Description
The Beat Of The Earth: same 1967, USA/Radish AS-0001. Disc is M-, it is unplayed! Cover is M- in shrink wrap with sharp corners, this is flawless! The Beat Of The Earth was not a rock band proper, but a musical collective of local hippies and ex-Beatniks. This first LP is a collection of improvisations recorded in the studio and it's like a document of the unpredictable sound collage that one might have experienced at one of the early acid happenings. It really works, you can practically see the liquid light show on the walls as it plays. Viewed with that mindset, it's a perfect album. It sounds just like it's supposed to, and the cover absolutely reeks of SoCal hippie vibes. Two sidelong flipouts with Lou Reed-like vocals and totally druggy, primitive instrumentation; this LP has mesmerized more than a few psych collectors over the years. One of the most unique items from the private press scene, and what a f*ckin' miracle it is that you have a shot at a MINT one 40 years after it was pulled from the shops. The dream has faded away, but a little handful of the magic dust still exists. Protected by goats!
