I was just about to write the same after reading about it just now. This is horrible, horrible news. Very shocking. I don't know what else to say. I recently e-mailed with him to ask him some questions, but I never met him or anything like that. So saddened. Thank you for everything.

This is shocking and beyond sad.
I had the pleasure of working with Patrick on the Acid Archives and enjoyed our many exchanges, musical and otherwise. I will miss those and his friendship.
Hopefully, someone will post more details as they are available.
Meanwhile, my condolences to his family.

Incredibly sad news that leave me shocked! Patrick has been an inspiration and a benchmerk in terms of research enthusiasm. Among the many reference books on sixties music, the Acid Archive for me has been the most used one as Patrick's reviews (and those by other authors) were honest, helpful and spot on. His imput on this and other boards has been valued by me and despite his heavy schedule he always found the time to reply to personal messages and requests. He'll be sorely missed!

Incredibly sad news. My thoughts go out to his family. His first book/compendium of garage compilations had a huge impact on me, and later he turned my stubborn head onto the private press scene through the Acid Archives project. So sad to hear about this. I never got to meet him, though I felt I would at some point. RIP Patrick.

Patrick had a God-given talent for expression and insight. There are but scant few people in life who have that innate, natural ability to mold, shape and change an oft-held vision or opinion simply by opening up an avenue that had been closed off, for whatever reason it be. He followed his muse, and shared his passion selflessly. It is now up to the rest of us to ensure Patrick's work will live on to enlighten new kindred spirits.
To say that he will be missed is an understatement. R.I.P.

For the second time in a week I wake up to the terrible news of one of the world's top music preservationists/historians passing away. I had a lot of interesting exchanges with Patrick back when he was compiling the Acid Archives and in his Yahoo group (which I hope was preserved even though it was closed down a few years ago). I'm really proud to be one of the few contributors to TBM and AA. Have a great journey into the next realm, Patrick.

The Yahoo group, Acid Sanctuary, is still there for members to access. I see you had one of the last posts on there.
I'm hoping steps will be taken for the preservation of Patrick's Lysergia website and the online continuation of the Acid Archives. I'll be checking into what I and others can do to keep it going.

I never met him either, but exchanged emails and traded with him on occasion. He was a true wealth of knowledge, and somebody whose opinion I greatly respected. In fact, the reason I agreed to have the lost Olivers LP acetate see an official LP release is because the Lama told me it was good enough to. Very sad news.

I'm very sorry to hear this, I believe he was only 47? Whatever age, he has had a huge impact on music collecting and reissuing. A great sense of humor too. It's really shocking to me, I'll miss him.

I'm so f**kin sad right now... He was one of my dearest friends since we first met in the eighties... He's meant a lot to me over the years. I used to visit him regularly to hang out, play records, talk and swap stories. I gave him my records and he gave me his books. Probably the smartest person I ever met. It's hard to wrap my head around this... I'm grateful I was his friend. Damn.

It made me sick to hear this news today. Patrick and I had so much correspondence over the years. I felt privileged to call him a friend and was honored to participate in his projects. Patrick was blessed with rare talent and insight. His observations and ability to dissect his subject matter with perfect clarity is God given as Mike said. I never got to meet him face to face, but the many chats and conversations we had will always be remembered. Peace in your journey, Patrick. Your family and loved ones are in my thoughts and prayers.

Terrible news. We spent a lot of time together in the 80´s but not so much the last couple of years. One of the funniest and most intelligent persons I´ve met. Very very sad news indeed. My thoughts goes to his family. RIP Patrick.

I can't believe this ... I had heard from Patrick just a few months ago. I had no idea he was ill.
Patrick was one of the most witty, intelligent people to have ever written about rock and roll music. I immediately felt a kindered spirit when I picked up the first printing of his "Elevators Reference File," the first intelligent thing ever written about that band. I was pleased to contribute to his second edition because I knew that he would do a great job, and of course he did -- exceeding everyone's expectations. I urged him to use his real name on the book (he published the first one under his Lama pseudonym), and I'm glad he did. People deserved to know who he was, as truly insightful rock writers/documentarians are rare.
Though extremely well informed, he didn't take himself too seriously, always a sign of superior intellect.
What a terrible loss for the music world.

This is very depressing. While I didn't all ways agree with Patrick's assessments of things, I admired his passion for collecting and ability to put things into an inviting context...his enthusiasm for the things he liked was definitely contagious. He left behind an admirable body of work, and he was very excited about a new discovery that he recently re-issued, which is going to be a must get now, though really it all ready was for me:
