CLICK HERE TO CHECK THIS WEEK'S PSYCH ROCK & PROG ORIGINAL PRESS LP AUCTION
"The Five Day Week Straw People were a one-off, studio-only British psychedelic band that did one rare album in late 1967 (actually released in 1968) for the budget Saga label. Its ten songs were loosely centered around the concept of a typical weekend in the life of typical working British people. For a fee of 25 pounds per musician, The Five Day Week Straw People comprised of singer/guitarist John Du Cann (of the obscure psychedelic pop group The Attack, AND FUTURE ANDROMEDA , ATOMIC ROOSTER AND HARDSTUFF MEMBER ), bassist Mick Hawksworth, and drummer Jack Collins were assembled.
The album was recorded in about four hours in a London schoolroom (some stories mention a nursery !!!! ) , a remarkable achievement given that Collins had not heard any of the songs prior to the session.
While the album (simply titled Five Day Week Straw People) has attracted some fanatical praise among collectors, it's average-period British psychedelia. It leans a little more toward heavy rock than toward mod, although there are some strong pop elements in the vocal harmonies and the British storytelling lyricism."THANKS TO HIPPY DJKIT BLOG
