GENESIS / IN THE BEGINNING

1968  MERCURY  USA 1st PRESS



••••• ESSENTIAL UNDERGROUND PSYCHEDELIA. The only album by this blazing jamming West Coast psych outfit delivered waves of shredding fuzz guitar, snaking bass lines with tripped out breakbeats and positively atmospheric stoned out male/female vocal harmonies. Ripping guitars on "Angeline" and "What's It All About?" along with a transcendant cover of Leonard Cohen's "Suzanne" and of course the 16 minute extended acid trip freak out jam "World Without You." TRUE PSYCH COLLECTOR STATUS.
