The "Dino Valente Rare Psyche 1968 CBS63443 Orange CBS (UK) original" refers to the sought-after first UK pressing of Dino Valente's sole solo album, a legendary psychedelicfolk LP known for its dreamy, reverb-heavy sound, recorded with producer Bob Johnston and featuring introspective, hazy tracks, making it a cult classic among collectors for its
rarity and unique '60s vibe, despite Valente's association with Quicksilver Messenger Service and his famous song "Get Together".
Key Details:
- Artist: Dino Valente (real name Chester Powers).
- Album: Dino Valente (self-titled).
- Year: 1968.
- Label: UK release on Orange CBS.
- Catalog Number: CBS 63443.
- Genre: Psychedelic Folk, Folk Rock, Acid Folk.
- Significance: A rare, highly-regarded cult album, often compared to Skip Spence's Oar. It features Valente's unique voice, reverb-drenched 12-string guitar, and
- stream-of-consciousness lyrics, capturing the essence of the late '60s San Francisco scene.
- Rarity: The UK original is particularly valued by collectors, sometimes pressed on heavier vinyl than the US version.
Why it's "Rare Psyche":
- Cult Status: Despite being commercially unsuccessful at the time, its idiosyncratic sound and Valente's troubled history (including time with Quicksilver Messenger Service and
- drug issues) cemented its legendary status.
- Unique Sound: It's characterized by "hippyisms," melancholy, and a distinctive atmospheric quality, differing from more structured folk-rock.
- Collectibility: The 1968 UK pressing on Orange CBS is a specific, sought-after original release for collectors of vintage psychedelic vinyl.
