Description

ELMER GANTRY'S VELVET OPERA - S/T - PSYCH - NEW VINYL LP - EXCELLENT!!!

 Intro Mother Writes Mary Jane But I Was Cool Walter Sly Meets Bill Bailey Air Lookin' For A Happy Life Flames What's The Point Of Leaving Long Nights Of Summer Dream Starts Reactions Of A Young Man Now She's Gone  

This is a really cool criminally under rated British psych rock album from the 60's. Like a healthy stylistic combination of Piper era Floyd and Sgt Pepper's era Beatles, Gantry's Velvet Opera record one of the better British Psych releases of the 60's.

Every song has some fantastic and catchy vocal hooks and quality instrumentation, very much riding the British psych sound of the time but pulling it off better than most of their underground contemporaries. There is an eclectic amount of styles and the band seem to sound like all of the popular British psych acts of the time sounding like The Zombies on "Long Nights Of Summer", like The Pretty Things on "Mary Jane" like Traffic on "Dream Starts" and like The Move on "Now She's Gone" and yet they retain a particular accent distinct of their own through it all and it truly is impressive the range of their psych pop/rock sensibility.

While it's the brilliant catchy vocal hooks that make the album, when the band plays "Walter Sly Meets Bill Bailey" which is a great instrumental psych rock jam they show they are just proficient without the vocals and every member of this band is very talented. I haven't done much research in to it but it's a complete mystery to me as to why this band is so unknown and under appreciated, this is definitely one of the better underground 60's psych albums you will find.
