1967 MINTY (((MONO))) West Coast GARAGE HIPPIES LP            

     The WEST COAST LOVE IN 

                              ...USA - Vault Records - SLP 113 MONO

BEAUTIFUL MINT Original 1967 RARE MONO VINYL first pressing in CLEAN M- condition ...The cool California hippie flavored album features three bands with the happening sounds of 1967

The rare mono mix not only offers different song mixes from the stereo release, but as well, comtains a bold punchy sound production that is suitable for 'garage' sounds of the sixties...

This West Coast garage/psych artifact includes ALL RARE tracks recorded by Peanut Butter Conspiracy for Vault records before they signed for Columbia. It also includes track by The Ashes who included a number of musicians who went on to form Peanut Butter Conspiracy as well as cool scarce nuggets by The Chambers Brothers who had that mega-cool "Time Has Come Today" psych jam ... This Lp was more or less an introduction to these three California bands. The cover art is by future San Francisco ballrooms poster designer/artist: Rick Griffin ...The front cover of this record is as classic an example of "Summer Of Love" art as you are going to find anywhere. It features a couple dressed in American Indian-style clothing resting against a tree, while the title and names of the artists swirl in Barnun & Bailey type letters above them. On the back cover are "reprints" from the Los Angeles Free Press. While the three cuts by The Chambers Brothers are borderline bluesy (except for tons of echo), the remaining cuts by The Ashes, and The Peanut Butter Conspiracy are good examples of a folkrock/garage rock mix with West Coast flavors ...
The funny thing is, at the time, in 1967, many people from that generation actually thought this music was dangerous, rebellious, and revolutionary ...when actually it's just good love & peace hippies doin' theit thing...The Ashes broke up and morphed into The Peanut Butter Conspiracy who had a cool and pretty big local L.A. hit in  "It's A Happening Thing" ... their first two of three total albums are very worthwhile collectibles noted as such mainly for the great vocals by Barbara Robison ...

Aldo of note, The Ashes drummer is Spencer Dryden who went on to drum for Jefferson Airplane in their important sixties years...
