Anyone who knows me will tell you that I couldn't pass up on a record called Psychedelic Lollipop.
Blues Magoos - Psychedelic Lollipop (Mercury 1966)
I don't recall where I got this. Perhaps Red Brontosaurus in San Diego. I got one of the Blues Magoos albums there. Possibly the follow up Electric Comic Book.
The record is great relic of that time between garage rock and full blown hippie-acid music. It is reported to be the first record with the word 'psychedelic' in the title. I'd buy a psychedelic anything from this period.
The outfits scream psychedelic, but the 'meet the band' section seems more Tiger Beat than Rolling Stone.
Ralph - Quiet, Shy, Good Looking, plays his organ while singing.
Ronnie - Loud, Funny, Lazy. plays bass
Peppy - An Idol, Lovable, "17", Drop-out, plays rhythm guitar
Mike - Psyched Out, Warm, Friendly, Rich, plays lead guitar.
Geoff - Blonde, Beautiful, Straight, plays drums.
I feel like I know them all. I'm a Ronnie - loud, funny and lazy. Which one are you?
The records must have stayed in print for quite some time as this pressing is on the god-awful Chicago skyline label which Mercury didn't unveil until 1974.
Much as I like to sing while I play my organ, I may be more of a Ronnie myself as well
