Pour ma part, j'estime que Maxime Le Forestier et Gérard Manset sont des artistes totalement différents, de nombreux points de vue, mais bon, c'est bien d'en parler - il aurait été, également, pertinent de citer d'autres albums de Manset ( il a une discographie non négligeable). Ceci dit, bon travail, merci pour cette vidéo !

Some really cool stuff here FVA! I love some sitar. Do you know of the Montreal band Elephant Stone? I have an original copy of that Ultimate Spinach record. I absolutely love anything Steve Winwood, and have most of it including what you showed. ✌️

Congratulation for the 700 subscribers ! 🎉

Saw Quintessence in 1971. Brilliant band.

Great choices there. Got all that albums. Great video man, keep them coming.

There were several obscure but worthy Canadian psych bands like Kensington Market, the Paupers, Bent Wind, Collector, Mars Bonfire and Reign Ghost. Have no idea as to the availability of the vinyl though.

Get buzzed and listen to Dom - Dom. This album should come with a warning because it drags you to strange places and you may not return, enter at your own risk. ⚠️⛔️ It sounds incredible on vinyl too.

Excellente vidéo. Je comprends pourquoi ça marche tant ! Je n’avais pas pris le temps de la regarder ! Je vais m’écouter quelques albums du coup. ✌️👏👏🤘Bravo à toi Rom 🤜🤛

The Blissful Company artwork is amazing. I really like the early Traffic, before they got too jazz fusiony. I think John Barley Corn Must Die is my favourite of theirs. Nice call on Donovan. The trippiest of his albums in my opinion is A Gift From A Flower To A Garden. Ultimate Spinach is killer. I have never been able to find that Arzachel album. Even a reissue. Really dig what I've heard. I got the RSD reissue of Gandalf. What a great record. Great vid mate, a few I didn't know which a shall be checking out too. Cheers...Ben

Under-appreciated is right. I'm saying that as someone who hasn't heard these records! I have heard of some of these acts, of course, and I have seen Ultimate Spinach mentioned on other channels. My list of things to listen to is ever increasing 🙂

That first Gandalf album was in heavy rotation on my turntable, back then, and still moves me every time I dig it out of the shelves. I'm so glad you included it!

Among the most phenomenally psychedelic albums----KAK. Another fantastic entry---perhaps the best album ever made, Love's Forever Changes. A premier psychedelic song---Black Sheep by SRC.

Bon matin Romuald, petit video parfait pour le « Lève-tôt » que je suis. Honnêtement le seul artiste que je connaisse ici est Traffic et c’est la raison pour laquelle j’adore le VC, toujours à la découverte donc je garde un œil ouvert, bon mercredi à toi 🎶✌🏼

Félicitations encore pour tes 700 subs

Ultimate Spinach sounds like what I thought the Grateful Dead would sound like before I actually heard them

Bravo pour tes 700. Abonnés, vous nous faites tjr bien marrer franchement sympa, mais moi je fais comment avec ma wantlist qui fais 300pages de votre faute, merci 😓bonne semaine et a dimanche pour de nouvelles aventures,bises

Hey man! Congrata on the amazing milestone. I've seen you on many vids, mostly I believe with our buddy Steve (Alll The World's A Stage), Trev and Marci P. I believe. Also watched the video of lp's that remind you (us) of Steve. Might find myself doing that and jumping on that thread. I have quite a few that make me think of our buddy. Anyway. Cheers man. Here's to the next 700! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘

I was glad to come I'll be sad to go So while I'm here I'll have me a real good time

Excellent recommendations!! I would also put Faintly Blowing by Kaleidoscope (uk band) on this list. It's a completely under appreciated album and it's not even on Spotify to stream (because the album itself on vinyl is insanely expensive)!

Salut!!

Hello , Ive heard all psych albums you show here. My fave artist is Moondogs first and second. Greetings from Sweden....

I have 3 Quintessence albums, all have great music. They were great live also, saw them at a few 70's festivals in the South of England. "Mr Fantasy" is one of my favourite Traffic albums. Donovan is a legend among us old hippies. Always ready to step up & entertain the crowd if a band was late, calling others up onto stage to assist. A real Troubadour with some amazing tunes.

What's an OG pressing? How do you figure Gandalf is Baroque or sunshine? It's neither. At this point, they were mostly just taking older songs from the `50's and 40's and re-working them into really cool psych tunes. Before this, they had a few singles on RCA Victor under the name, Barracuda. Sunshine psych is stuff like The Yellow Balloon or Spanky & Our Gang. At the moment, I'm too tired to come up with a baroque psych band and I've been listening to my entire Psych Demos collection for the past 3 weeks (one more week to go) but, I think Mandrake Memorial's first album would fall into that category with their electric harpsichord, one of the only bands to have one. There were two versions oof the Traffic album (maybe 3). The original British version, which you showed, the American version, which had a few different songs on it as well as a different title "Heaven Is In Their Minds" and some versions have several "hidden" tracks on ech side, between the actual songs. Ultimate Spinach sounds nothing like Country Joe or The Dreadful Grate. Their second album is somewhat better than the first. Sadly, their third album was just pop and disco. Another great psych band that went disco in the `70's was H. P. Lovecraft. Mostly, their second album was great psych. The first and third weren't very psych at all. They went disco on the 4th album. Or, was it the 5th? The Pillbugs have a few baroque moments.

Un Live a 2h du matin en France c'est chaud...

Félicitations, et on s'est bien marrés, c'est ça l'essentiel de la vie !

Congrats on 700 subs, Romuald! 🔊🥳🎶

Moin Romuald, sehr witziger Stream und ein paar bekannte Platten waren auch dabei. Gruß Patrick

Félicitations! 🎉🎉🎉

was ein Spaß 🙂 Diese Spontan-Streams sind einfach grandios! Glückwunsch!

Congratulations Romuald on reaching 700 subs

Congratulations Romuald!!! Well deserved pal!

That was really fun. Congratulations 🍾

Great stuff ! 😎

Romuald, good video. I have a few of these, and some are new to me. I watched the replay of your epic live stream with Fred (Bigstar1000). Very interesting. Thanks, Chris

This post showed up as recommended, so I watched it, and quite enjoyed it. I do have a few comments as was in college when these albums came out. In the US the first Traffic album came out a couple of months later AND Dave Mason had quit the group (for the first time) by the time of the UK release. America, being slow to deliver the album, issued the first album as "Heaven Is in Your Mind" before soon retitling it "Mr. Fantasy." Maybe because Mason had left, there was a different cover (Mason no longer in the photos) while two of his songs were dropped for Winwood - Capaldi tunes. It is not vinyl, but Island Records in 2000 released a mono version of the album on CD with the missing US cuts plus the two cuts Traffic cut for the "Here We Go 'Round the Mulberry Bush" soundtrack ( which were the first cuts that Traffic recorded, but went unreleased until the movie came out after the first album's release. They also issued a stereo mix with the US cover, song order, and bonus cuts. The mono may be punchier, but the stereo sounds more 'psychedelic. Makes for a messy catalogue. Donovan's "Hurdy Gurdy Man" was not as well reviewed as his earlier albums ("Sunshine Superman" and "Mellow Yellow" in particular with the latter having 'Sunny South Kensington' on it which is my favorite Donovan. but to each his own.) The 60s Donovan albums that Mickie Most produced had the advantage of arrangements ranging from acoustic jazz to almost hard rock which seemed to fit each individual song. While not officially recording the song, King Crimson did a great version of 'Get Thy Bearings' from the "Hurdy Gurdy Man" album. I saw them perform it at Hyde Park in the summer of '69. I lived in London that summer, and in the flat below me, an Eastern European (Hungary?) cellist drifted through for a week. He played several gigs with Quintessence which sparked me to buy their album. And things did look great at Notting Hill Gate - the home of one of my favorite bands, Hawkwind. The first two Ultimate Spinach albums are guilty pleasures of mine. They were slammed by the 'alternative' music press when they came out. Producer Alan Lorber tried to promote a Bosstown Sound focusing, at first, on three Boston bands: Ultimate Spinach, Orpheus, and Beacon Street Union. Reviewers hated this crass ploy, and none of the albums received good reviews. And apparently Lorber ran the show as a third Ultimate Spinach album came out, but only one original member was (tangentially) involved. That record did have Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter as a member before his Steely Dan and Doobie Brothers days. Enough with the boring minutiae.

Just stumbled across your channel. Quintessence's work is definitely under appreciated in some circles. Stellar spiritual trip mixed with the rock scene at the time. Czar is an interesting title from Fontana. Has an out of tune Mellotron curving this weird progressive slant. Some fine titles here.

I’m glad to discover your video covering a topic that I love to delving deep into. I’m a huge of that first, psychedelic era, and I’m always looking for more than what I already know. I do have that “ Traffic “ album, but some of those others are most definitely intriguing. I’m looking forward to hearing them. But I do have one of my own that I can recommend, if you haven’t heard it. “ Peak Impressions “ from the band The Freeborne. They were another one and done group, but that album was a psychedelic gem.

Have subbed to Richard S and will do a video for the thread this week 🎉 good choices - wish you were here is superb :- I have a few from my parents collection and will never replace them either !

Hi just subbed on Dave Atkinsons recommendation - shall dive through your videos

Tres eclectique. Je garde ce video dans mes favoris, afin d'y revenir de temps en temps, pour les references. Bien peu de gens connaissent aussi bien ce sujet. Chapeau. 👍
