Rare British Pressing
C.A. QUINTET
A TRIP THRU HELL
...UK - Psycho Records - #12
Rare 25+ years ago British issued PSYCHO Records pressing of ultra rare and sought after 1969 TOP FLIGHT Minnesota garage/psych MONSTER.... this issue has become very scrace and little seen so many years later...
The C.A. Quintet’s Trip Thru Hell is one of the most unique LPs from the 60s. It was a small indie pressing of under 500 from the Candy Floss label, making it a very rare 1969 release. Originals will set you back a pretty penny (possibly over $2,000) but is worth considering the UK Psycho Records version.
Prior to this LP, the Minneapolis-based C.A. Quintet had released a few respectable, though restrained, garage rock singles. Then something tweaked in the mind of Ken Erwin, the mastermind behind the Quintet, and the band’s frat rock would become infused with a dark, weird edge. The Trip came housed in a classic, striking jacket and was a truly original acid concept album chronicling the hells of earth. It’s an album that takes you into another world, another mind, and there are some deep, lysergic excursions to behold. The title track is a 9-minute instrumental with a prominent bass groove, angelic and eerie background vocals, shimmering organ, a suprisingly effective phased drum solo, and demented guitar distortions. The track may not sound as demonic as its title implies, but it was unlike anything recorded before or since, and certainly worth the trip. ”Cold Spider” has Ken Erwin screaming his lungs out over some nice whacked out raga leads and Hendrix-style feedback. They bust out the brass for “Colorado,” “Sleepy Hollow Lane,” “Smooth As Silk,” “Trip Thru Hell (Part 2)” and “Underground Music,” which are dark oddities and compelling highlights.
Listening to this record may be an overwhelming experience for many, so it’s definitely rated as a monster of the 60's psych scene. It’s pure psychedelia with a strong vision, and does not fit the ‘incredibly strange music’ tag at all, while still being 'out there'. The C.A. Quintet were an engmatic band that was full of life but by the end of the 60s they faded into obscurity.
