SUPERB and HIGHLY LIMITED : this RARE and great UK psych pop MONSTER from 1968 - the self-titled album by McGough and McGear, featuring Paul McCartney's brother Mike McGear, poet Roger McGough and a host of all-star guests like Graham Nash, Jimi Hendrix, Spencer Davis, and brother Paul McCartney. Originals are few and far between, and command several hundred dollars when and if they show up. Musically, this is a very interesting LP with several all-time KILLER Rubble style psych pop tracks, "So Much In Love" and "Ex Art Student" being the strongest. "So Much in Love" is classic crunchy trippy Chocolate Soup/Rubble style popsike with irresistible melody, trippy FX, swirling acid guitar and breathy backing vocals; "Ex Art Student" is certainly one of the pinnacles of British psychedelia; Other gems are to be found here too, including "Yellow Book", trippy mellow popsike with piano and breathy echoed-out vocals; Here's what The Tapestry of Delights had to say about this LP - Roger McGough was one of the country's top poets. He recorded this now extremely rare album with Mike McGear whilst both were members of Scaffold. With originals so hard to come by, it has inevitably been counterfeited. The album featured many famous names including Jimi Hendrix, Spencer Davis Group",Dave Mason,Paul McCartney,John Mayalls Bluesbreakers, and Gary Walker. It's a mixture of McGough’s poems typified by Summer With Monika and some melodic Mike McGear pop songs.  Among the best of these are Ex-Art Student  which has Jimi Hendrix playing guitar and sitar and Graham Nash on vocals. The duo were actually signed to the new Apple label for this album, but since the label hadn't been launched it was leased to Parlophone.
