Description

PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question.   OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION.

Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable.

    5. A GREAT West Coast psychedelic rock artifact on the obscure 'Shamley' label gets top ratings in collectors fields of 60's psychedelic dreams...

      "HMS BOUNTY" represents one of the three Merrell Fankhauser led bands throughout the mid to late 60’s and early 70’s.
    6. "Fapradokly"  "HMS BOUNTY" and "MU"

    7. "Things" released in 1968, is sandwiched between Fankhauser’s Fapardokly and Mu albums. 

    8. Things remains a bona-fide masterpiece of 60’s sounds, coming across like a meeting between Buffalo Springfield, Spirit, Byrds and Cream.
      ..........................................................................
      H.M.S. BOUNTY is much more psychedelic minded than 1966’s folk-rock inclined Fapardokly.
    9. ..........................................................................
    10. A Visit With Ashiya is possibly Fankhauser at his most psychedelic, a-washed with stoned vocals and walls of sitar. 

    11. One of the album’s centerpieces and a raga rock killer that ends with some thick fuzz-tones. Things has a handful of tuneful, melodic folk-rockers that hark back to earlier times. Ice Cube Island is one of the best of these folk-rockers, being so blissed-out and ethereal. It’s an excellent example of acid folk-rock. 

    12. Other songs like Madame Silky
    13. What Does He See In You and Rich Man’s Fable work really well too and are characterized by paranoid vocals and liquid fuzz guitar leads.

    14. For most listeners though, the highlight of this album is Your Painted Lives. It’s one of those incredible 60’s songs, an early foray into rural psych that chugs along with echoed vocals and once again, hard fuzz guitar riffs.

      Things is delicate and raunchy all at once and a great, American underground rock record and deserves a special place among the best psychedelic 60’s albums

    15. Doctor Billy Dodd - guitar, organ, vocals
      Merrell Fankhauser - guitar, sitar, vocals
      Jack Jordan - bass, vocals
      Larry Meyers - drums, tabla
