some of Kirby's 7"s



Some really really outstanding cuts on this cassette (inhale). Some flowery (I keep playing the Oracle, Bhagavad Gita/National Gallery, MC2 and Endel St. Cloud tracks over and over especially), some with a "real people" vibe (Captain Groovy, Chosen Few, UGE), some garage psych (Abstract Sound's take on the 96's Tear's riff) and some proto-acid rock (Brass Toad)...some period lyrics, some tambourines, some organs and lots and lots of guitars with some phazers and wha wha and fuzz tones that'll make your flesh melt into a pool at your feet... (exhale)...I suppose at this point some 15 years since this tape was made there's been some comped and some not but then at this point in the evening I don't really care...
all's I know is some are really awesome and some are just awe / some .
(cough)...

hi, this is amazing.
y'know i think i've got a bunch of tapes from the same person. (as the electric mushroom voyage) i think he did another series of 2 casettes called "pandora's box" all top drawer ultra rare uk psych 5 and freakbeat..which doesn't raise an eyebrow these days (with the cd re-ish market's late 90's flooding) but these were made about 13 years before ANYONE started re-issuing 'em. (i know i'd been hunting the 45's or comp versions down ever since)

Could be.
It's amazing how happy and lucky I was to hear these at the time and how now it's shrugged off with a click - everything is "available". Better in the long run I suppose.

link updated, enjoy.
