Extremely Rare original vinyl issue of this very hard to find beatlesque psychedelic masterpiece.

The Smoke was a one-off studio group created by producer/musician Michael Lloyd. Lloyd was previously in a  lineup of  The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band . Lloyd remained busy with various music projects, and would soon be producing October Country for Epic. A few years earlier, he'd crossed paths with producer Kim Fowley , who signed Lloyd to a publishing deal when the songwriter was only 13. Fowley later introduced Lloyd to entertainment mogul Mike Curb, who was producing "teensploitation" movies at the time. Curb heard examples of Lloyd's musical gifts and decided to give him the opportunity to produce a handful of groups for his Tower imprint and its Sidewalk subsidiary, including one of Lloyd's own groups, The Laughing Wind. This group featured Stan Ayeroff on guitar and Steve Baim on drums, and had issued a Fowley -produced single in 1966 when Lloyd was only 15. They had  played with a few other bands as well, including Max Frost and the Troopers.
Curb gave Lloyd free reign of his Hollywood Boulevard Studios for six months. It was during this time that Lloyd , Ayeroff , and Aims recorded a beautiful melodic entire album's worth of beatlesque folky, psychedelic music under the name the Smoke. Curb released the Smoke's album on his Sidewalk label, a division of his Hollywood-based Sidewalk Productions company in 1967 (and a subsidiary of the Tower label). The original LP is very sought after and has never been reissued officially .
