[Frantic]

Almost sounds like early psych. What do you think?

Pretty cool. Sounds like something you'd hear in a David Lynch film.

 

[Andreas]

You just blew my mind, Joey!

Little Danny at Officenaps.com included the Ultramates on a mix he did a few years ago. The unifying theme is pre-psych & "atmosphere." Recommended.

[MopTopMike]

Yeah, i have this, never considered it psych, but I guess it fits the bill!

Really cool... hard to find?

 

[The Raven]

definitely a psych record imho, sounds like a cross between something from the first CJ & The Fish alb and The Search Party, eerie trippy goodness, thanks for sharing this Joey

 

[reyes]

i like it very spacious for sure...i would even say that it has a really obscure and raw exotica feeling to it....

No, it's an easy pull. And cheep!

Wow... this is pretty hip... thanks Joey

 

[Frantic]

WOW...Recorded at Gold Star, the ULTRA MATES were a studio group consisting of Darlene Love and the Blossoms. How cool is that?! Early '63 Black Girl Psych...yeah

 

[reyes]

did they later re-release the flip to this song as The Birdies?....

WOAH!!!!!!!!!! I just checked my data base and sure enough, the 45 was re-released on the same label in 1964 as the by the BIRDIES, except the flip is now called Huckelbuck '65 (see GIRLS IN THE GARAGE volume 8) instead of just Hucklebuck. Good call Reyes!!!

Don't quite know that I hear this as psych... it's more like the sound that the white lines in the middle of a desert highway make at 2 in the morning. Yeah... David Lynch.

While it may not quite be psych, it's a lot more psych than 1/2 the stuff being peddled as psych.

 

[greenfuzz]

I definitely consider it psych.

 

[Michael W]

I call it Northern psych - then it's worth triple.

Maybe they had visited Big Sur or Hermosa and gotten turned on?
