Though these second and third albums from the Watchband include tracks reportedly not featuring the band, whoever did play on them still produced a real psychedelic experience and here it is, off master tape and both albums on CD, for the first time. Tracks " Voyage Of The Trieste", "In The Past - Inner Mystique - I'm Not Like Everybody Else - Medication", "Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go", " Baby Blue", and many more psyche classics
Exact reissue of the essential '60s psych punk classic by this San Jose garage band. Every track is a winner from the teen arrogance of "Let's Talk About Girls" through the rebellious "Are you Gonna Be There (At The Love In)" to the downright weird "Darkside Of The Mushroom". Ya gotta have it!
Landmark US psychedelic garage punk from 1967. This San Jose bands' debut album is a classic of its kind including the hits "Let's Talk About Girls" and "Are You Gonna Be There (At The Love in)" plus the trippy instrumentals "Dark Side Of the Mushroom" and "Expo 2000". Comes with 8 additional bonus tracks.
Underrated last album by the famous San Franciscan Garage band. Adopting a more typical late '60's acid rock sound, The Chocolate Watchband sounded like Moby Grape on this, their final voyage with chiming guitars and layered harmony vocals. An exact repro in the original sleeve....
