here's a clip of The Creation performing "Makin' Time" on Beat,
Beat, Beat circa 1966 awesome stuff:


There's also some great tracks by The Open Mind, Frog, Brazilian
Mac Rybell's version of the Stones 'Latern' from Satanic Majesties
and The Move's "Night Of Fear" with an interesting tag...

The Trypshop show 01 (Weds 24-10-2007)

First show focusing on the main tracks that kickstarted
my obsession with Psychedelia.All thanks to Julian Cope on Kid Jensens 'Collectors Choice'
on Radio 1 in 1984, where he introduced me to The Craig,
The Tickle and the Bump amongst others.
Bam Caruso's 'Rubble' compilation series had just started,
Alice In Wonderland in the UK, Paisley Underground in LA,
big interest in the genre at the time.
Small indie labels were releasing bucketloads of comp
albums of UK Psych, US Garage bands etc
The Damned became 'Naz Nomad & The Nightmares'.
XTC were about to become 'The Dukes Of Stratosphear'.
I was hooked...








A fair few of the tracks for this first show were pulled
from the 'Rubble', 'Chocolate Soup For Diabetics' and
'Perfumed Garden' compilation albums (pictured above).
Listen out especially for the One In A Milllion b-side
'Double Sight', which sounds uncannily like The Jam
but in 1967.
Every psych-head will have Fire's 'Father's Name Was Dad'
in their collection.
Les Goths 'Turn Over' is a personal favourite, with a
healthy dose of phasing throughout.
The Tickle's 'Subway (Smokey Pokey World)' is a perfect
example of UK psych at it's very best.













Each week I'll be playing three tracks by a 'featured artist'
and this week it's The Seeds. (pictured)
Exploding out of LA around 1965, they are widely known
as the premier 'garage' band. Fronted by Sky Saxon, their
sound was a raw organ/guitar-led mish-mash of simplistic
riffs which grew progressively psychedelic over a handful
of albums up to 1969.
They most definitely influenced The Doors as much as
Jagger influenced Sky Saxon.
Here's a clip of The Seeds doing 'Mr Farmer' on Shebang
in 1966, check the perfect haircuts and threads:



Of the three tracks I've included in the show, 'Evil Hoodoo'
comes from debut album 'The Seeds' (1966), 'Chocolate River'
was a 'Future' outtake from '67 and 'The Wind Blows Your Hair'
was a non-album a-side from the same year.
You can get all The Seeds albums on '2 for' CD's via Edsel.
'Web Of Sound' and 'Future' are essential listening.
