[@GarwoodPickjon65]

Hi Dillon , Just so you know, I'm writing the same to you, Psychederek and the pair of Matt and Psych professor, to thank you guys for providing lots of fun watching your videos. I'm considerably older than any of you (almost 52) and having been into sixties psych, or sixties in general (amongst other things), since I was 10 years old (when John was shot, and the media started bombing us with all things Beatles) it's so good to see younger generations getting into the same grooves (pun intended), especially coming from mostly godforsaken Serbia, where likeminded soulmates are more than scarce, regardless of generation, which puts the number of people that I've been able to talk to (I mean face to face) about anything even remotely obscure sixties, down to not more then a few dozen, for the past couple of decades. Scary, right? On top of that, having in mind that, before internet, finding records in (then) Yugoslavia, aside from what local labels had decided to license (which, as you might guess, wasn't much beyond mainstream), was a hell of a hard hobby to keep going, by just a word of a very few mouth. To avoid sharing a novel sized life story here, in the meantime I'd been finding ways to learn and collect, had a local radio show, spreading the word (and sound) to the uninitiated, got in touch with thousands of bands and labels around the globe (you wouldn't believe some of THE bands that had actually sent music and stuff in support of the show), who all generously helped keep the show going. Through all that I also got involved in the re-initiation of the notorious Shindig magazine and had been writing reviews for it during the first year or so, and also for the Italian Misty Lane mag, which all helped connect to those "like us", at least by way of cyber space. In the meantime, thanks to my job, I've been travelling all over Europe (so far only once the US), which has helped the (physical) record buying habit a little, but seeing the records you guys are able to buy at (from Serbian perspective) unbelievable prices, makes me soooooo jealous 😊 I've (re)bought and (re)sold lots of my collection multiple times, and have been sticking to not more than 1000+ records (+ as much singles and a few hundred CDs) that I really listen on regular basis. Anyways, I could go on forever, feeling like I'm actually talking to someone who understands the nerdy language I speak all my life, so I'll just finish with a list of records that I think I haven't heard any of you mention (I do believe I saw most of your videos) and which I know for sure any of you would love (I'm sure you'll know some if not most, in spite of not having mentioned them for one reason or another), so let me know if you do know them and prey tell why not mention them?! 😊 and even more so, let me know if you hear them after me suggesting. I've been following you on IG since recently, which is as Goran Obradovic (@garwoodpickjon => here's a little test for you ... without googling please 😊), where you might get a glimpse of what I'm about besides psych, even though I haven't been posting much lately So, here goes the "wheresitonyourlist" list: - The Action - Brain (or Rolled gold, depending on the release) .... this is your beloved pre-Mighty Baby, so come on guys, no mention of the mighty Action anytime you rant on MB?! Not nice, to say the least! - Blossom Toes - We are ever so clean (I somehow do believe some of you must've mentioned it, which I might've missed. I just can't believe otherwise) - Jack Bruce - Songs for a tailor (you might love it more than Cream even) - Dantalian's Chariot - Chariot rising (Zoot Money (and Andy Summers) post Flamingo psych bandwagon jump. But what a jump it was!) - Pete Dello - Into your ears (formerly of Honeybus ... more on the Toytown psych side, but what irresistible toys) - Honeybus - s/t ... while at it. More pop than psych but what a (bus) ride! - Elli - s/t (a comp on Dig The Fuzz label - same as the first Action release above - but essential to me) - Genesis - From genesis to revelation (but either get the singles too, or the cheap Rock Roots reissue, which includes them, because they're worth it ! You all love early Bee Gees, so there you go - Billy Nicholls - Would you believe (your future grail, as anyone's 😊, once you read about it, and hear it) - The Poets - s/t (if on Distrotions) or "Get with The Poets and live" (if on Corduroy). Even the early daze, 64/65 is more psych than some of the officially declared psych!) - The Smoke - It's Smoke time (NOT Lloyd's US Smoke obvs, and verging between freakbeat, psych and pop) - Gary Walker & The Rain - Album No.1 (future grail is all I say ... if not already) - The Dovers - We're not just anybody (10" comp of all 8 single sides - one of the most precious pieces of plastic in my house is all I say) - Dan Hicks & his Hot Licks - Original recordings (former Charlatans resident weirdo, and more like vaudeville psych, for want of a better genre, but if you haven't, hear "I scare myself" and you won't care if all other songs are shit. Which they are not, but they're more fun than good) - Klaatu - debut + any of the next three if you care for prog-Beatles, which everyone thought they really were early on - Powder - Biff bang powder! (The best album never officially released!!! Period! Forget SMiLE. Which I love too. This is, Who,Small Faces, Nazz and lots more, all rolled into one outrageous monster! If this was an official album, it would have been in my all time Top10) - The Vagrants - I can't make a friend (a comp, first by Distortions, which is kinda like semi-official-ish, and then on (I think) Light in the attic Truck - Surprise surprise (former October Cherries ... but THESE are the versions of songs you'll want to hear) I'm sure I must've missed quite a few, but I hope we stay in touch and exchange tips anyway. Cheers and thanks again for making me feel like I'm actually sitting with someone who speaks my language! Garwood Pickjon 😉 PS One of the tonguebreaking records you showed once is the Yugoslavian band Igra Staklenih Perli 😁 Not one of my faves, and to be honest, there's not much local stuff I collect, except for sixties beat/psych singles, of which there was not mOre than 100, believe it or not, but two records I'd surely recommend are Pop Masina whose hard hitting psych I know you'd LOVE, and Grupa 220 "Nasi Dani"

[@johnm4875]

I am an old man (72) and still looking for the ultimate psych. Before I found your site I was considering selling my collection. First record I ever bought was around 1958 - 59 and it was a 78 RPM. Love your videos keep them coming. On Part one I said I had about 95% of those you showed. On Part 2 I'm down to about 50 - 60%. Next time I visit my son in NC I will have to try to check out your store.

[@noblerecords]

Sounds great! I’m glad you’re hanging on to them for now! Thanks for the kind words!

[@johncalarco3728]

I can relate because I’m a few years behind you. About a year back, I finally cleared away some clutter. This enabled me to access my old albums. I’ve really got to enjoy revisiting a lot of old stuff on vinyl. Keep listening!

[@dylanp2921]

Mr Noble Record Guy - As others may have mentioned, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are a great psych band from Melbourne. Very prolific and they vary each albums sound quite a lot from garage to bluesy and even jazzy, poppy, and heavy metal. But their psych masterpiece is their 8th album from 2016 - Nonagon Infinity. It’s...Epic. If you haven’t heard this amazing record (and I don’t bandy around these adjectives lightly) please check it out.

[@howlindonster6131]

Kaleidoscope is a group from the late 60's e David Lindley who played with Jackson Browne in 70's

[@crazymusicgeek9233]

Sacred Mushroom are some hometown heroes here in the Cincinnati Record collecting scene

[@rockabillyproject8266]

Great part 2. I have been listening to a lot more psych albums since your introduction. Thanks!

[@alanburridge6947]

What a treat seeing you without that darn cap!

[@vinylfinds6126]

Hey! I’ve been waiting for part 2 for a long time now. But the wait was worth it. Now I get a lot of artists I get to listen to! Keep up the great work! Cheers

[@noblerecords]

Vinyl Finds61 thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@hippydjkit9913]

Cool hippie records here............ Thanks for sharing.......... Sacred Mushroom cover is full on psychedelic but the music is hippie Blues Rock.........I was expecting more psych on a record with that cover........... Nice to see the original USA cover bag............ Greetings from Greece.............

[@noblerecords]

hippydjkit thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@richardfinlayson1524]

when you are tripping blues rock sounds great, if its good quality...

[@DarkSide_Vinyl]

Great job on this video. You and Dots and Loops have helped me expand my listening and helped me to form an actual want list. Because of your part one and some other videos I was able to pick up some fantastic albums while I was on vacation last week. I have been enjoying them since I returned home. I loved your advice at the end. I do get discouraged because I live about an hour away from the nearest record store which is very small and they don't get a lot of old acquisitions. I try to look anytime I have the opportunity but I dont usually have a lot of luck. Anyway, I'm enjoying what I have and do what I can. Keep up the great videos.

[@noblerecords]

Jerry Read thanks man! It takes a lifetime to build a great collection, Dots and loops is amazing, he’s got an incredible collection

[@dannyj77dj]

I love Bubble Puppy 😊

[@Radagast1953]

So do I! This is the first time I've heard Bubble Puppy mentioned on any channel. That's one of my most cherished records. I bought that album right after they played at my high school [New Trier - West, Northfield, IL -- I didn't get to go to the concert 😥, but there were posters all over the school & they played tracks over the PA during lunch]. They got me started on psych rock. 😍

[@p33_rec]

Hi Dillon, Savage Resurrection and Sacred Mushroom are absolutely amazing! The originals are still on my wantlist. This Gun Cover is one of my favorite! Great showings again. Looking forward to part 3! Cheers, Chris

[@noblerecords]

ItsJustPlastic Thanks! They are some of my favorites as well!

[@KurtSlotkowski-hj8jd]

Anxiously awaiting part 3 !

[@the_resident]

Great couple of videos. A couple of these albums I discovered on a psych mix REM Sleep by Dr. Delay. If you haven't haven't heard it it's highly recommended. So good to hear pasych presented in a DJ mix that flows like water. And that Pookah track!

[@chrischocolaad9319]

Nice video. Love the Zombies and Thunder & Roses

[@thevinylsofoz6338]

Great choice of psych records. I was looking for the sacred mushroom album for almost 5 years while I was in Europe. Was the first record I bought online when I moved to the US 3 years ago. Was lucky to get a descent copy for hundred bucks

[@noblerecords]

That’s a great price! It’s highly sought after by many!

[@johnnykawakid]

Great video again man, got half of that albums on vinyl. Great picks. Keep the videos coming. please.thanks

[@BruceCultureAllen]

Great stuff as always

[@mercurialmagictrees]

Yeahh there it is. 10:33 Woo the soft machine. I just ordered it on discogs. I loved learning about the historical background of the band.

[@motorol5610]

Very good conclusion statement! These are all great selections thanks!!!

[@narnalentraffarsparet9482]

I totally agree, 👍

[@jamesauburn]

Found a mint white-label-promo Savage Resurrection in a shop maybe 20+ years ago... eleven bucks. Still got it. Captain Beyond: favorite hard rock album of all time.

[@moonuni]

Modern pyche check out king gizzard and the lizard wizard. And from new Zealand earth tongue.

[@NomNomGohan]

DAMN that May Blitz is CHUNKY. Always can count on ya for some KILLER tunes!

May Blitz is badace and I have it. Spooky Tooth had Gary Wright " My love is Alive"

[@user-xh9rz7rf8l]

I have everyone you showed in this second video, except Frantic. I really appreciated your collection.

[@weloveyouaqua]

Should of had Iron Butterfly one of the premier Psych bands in the US in the 60's.

[@howlindonster6131]

They segued into Captain Beyond..

[@closedchannel2713]

Great collection wow you pretty much have the top must have psychedelic albums. I agree with you the Zombies is a very well done album. I am still looking for Art I have not seen it anywhere in my area. May Blitz has blazing guitar great album.Fantastic collection, Cheers Sean

[@stevesmith2229]

I would add-Dragonwyck-Bulbous Creation-Cold Sun-Arcadium-Andwella's Dream- It's All Meat-Ellison-Clear Blue Sky-Bent Wind-Fresh Blueberry Pancake=Ultimate Spinach-Index-Mystic Siva-Crystal Syphon-Dr. Z-Dryewater-D.R. Hooker-The Elastic Band- The Electric Toilet Fate-Pussy-Fallen Angels-Forever Amber- Fraction-Harsh Reality-The Head Shop-Freeman Sound. If you're a collector--have fun

[@richardfinlayson1524]

DR Z is just a piano trio with long songs worth a hell of a lot because its on vertigo and sold fuck all but its not really that good in my opinion.

[@fra91_]

Just found and purchased one copy of Mighty Baby and one copy of Victor Peraino's Kingdom Come's No Man's Land in my favourite record shop of my hometown in Italy...I always knew it was the best record shop in Europe and when I found these two gems last night on their website it just went to prove I have always been right lol...Both of these are just quite impossible to find... Love your channel man, you got me subscribed very quickly!

[@lynyrdskynyrd7779]

Awesome!

[@johncalarco3728]

Thanks, Will definitely give a listen to some of your picks. My favorite psych album is Hats of Glass by Eela Craig, an Austrian Band. I also am a Zappa fan; I got to see him in 1976.

[@jackattack3840]

You should add the Great Lost Kinks Album to that list and Village Green Society.

[@offthebeatentracks4515]

I have about half of these. Really liked May Blitz. Great intro to a pretty expensive music genre.

[@noblerecords]

Thanks, yeah it can get pricey but it’s fun! 🤣😬

[@richardfinlayson1524]

yeah, got the second al;bum on vertigo but can never afford the first when a copy pops up.

[@KurtSlotkowski-hj8jd]

That May Blitz record, along with their second one, is heavy blues-laden psyche-rock in a similar vein as early Black Sabbath. But crossed over with complex guitar work in a similar vein to "More", "Ummagumma" and "Meddle" era Pink Floyd. As far as the complex guitar work goes, a krautrock band named Gila (1972), also comes to mind upon hearing those first two albums.

[@simond1574]

Great list. I only know and have a handfull of the albums: Magical Mystery Tour, Nuggets, Electric Prunes, Quicksilver Messenger Service, King Crimson, Blue Cheer, 13th Floor Elevators, Love, Velvet Underground, The Zombies, Thunder and roses, T2, Small Faces But as they are all great, I will definitely check out your other recommendations.

[@bobwagner109]

Great video, I have most of these but love to hear yours (and others opinion) about these records. I am very into prog, so when a band crosses the psych\prog line, that is my sweet spot. Thanks for the video.

[@noblerecords]

Bob Wagner no problem! Thanks for watching. I love it all, but I’m a big Prog guy too! I bet you love mighty baby!

[@bobwagner109]

@@noblerecords never heard of that one, but I'll be on the hunt for it. I will cheat a little and find a video first. ;)

[@AyliCarper]

Try Junior's Eyes' album, often called Battersea Power Station. Just on that psych/prog border and has a sweet little three minute Grateful Dead takeoff called Freak In.

[@Radagast1953]

That's where my head is at, too! I have the first 10 or so albums by Soft Machine, all the King Crimson [probably my favorite band of all-time!], New York Rock & Roll Ensemble, Bubble Puppy, first 10 Gentle Giant, etc. I mostly quit buying vinyl in the mid '90s [when my CD collection started overtaking my 2500 vinyl records], but now I'm more focused on movies [~3000 DVD's, BD's & 4K-UHD's 😜].

[@patrickschwalie6949]

Hey Dillon! I really enjoy watching your channel. As I'm coming from and livin' in Germany, I'm really interested if you could make a video with your favourite German records. Best wishes, Patrick

[@linussvensson8005]

Take a shot every time he says phenomenal. 😵❤

[@iblamesummers]

Waiting for part 3.

[@bobburroughs6241]

At last, someone has Savage Resurrection! Bought that when it came out. Had Soft Machine and saw them.

[@rickb9201]

Another great video. Have some and most are on my want list. Think Kak should be on the list. Very seldom here anything about it on the vc for some reason.

[@AyliCarper]

Thank you that Mighty Baby story was very sweet. Too many records to find, spin the ones you already have. Not sure what level part three will be at but I've been playing Spirit of Love by C.O.B. half to death recently.

[@noblerecords]

Andrew Fisher yeah I don’t practice what I preach there, but it’s important to listen to what you have 🤣

[@jasonbaum9376]

The Bubble Puppy rocks!!!!!

[@noblerecords]

Yes!

[@jackattack3840]

Jefferson Airplane is one that i havent seen on peoples list and their the closest you can get to Brian Wilson writing as far as genius goes basically hitting the top of a creative peak.

[@monkeydwarfful]

Great video. Picked up a first 1970 UK press of T2 It'll All Work out In Boomland for about £4 this week and it's knocked me out!! Are you familiar/do you have this?? Such a great heavy psych record.

[@lupcokotevski2907]

Great collection. May I highly recommend a few Australian/New Zealand bands, as good as anything I have ever discovered and very expensive vinyl, if you can find them 1. 'Wide Open' (1971) by Kahvas Jute, with Bob Daisely on bass (Rainbow, Ozzy) and Tim Gaze, a 15 year old guitar prodigy. (Australia). 2. 'Goolutionites and the Real People' (1970) by Tamam Shud with Tim Gaze on guitar. (Australia) 3. 'Scented Gardens for the Blind' (1975) by Dragon. (New Zealand). Also a psych/blues track by a FEMALE, 'Poverty Train' (1968) by the Bronx teenage genius Laura Nyro.

[@lupcokotevski2907]

More Aussie gold I forgot. Cheaper than the albums above at $150 - 250, and with great cover art as well, as with the ones above. Jimmy Page is a big fan of Wide Open because of Daisely's phenomenal bass playing. 'At the Mountains of Madness' (1971) by Blackfeather 'Volcanic Rock' (1973) by Buffalo - this album makes AC/DC sound like soft rock. An influence on US grunge bands.

[@noblerecords]

Yes, wide open is fantastic, wish I had a copy! Thanks for the recommendations!

A month ago I found an original pressing of Sacred Mushroom. For $140. I did t buy it and still think about it. I was on vacation. President of the United States, I struggled with 5hat album, played it twice and put it away. I will have to try it again. I still do not own Odyessy Oracle. Someday. Bubble Puppy- they don’t look Texan. I have seen that and passed it up because I did not like the cover. Now I know about them lol. I am interested in Frantic, looks great. Fun stuff, I hope all is well with you and your family. Steve

The first two Left Banke albums should be mentioned...Steve Tyler plays on the second LP as Steve Talarico.

[@jasonbaum9376]

Try “Another day, Another Lifetime” by The David, Sam Gopal (wait until you see who was in that band), Th West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band, and Plastic Cloud. Keep the videos going. It’s. Ice to see someone who can speak my language, musically speaking.

My main tips would be: Just do it. Start today, it’s easy, relax, be yourself, and enjoy it. That’s all I do. I’m not the most professional, but I just turn the camera on and talk About Records. I don’t plan anything out. Everyone does their own thing. Good luck! Let me know when you upload your first video!

[@mrgonk3060]

Hi Dillon - You often highlight VU featuring Nico, but then neglect to mention White Light White Heat, which is equally superb. Just sayin! I may have missed it elsewhere but Cauldron - 50 Foot Hose would be a recommendation of a cool Psych record way ahead of its time

Yes! You are totally right. I love 50 ft hose, and WLWH. But, I like velvet & Nico a little better. Thanks for watching!

[@merrillhess5626]

I picked up a copy of JK & Co. for 97 cents in a cutout bin in the early 1970s. Love Mighty Baby. Love that cover. They did a second album called A Jug Of Love. It is a bit different. The story goes some of the members met Richard and Linda Thompson and like them became Sufis. That worked into some of the music. BTW - the last lineup of The Action became Mighty Baby. A Jug of Love: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hn-6YYRpmdRmnck The Action playlist: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZWUinqva9CJfZY

[@merrillhess5626]

Joe Byrd was the driving force behind The United States of America. He did one more album as Joe Byrd and the Field Hippies called The American Metaphysical Circus, which takes what he did with The USA to a much higher level. He took full advantage of studio special effects on the first three songs to make some of the trippiest acid psychedelic music of that period. I put it in a class with Mandrake Memorial's Puzzle album, Brainticket's Celestial Oceans, Pearls Before Swine's Balaklava, and Zero Time by Tonto's Expanding Head Band. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5DJoaaBib5lqdk

[@albertguder6605]

well declaring the first Soft Machine as prog is missing the point,the Softs were one of the early British psychedelic bands they appeared at the legendary UFO club in 1966/67 often playing with Pink Floyd,if anything the Softs were certainly more jazz influenced thaN a lot of other band,this first album is certainly a stand out,it has more in common with Terry Riley's minimalism than prog,besides Prog sounds like a disease.and wasnt pscyhedelia about expanding musical horizons and looking beyond the surface?

[@richardfinlayson1524]

prog just means progressive, which all psychedelia is. doesnt really matter what you call it, a lot of so called prog is jazz rock.

[@tebpixels3409]

If you think Captain Beyond is in the King Crimson realm, you might check if there is something wrong with your set up...🤔

[@noblerecords]

They are both progressive rock. Didn’t say they were the same band by any means

[@tebpixels3409]

@@noblerecords Oh i know you didn't. And we can discuss until we're blue in the face with no resolution what is and isn't progressive rock. But imo CB is more in the blues based hard rock genre, while KC is probably one of the most experimental rock/blues/jazz bands there ever was. Just haven't thought that they were in the same landscape at all, but if you do that's fine 😊

Hey man, some great titles here and several I've not heard of, which I will look up. Have you ever heard the self titled album by Fresh Blueberry Pancake? Originals are virtually non existent, but there are re-issues. Judging by what you like, this will blow you away (unless you know it already).

Great records... though you seem to have a very wide definition for what constitutes 'psych'

[@noblerecords]

neuroisis85 yeah. It’s a tough thing to put a finger on. Like I said in the video, they might not all be 100% psych, but are all great records I would recommend anyone wanting to go deeper then regular ol classic rock.

Noble - Great video! I'm a new subscriber. I'll be checking out parts 1&3 next. Check out my replies to a couple of other comments, especially about Bubble Puppy, one of my most cherished albums. In reference to Gun, I found back then that one of the surest signs I would like an album I saw in the store, but had not heard, was if it had a cover by Roger Dean! 😍 He is one of my favorite artists and I have a majority of albums he did covers for, as documented in "The Album Cover Album" [I think that's right], a coffee table book about album cover art [I have a similar book that just covers Roger Dean art]. I once saw Roger Dean's original mural for the artwork of the Yes album "Relayer". It covered a huge wall at an exhibition at the Directors Guild headquarters in LA [Hollywood?] in the mid/late 90's. Anyway, Gun, Jade Warrior, Budgie, and several other excellent bands are ones I discovered because of Roger Dean's magnificent artwork! 😍

Giles, Giles, and Fripp were essentially King Crimson. When you look at the line up on Cheerful Insanity and the Brondsbury Tapes the lineup is almost the same. On one of the albums, Ian MacDonald does a couple of early renditions of I Talk To The Wind. BTW - The G in Giles is soft and pronounced like Jiles. Check out a post-Crimson album called McDonald and Giles, which features the two Giles brothers and Ian McDonald. It continues the G, G &F kind of odd whimsicality with some great prog and some symphonic rock. P.S. - After that album, McDonald joined Foreigner.
