Hapshash And The Coloured Coat - Featuring The Human Host And The Heavy Metal Kids. LP. (Akarma - AK 204) Widely regarded as one of the most psychedelic UK releases ever made - right down to the amazing artwork - this 1967 album was the debut musical offering of the designers Michael English and Nigel Waymouth with members of Art (and possibly the odd Rolling Stone). Full of long stoned freakout jams with trippy effects and lyric poetry, this is truly an awesome artefact that resembles an entire '60's LSD trip. Housed in a beautiful reproduction of the original psychedelic sleeve and pressed on 180 gram red vinyl.

Hapshash And The Coloured Coat - Featuring The Human Host And The Heavy Metal Kids / Western. CD. (Minority Records - MINOR. 275) Great CD that contains both the legendary albums by Hapshash - The first is widely regarded as one of the most psychedelic UK releases ever made - right down to the artwork - this 1967 album was the debut musical offering of the designers Michael English and Nigel Waymouth with members of Art (and possibly the odd Rolling Stone). Full of long stoned freakout jams with trippy effects and lyric poetry, this is truly an awesome artefact that resembles an entire '60's LSD trip.The second album, from 1969, again featured a bunch of underground heavy friends including Tony McPhee of the Groundhogs. Less spacey than their first album, this melds folk, acid rock and blues influences with a great deal of studio trickery such as feedback, phasing etc. Both albums are fascinating relics of a bygone era.
