Collection worthy British psychedelic rock by The Five Day Week Straw People, recorded in 1968...
Packed with imagination, first rate songs and confident performances that range from the swaggering Hard Rock of `Gold Digger' to the dreamy Psychedelic Pop of `Sunday Morning'. Listed in Record Collector's 100 Greatest Psychedelic Records.
A 1968 concept album reflecting people who work monotonously during the week and then try to enjoy themselves on the weekends.
Each song on Five Day Week Straw People drips with psychedelic rock gooeyness. From the opening bars of Five Day Week Straw People you hear what your in for. Acid fuzz guitar licks, saturated reverb vocals
tripped-out drums, steady bass guitar and upside-down sound-effects. It’s all here!
The Five Day Week Straw People were a one-off, British psychedelic band releasing their now essential collectible album in 1968 on the Saga label.
The ten songs were centered around the concept of a typical week to the weekend of life in the life of typical working British people.
For a fee, the Five Day Week Straw People -- comprised of singer/guitarist John Du Cann of the obscure psychedelic psych groups ' the Attack', 'Andromeda' and 'Atomic Rooster' + bassist Mick Hawksworth, and drummer Jack Collins -- were gathered together forming the interesting "Five Day Week Staw People". The album was recorded in about four hours in a London schoolroom, a remarkable achievement given that Collins had not heard any of the songs prior to the session, yet he executed exceptionally.
While the album ("Five Day Week Straw People") has attracted fanatical praise among collectors, it's steady British psychedelc-rock at best recalling UK "Kaleidoscope" & "The Open Mind" at best. Leaning more toward hard-rock than Mod-rock, although there are also strong pop-psych elements in the mixes. At times reminiscent of the most song oriented material recorded by Cream . The same could be said of some of the stuff done by "Andromeda" the group that Du Cann, Hawksworth, and Collins collaborated in after cutting the Five Day Week Straw People LP, although Andromeda was definitely in the heavier, hard rock vein
