Psychedelic Schlemiels, Vol. 4
The fourth volume of Wooden Hills acclaimed series of unreleased-at-the-time British psychedelic pop artefacts, PSYCHEDELIC SCHLEMIELS 4 gathers up twenty acetates, demos and private recordings from the soft white underbelly of the late 60s group scene. Major discoveries this time around include a live-from-Swedish TV track from legendary London underground club band Jade Hexagram, two unreleased recordings from Bulldog Breed and a near-seven minute acetate-only version of Jason Crests much-loved Black Mass. With fascinating unreleased material by VU/Nico-loving Surrey teens the Velvet Frogs, High Wycombe underground warriors Respect and songwriter David Matthews (the man who wrote Matt Monros countercultural anthem Were Gonna Change The World), PSYCHEDELIC SCHLEMIELS 4 is an essential purchase for all admirers of vintage British psych-pop.
