[@robval1308]

Moody Blues In Search Of The Lost Chord and Days Of Future Past are essentials

[@Sbeals1978]

"When I'm in a Psychedelic mood" I hear what you're sayin' Dawg.

[@sjofors4391]

So happy to see Ogdens in the background, I don’t see it too often in psych circles. SF is probably my favourite band, just great.

[@eb4305]

Dude, your videos take three times as long for me to view than any other youtube creator. First I see a band I've never heard of, have to go look them up and listen to the record you showed, check discogs and spit out my beer at the prices, rinse wash repeat. Thanks for expanding my musical horizons man!

[@enders357]

Same. I've usually added five bands to my "need to check out" note in the Notes app, favourited a bunch of albums on Spotify, and bought three records off Discogs before the end of a Noble Records video.

[@xyz77744]

Hahaha. Same problem here.

[@bodensick]

Thanks for mentioning the Bee Gees. Their first LP (standing in mushroom field) was pretty trippy, too. Hey, they weren't always about "Stayin' Alive"

[@BlinDefender]

Yeah, the Bee Gees were really good at adapting to the times to maintain relevance. They were ultimate "Profession Musicians," able to excel in multiple genres.

[@aminoto-3]

I always liked their album Trafalgar, it was a bit like their version of the Beach Boys Smiley Smile.

[@jimmymelendez1836]

I agree with you. I never knew the Bee Gees were a 60's group that did Psychedelic, Baroque Pop music. I used to have the box set that had their first 3 albums that I had to sell for personal reasons but would like to rebuy. I got it at f.y.e. for like 20 bucks or so. It was all in digipack form. It had the albums in mono and stereo. And some outtakes and stuff. It came out in the 2000's but I got it around like 2013. I had a compilation CD of their hits back in the early 2000's. That's when I listened to their early hits. I just love the Bee Gees.

[@norafox1319]

Heeheeheehahaha!!good one..

[@johnm4875]

Great video, I have 95% of these. I've been collecting vinyl since the early 60s (and before)(I'm 72). If you haven't already checked out the Chambers Brothers Time Has Come Today and the Lemon Pipers Green Tambourine album, not all bubblegum. Side two - 50 Year Void goes into Through With You. - it will blow your mind.

[@KushTime420]

Chamber brothers are good

[@kenmotley5316]

Had fun and I really enjoyed this video! Well done! The Cactus album sounds intriguing to me. Again, well done.

[@Mr_two]

I've seriously been looking for videos like yours thanks so much!!

[@alexspinsvinyl5391]

Thanks for making this video! Psych is one of those genres I've been wanted to get into more so thanks so much for the recommendations!

[@iainwakefield1340]

Great vid Dylan. Been looking to get more Psych in my collection and this is a great guide!

[@13axtula]

This is awesome, I needed an intro to psych. Great job man!

[@johngaldieri5535]

Perhaps my favorite video of yours to date - keep up the awesome videos!! Northern New Jersey loves ya :)

[@MadMaxBS]

Huge psych nerd and just discovered your channel. This is a great list man! Especially for folks new to the world of psychedelic music. I've heard of most of these records but I've probably only listened to about half, but this video definitely gave me the itch to dive back in! One of my favorite psych albums that you don't hear mentioned enough is Smiley Smile by the Beach Boys (1967). Definitely in the "psychedelic pop" region more than rock but it is thoroughly trippy and the melodies are beautiful (it's the Beach Boys of course!). Another favorite lesser known gem for is the the self-titled debut by Os Mutantes (1967). Those guys were a band in Brazil that were hugely inspired by all the psych stuff coming from the US and UK and so they did their own album, and it's nuts. Some very pretty pop moments, rock moments, Latin rhythms, and some good psychedelic weirdness as well (those guys definitely did drugs lol). They did a couple good ones after that too but the first one is my favorite. I'm definitely subscribing dude, love to see fellow psych heads sharing some good music.

[@marcusweil6778]

I spent most of my teens looking for *that* kind of music, i didn't know what i was looking for but i found stuff like the white stripes and the strokes and all those bands and kinda quit searching. later in my late teens i started my hunt again for *that* sound, and, lo and behold i found the world of garage psych. such incredible music and exactly what i spent most of my early teens searching for. about two years ago, now in my mid twenties, i finally started to get the paychecks that allowed me to start collecting vinyl, wish i had found this then, but even now i'm happy i found this vid. so many rad bands and albums i hadn't heard before. great stuff, instantly clicked the subscribe button after finishing watching.

[@rustic_tones]

Awesome video Dillon. Some familiar and better yet a bunch of new to me stuff to check out. Thank you!

[@sandsy04]

Nicely done, man! All killer, no filler!

[@HighnoonsVinyl]

Have to agree on most of what you were showing, tons of great killer psych. There are so many levels it's good to kinda break down some staples and what they are known for. Definitely been trying to add as many of the cheaper records I can before going into more expensive territory. Hope you keep the concept going.

[@elysesimpson3999]

New favorite channel. Absolutely brilliant videos. Please do an upcoming video on on how you catalog your collection xo

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Nice showings man. I still need to get several of those.

[@Localbandography]

Great video man. Hoping to find some more The Soft Machine and David Axelrod this year of what you have there on display. Love the cover on the Jefferson Airplane you showed.

[@christopherkibler511]

Dillon, love seeing that Mighty Baby behind you. Maybe one day I will find one. Part 2 of this video should be good! Thanks, Chris

[@pommelhorsepommelhorse8731]

thanks. that was fun. also thanks for including the SF bands - tho I'll take After Bathing at Baxters over Surrealistic Pillow as psych. the honourable mention of Forever Changes was also appreciated.

[@FlipSideCT]

nice job showing these......did not realize, but saw you group some artists in the category I would not have thought of as psych. But I can see why.

[@freddiemoore3033]

Great video, one of my favourite rare and underrated psych albums is 'Loosen Up Naturally' by The Sons of Champlin released in 1969. Brilliant mix of psych rock and pop with a bit of jazz thrown in for good measure, well worth a listen

[@josephfrey2112]

This is one of the best vids you've made

[@valuevinyl110]

This was a great idea and a great video. I wanted to know more about this genre and it is appreciated. The one you showed that I want to start with is the Arthur Brown. I hope I can find it at a good price. I know Fire and I have heard that the rest of the album can be pretty bizarre.. I like Bizarre. I know I amg oing to struggle to find good Psych for $2 and under... but that is the fun of my challenge!

[@jimmymelendez1836]

Dude, great video. I love Psychedelic music. It's such a great genre. These bands do such great experimentation with the sound of the record. I heard Jimi Hendrix's first album and it truly blew my mind. His last song on his debut album, Are You Experienced? was such a trippy song I've ever heard. OMG!

[@horrortrailervault]

you should make a spotify playlist with all of your favourite tracks off of these albums...i would listen

[@sciencebunnies]

This video is relevant to my interests.

[@jjquinn2004]

Great video, very informative. Having been a teenager in the late 60s, I was really glad to see a lot of those albums. And yes, the “Crazy World of Arthur Brown” is crazy. Not something you’d put on the turntable while watching a romantic sunset with a sundowner cocktail in your hand, but a great choice nonetheless.

[@bodensick]

Glad you mentioned Steve Miller. His first two albums were psych based. He had Boz Skaggs in his original band. Great video

[@joelynch4698]

Awesome video. I love Nugent too. A lot of new music to explore.

[@LeighStLouis]

Don’t mind me watching old videos of yours. Just got finished listening to Emerge by The Litter and was reminded of this video. Also, hilarious that the thumbnail for this video captioned you as saying ‘Dill from Elba Records’ 😂

[@antoniogonzales3476]

Great video, I was a teenager and bought a lot of these albums when they first came out. Still have them and play them

[@xibalbadoom1837]

I’ve literally just started buying records after many years of wanting to start a collection, and my first batch of albums I got was the doors self titled and Jefferson airplane surrealistic pillow as my 2 first psych records among others in different genres! But it’s good to know I’m going in the right direction!!

[@mikezags0816]

Great video brother. I need to get a cactus record , carmine appice on drums! Those electric prunes and moby great are awesome !!

[@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147]

Dillion, that was a fascinating video. I have a lot of the music you showed but never thought of it as psych. It does make sense that a lot of the garage rock bands would be lumped into the group. Very cool you found an original Nuggets. I bought the CD and then the box set which I have used as a guide to buy a lot of music. Rhino then released Children of Nuggets which was more garage and psych from the 80s. Real interesting stuff. Cactus was interesting to see in this group. I would agree that the price on a lot of this psych is a little crazy and the music can really suck. I just got a couple books that deal with all of this type of music that was made from 65-75 which is quite fascinating. Great content, thanks for doing this. Also I feel much better that your chair is back, huge thank you lol. Steve

[@mrhoffame]

Power Of Zeus and Soft Machine. Two of my favorites right there. That OMR Doors and Japanese Floyd are AWESOME!! That Fever Tree was one of the first Psych records I ever got. The song Where Do You Go is truly the blueprint of the perfect Psych sound to me.

[@owenmanuela6949]

My goodness Dillon that is an amazing collection you have behind you. I only have half of what you've got collecting them wasn't on my mind just loved the music back then, haves to say Poobah and Parish Hall are two of my Favourites

[@davidbeckerich]

I love the video, I can't wait for part 2. You should have been born in the mid 50's so that you could be primed for all the great 60's bands, you seem to dig that era.

[@kodakid59]

Great Info! I have a lot of those records! Didn't know they were Psych!

[@DJThinK707]

This is your best vid man. Really great. A lot of "ummms" though.

[@nesster97]

Thanks for the shoutout in the description! I appreciate that. You showed a great stack of Psych. I love Ted Nugent, too. I agree, he’s a funny guy and yes, he’s amazing on guitar. Wow, OG Elevators, that’s cool.

[@nesster97]

Noble Records 😂😂 good one!

[@dotsloops7486]

Great video Dillion! Some sage Psych advice man. All killer and thanks for the shoutout man! Good hunting out there! Cheers.

[@curvg1]

Would definitly add The Yellow Payges - s/t and Clear Light- s/t to the "great but cheap"-list! And don't forget about Country Joe first two albums! Great video as always, even for an advanced psych-listener like me there were some new things you showed i need to check out!

[@Tysman909]

Great video. Had to turn up the volume to hear yah :)

[@pandstar]

T2 - It'll All Work Out in Boomland ! Must have! It beautifully straddles the line between prog and psych. Blazing guitar work. The side long 2nd side track is a masterpiece of psych.

[@mfasiscrackbeats3543]

great vid and collection👍🏾

[@statictraveller]

This was an excellent intro to good, affordable psych. You're right that not all psych is great. A lot of albums have one or two great tracks and a fair bit of average material and can still cost mega bucks. Sometimes, only the cover is psychedelic! Anyway, a great, very informative video which should prove helpful to a lot of people. Cheers. Alan

[@1m2a3t4t5]

Static Traveller Your pretty accurate there, I agree with you.

[@ilijaradovanov3263]

Great introduction to psych. Cheers from Serbia!!!

[@donaldfortin9274]

In 1966-67, I attended Armijo Union Hi School in Fairfield about 45 mins from The Fillmore West in SF. Saw many bands but Thirteenth Floor Elevator, Canned Heat and Hot Tuna we’re our scene. Your videos are spot on. Glad to be here with you.

[@noblerecords]

Wow that’s amazing!

[@AyliCarper]

This is a great video. It's so good to hear someone say it's all right to say you've never heard something before and that you don't have to spend a fortune. My first psych record was the single of Sunshine Superman by Donovan for 50p when I was 16 and I still think it's hard to touch. Why do you miss out singles? If you ever fall into the garage web singles are the only way out. Great to hear support for Fever Tree Ambit Dukes Eric Button and Arthur Brown. Hard to name anything when you have Soft Machine's best album looking over your shoulder. I used to write for a psych fanzine in the nineties which once wrote "If you don't prefer Satanic Majesties to Sergeant Pepper we're not really sure why you're reading this."

[@BlueFoxAwesome]

I’m jealous of all those albums behind you, especially July!

[@BlueFoxAwesome]

Oh also have you ever checked out Future by The Seeds? That’s definitely their most psychedelic album compared to Web of Sound and their debut

[@BOBBRADLEYCHANNEL]

Great video excellent choices and tips! I wish I knew about your videos when I first started collecting it would have saved me a lot of money and heartache! Oh well lol

[@closedchannel2713]

Great showing, to this day I don’t understand why that Fever Tree album is not rated higher in psychedelic collections. I absolutely love that record and I grabbed it for six bucks. Cheers Sean

[@waynepalka2609]

Some other psych records I love. United States of America. -Velvet underground White Light White Heat. It’s a beautiful day-marrying maiden. Curved Air-air conditioning

[@e-r1955]

Fun video. Thanks man.

[@bobburroughs6241]

Great selection.

[@TheDigitalGramophone]

Great video, man! Could’ve used it 10 years ago. 😂 Because a lot of these albums were more affordable then. Looking forward to Part 2, when you tell us about the VG++ OG Nico & VU that you bought for $2 from an old man who just found it in a stack of Herb Alpert albums in the attic of his home.

[@kristoffer5771]

Amazing video. Thanks! I want an obscure Psych video.

[@toneyisaiah408]

Sir, Thanks for showing off those psychedelic albums.

[@lastoftheboomers9600]

Fun hearing the names of all these bands I haven't thought of in years. Never heard of Cactus. Will check them out!

[@KurtSlotkowski-hj8jd]

Features drummer Carmine Appice (from Vanilla Fudge) and guitarist Jim McCarty (from Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels - and not to be confused with drummer of the same name from the Yardbirds). Yeah, I'd highly recommend the album you seen here (which was Cactus's second album) and their first one. Excellent guitar-driven blues rock. Almost like good theme music for road trips in the dry, arid desert regions of Arizona.

[@marc3968]

Just wanted to say thanks for showing me Fever Tree!

[@krystaltee9769]

Man, you're the best at what you do 🏆🏅🥇

[@noblerecords]

Thank you!

[@bodensick]

I love you man. Lenny Kaye's original "Nuggets" album. Many people have forgotten about this original introduction into psych.

[@cdshull]

Speaking of Electric Prunes and psych, I recommend "Mass In F Minor". And, anything by Roky Erickson!

[@walterfechter8080]

Prince Albert ("The Wind Blows Through Your Hair") The Amazing Charlatans, The Blues Magoos, The Thirteenth Floor Elevators, The Pretty Things, The Factory, The Nazz, KAK, The Ultimate Spinach, The Chocolate Watchband, The Blues Project, The Orange Wedge, The Mystic Tide, The Fly Bi Nites, THE LEMON DROPS ("Sometime Ago"), The Byrds (early stuff), Donovan ("The Trip").

[@easydiddit]

You nailed it! Look to his left, you will see a copy of "Bubble Puppy'... "Hot Smoke And Sassafrass". I don't feel a need to trip anymore, then again, It was fun while it lasted. It sure was. Oh my...

[@aminoto-3]

One of the things I love about your channel is the anticipation wondering what you will pull up next.. as you seem to lean towards the heavier rock side of psych I’m waiting to see if you will ever include the self titled Savage Resurrection album or the self titled Juicy Lucy album.. would really appreciate hearing your views on those two.. anyhoo, keep up the great work, love & peace.

[@noblerecords]

I do love both those bands!

[@jollyroger3095]

Thanks for putting this out. Several you showed I have seen others post but did not catch how they fell into the rock genera. I agree with you on Ted Nugent. Underrated & taken for granted. Have his "solo" releases & now working on the Amboy Dukes.

[@paularmstrong6078]

Randy Holden’s solo album Population II is incredible. Had New Improved! but sold it as couldn’t stand side 1, but side 2 with Randy, is ‘killer’.

[@MrFrog-yg9dp]

"Hey guys, let's start this guide off by listing all the other channels that did the same exact thing" No, but really- after finding this channel through a yard sale haul video I wanted to get more into psych because I have a large-ish collection of classic rock and I wanted to branch out but didn't know where to start. Thanks for this starter guide, I think it'll really help me out

[@mercurialmagictrees]

Very cool video. I wish you would have talked about the soft machine. I just found out about them and I'm looking to buy the original pressing.

[@letsplayclassicgames5024]

Also think it would be cool to see a video about early heavy records (if you are into that stuff), which could cover proto punk and metal stuff like Blue Cheer, MC5, The Stooges, ect To things like Boulder Damn, Lucifers Friend, Budgie, ect.

Born in 1958. Just turned 60 this year. I've been collecting original psyche records since the 60's when I first became a Beatle and Stones fan. And then later in the early 70s when I was a teenager.. Every fuckin album you named here, for people just getting into psyche are absolutely right. Unbelievable! You mentioned Kinks Village Green? My favorite Kinks album. And You got it right. It is psychedelic. I have all of those records you showed but now my old ones are real worn so I have them some on cd. When I can get them on cd. FrankFromThe70s

[@frankny4947]

You maybe can mention the year that each album came out as you describe them. I know all the years, and it was always real important to me. So maybe the kids might like to know. That's real important. And If you know where the band is from maybe mention it. That's not AS important though. It's cool to do that if you can. Otherwise, killer video, and choices. I can't think of much you left out except from Texas in the 60's, These 2 bands and albums... 'The Red Crayola' 'Parable of Arable Land', and ZZ Top's Billy Gibbon's first band "The Moving Sidewalks' the album called 'Flash' .... 2 mindblowers like '13th floor Elevators'. Also your honorable mention are 2 of the best ever Psyche albums in History. FrankFromThe70s

[@JGYokohama1]

The Litter's first album has modern reissues... I found a 90s copy for under $10. Good list! Looking forward to part 2. Is that the recent Leaf Hound reissue? I was thinking of picking it up.

[@TheVinylverse]

This was great Dillon! Very informative. I'm in my psych collecting infancy so this was a very good video for someone like me to watch. I'm looking forward to part 2. I'd have to think that Psych Rock can be one of the more expensive genre's to collect since there's so much rare stuff. But I'm ok with starting slow and picking up reissues and of course sampling before buying. Although I just broke that rule when I came across the self titled Beast album from 1969. It was reasonable and looked interesting. Luckily I like it. Are you familiar with that one? I never see it in the VC. Good stuff Dillon. Have a great week! -Bill

[@big_burly_bro]

I like how the name is BEAST! but the music is far from beastly. It's a light fun psychedelic jazz rock pop goodness. Rare find in the wild.

[@carlnanny5541]

More of a Blues Rock but on the cusp....The Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation-Doctor Dunbar's Prescription. Lucky to have a mono og press. When I'm stuck with a record to spin I'll usually throw it on and work on a project.

[@marcallen6987]

Hi Dillon. Great video as usual. Was surprised to see Cactus and Frijid Pink and some others in your pickup as I would classify more into blues rock or 70s hardrock. It is always difficult for me to classify and as you comment at the end does not care as long Music is great. I own many of them. Have reissue of Leaf Hound and Power of Zeus you show on the shelves and would love to get July, Soft Machine and Dragonfly. Was wondering if Dragonfly is an original as it is really rare?

[@codyfromhumanresources6435]

My buddy bought fever tree for me for Christmas because he thought it looked cool and looked like something I would like... I immediately fell in love with that band

Thanks Dillon for turning me on to Cactus. Just what the doctor ordered. I enjoy guitar riffs. You are the first channel I subbed and glad I did. Would you identify Jeff Beck, Tommy Bolin or Smashing Pumpkins as Psych?
