Description
One of the most highly acclaimed and notable artifacts of late 60's psychedelia, the lone LP by Sam Gopal lives up to all expectations.
Manic fuzz leads, hallucinogenic vocals, and an overall distinct style all their own. The star here of course is Lemmy Kilminster, singing and ripping solos at every turn. The concept of traditional rock drumming is interestingly abandoned; Sam Gopal is a India styled Tabla player and his playing flows naturally like a strong hit of Turkish hashish. Evidently many of these songs were written in one speed fueled evening by Lemmy himself. Most of these songs could easily have been reworked for Motorhead, anybody else here notice that? This edition here is an unofficial press with no clues of it's origins. The cover shows some slight storage wear and signs of delicate handling. Seams look OK with no splits and the spine shows small evidence of wear. Zoom in those photos. I would say a good EX, but let's call it VG+ for those who can't handle the truth. The vinyl itself is also a clean shiny EX and plays through loud and clear. A must have album for all doom hippies and psychedelic warlords.
