You showed me this album before. Really interesting.

Yeah thought you just checked out the debut. Both have Bosch paintings for art

Oh I’m mixing it up with the debut. I’ll check this out.

Ngl it's only just kind of occuring to me now how controversial it was to start their opus with Back In The USSR after having spent the last year studying the history of Russia and its relationship with the west Czechoslovakia had just been invaded

another game changing aspect of Easy Rider was the use of a bunch of contemporary hit songs (which Dennis Hopper easily convinced the labels to let him use because it was unheard of and they didnt realize what they were handing him), most of which were on the radio in '68 when they were filming it. Man just shot whole scenes around some classics

only version i wanna hear

cool song the german introducer though

@RVI proto quiz no cheating

i couldnt tell without looking it up

recorded some cool demos, early version of Melissa can feel the baby steps to full Allman glory

before they joined the band just Trucks there

two of the absolute best albums of all time were both released on this day in '68

"this is a rather crazy track. i just wanted to get one to sound as horrible as it could. i wanted a rude sound - and i got it"

2nd best western of the year

1st best Ennio adding Beck style guitar fuzz to the mix was a tremendous idea

couple swedish epics @RVI

did i already link you these guys at one point maybe not because i thought it might be too wanky tbh

debut single of one of the widely ackowledged goats of Latin American rock, Spinetta. aged 18

b-side:

Same day kinks clear

South American coworkers f***in love this guy

i think theyre on the right side of history

Imagine being a rock fan that day more or less tied for me, depends on the day

i dont recall. i never consider this type of tasteful, slow motion soloing wank. More in the Quicksilver realm

maybe not the one that insists the '73 chilean coup was for the best of the country after telling me to get into Victor Jara who was tortured to death over several days

how about this nice fuzzy offering from '68

the darker and heavier psych starting to come into the scene this year along with the rise of hard rock. next few years will be fruitful for this
