DEEP 'Psychedelic Moods' Triple LP (US, Lion Productions, Catalogue #Lion-LP 150) Brand new/unplayed copy of limited Triple LP monster edition of 1966 GARAGE PSYCH ACID MONSTER album "Psychedelic Moods" by the Deep.

Packaged in a heavy gatefold cover and including copious liner notes.

(NOTE: LIMITED VINYL EDITION!)

'Expanded deluxe edition of The Deep's one and only album, originally released in 1966 and now well-established as a psychedelic classic. One night in a darkened Philadelphia studio, the Deep (Rusty Evans, songwriting partner and producer Mark Barkan, the legendary David Bromberg, whose credits include playing with Bob Dylan and many others, plus a bevy of talented musicians) laid down tempestuous garage punkers, sweetly-twisted ballads and ambiguous weirdness, all rife with hyper-psychedelic lyrical flashes of a rolling midnight expressway through the subconscious mind. A perfect representation of the psychedelic sound: free-form poetry, infectious drum beats, fuzzed out guitar, and playfully plucked bass (and vibes and tympani and so on), swirl together, coalescing into some of the most impressive psychedelic rock you'll hear. Cuts like 'Your Choice To Choose,' sound very Seeds-like or proto-Velvet Underground, Lou Reed snarl and all; others like 'Shadows On The Wall' and 'Wake Up and Find Me' are haunting acid ballads: the whole point of the album was to thoroughly explore the hallucinatory agony and ecstasy of a 12-hour Technicolor dream... although the end result is more amphetamine edgy than acid-soaked trippy. The Deep "Psychedelic Moods" pre-dates its closest kindred sprit in sound and energy (albeit not subject matter): “The Velvet Underground and Nico" came along five months later, and the world of music shifted on its axis—but too late for the Deep.'

'This 3xLP release of “Psychedelic Moods” is taken from the original four-track master tapes. In addition to the superlative master takes, there are three sides of out-takes and alternates from the Deep original four-track session tapes. This set also marks the vinyl debut of all known recordings by Inner Sanctum (aka Hydro Pyro), another LSD trip project produced by Mark Barkan in 1966. Tip-on gatefold art has liner notes detailing the mysterious rise and fall of this New York City band. Made with full co-operation of original Deep producers, Mark Barkan and Rusty Evans. A definitive example of the psychedelic sound.'

"Something of a psych fan's dream, this LP was recorded in August 1966, when the idea of a conceptual acid album was completely uncharted territory. Consequently, Rusty Evans and his NYC ex-folkie pals managed to create an LP that sounds fresh many decades later. The twelve tracks are essentially a series of musical trip reports covering the whole emotional spectrum, from chaos and euphoria to introspection and melancholy, with an intense, challenging atmosphere." —Patrick Lundborg, Acid Archives
