Yes, because it was captured on the Dove Recording Studios acetate the year it was recorded (1967).

On the article I have, which I still haven't scanned, everything you need to know is written.
Sancho Panza, scan it, please. Great song, but no information about the authors. I was even convinced that it is a fake.

They did look rather psychedelic:
Sancho Panza, sorry for the molestation, but could you tell me just who was the author and singer of "I'm a Living Sickness"? Peter Steinberg (I know that he was the writer of "Flight Reaction")? And one more thing: the musicians were from the group The Nite Caps, right? Really need your help.

I guess I can stop looking for this. Didn't know it was an acetate.

Also - was the Four Fifths' "She'll Hurt You In The End" ever released, or was it only an acetate?
Surprised that one didn't make the list of top acetates, if it wasn't released.

There were four made, one for each group member, but only one is known today (in the BossHoss archives). The other three are lost, as the members no longer have them.

I think he's asking when the acetate was first discovered?
I haven't seen the Lost & Found article, so maybe the info's in there... but did it turn up in the wild or did it come to light when a collector contacted the band about "Flight Reaction"?

It wasn't released, "Flight Reaction/Beep" was the only thing released (IF, I'm not mistaken). I will search out the article as soon as my final is ready. It's boxed away somewhere.

Right, I was just curious how the "Sickness" acetate became known. (And I think that's what butator was asking as well...)

Was 'discovered' when it was put out on a Psychedelic Unknowns EP c. 1979
You are right. I was surprised by an unusual sound (unusual for the 60s).

I feel like this is a garage version of "Who's On First?".
What I meant was how did the acetate which made its way onto the comp back in '79 originally turn up? Did Billy Synth find it in the wild? Did he (or someone) get it from the band back then? Did Satan himself insert it onto the Psychedelic Unknowns plate at the pressing plant?

The time that passed between Patrice listing the acetate as a BIN to when Mark bought it was a true soul searching moment for me. The conclusion was: Thomas, do NOT venture into the acetate collecting field. The price was, contrary to a lot of his other auctions, not that bad! That it went to a good home was not a given, so that´s an added bonus.
