GREAT lp!
edansamplepsych
great lp? YES
psych? NO
Ha Ha! I was just gonna say that.
That is quintessesntial American garage rock right there. I will say it's on the psych end of that spectrum, the same way that the first Love LP is.
Can I get a psych ruling on Forever Changes? Psych or not Psych?
No? I dunno... I would call that psych. More psych than a lot of the stuff already mentioned. Whatevs.
DJ Ferrari
I would say Music Machine contains the "Seeds*" of psych music, with some effects, and the farfisa, etc....Bonniwell Music Machine stuff that came after is DEFINITELY Psych.
*pun intended - did anyone mention the damn Seeds yet? They're like the OG Psych heads, right with the 13th Floor boys!
H.P. Lovecraft
Not essential, but I dig it. Don't hear too much about it though.
Also, I'm forgetting the title of the psych mix that a Floridian (i believe) soulstrutter made and sold. I still rock it every so often. Starts off with Black Mass/Lucifer...Can...US69... great tracks overall.

Ok, here's where I draw lines:
First 13th Floor Elevators= Garage rock w/heavy Psych leanings
Easter Everywhere=PSYCH
Music Machine Talk Talk=Garage rock w/heavy Psych leanings
Bonniwell's Music Machine= PSYCH w/heavy garage leanings
Seeds 1st LP= garage rock
Sky Saxon LPs= PSYCH
Chocolate Watchband 1st LP=garage rock w/heavy psych leanings
The Inner Mystique= PSYCH
Love Da Capo= garage rock w/Byrds-y leanings
Love Forever Changes= garage folk pop w/heavy psych leanings

I'm with this
I mean, it was really just a fad that hit at a certain time and looking at the discographies of these groups you'll see that when Sgt Peppers and Satanic Majesties get released all these other groups release their 'psych' record immediately after...

Bee Gees(Horizontal)
Hollies(Evolution)
Easybeats(what was the name of theirs? shit.)

seriously, tho folks, I just picked up this book for $10 on clearance at a local Borders, it's a UK book with MANY obscure psych LPs I had never seen before, many of the sloppy hand drawn variety as well as many discussed here. TheMack, I would go and search that out. Sure it's got a lot of 'classic rock' dollarbin stuff too, but it has a nice variety and it's British!
if you want to be schooled on psych essentials, you should check this book out (sorry for the huge jpeg)
it's a collection of issues of this zine about psychedelic music and culture. really informative and easy to just flip through and read, visually stimulating as well.
you can buy it online at forced exposure or the drag city site. comes with a CD.
