Unknown PNW Psych Garage 45

[Rich Strauss]

As most of you know, I concentrate on the local labels of the Pacific Northwest region. The most prominent group of labels from that region is Jerden, Panorama & Piccadilly. I had all the released 45s on these 3 labels except one. Piccadilly 253 - Noah's Dove - Camels & Dragons/Noah's Dove. I had never heard it, much less seen a copy. George probably has one but I never asked him. Frankly, I didn't hold out much hope that it was any good and I thought that with a name like Noah's Dove it might be a bad Hippie/Christian record. Boy was I wrong.

Recently a copy appeared on eBay with sound samples. They sounded good, although the sample cut off just as the fuzz guitar solo was starting. No one was going to outbid me on this one. I won it for about $250. The delta number is 71960 which the chart says is June, 1968. But the label has a date stamp of July 8, 1968 so late June/early July, 1968.

Here it is:

Congratulations on the score and thanks for sharing this! I sure wish that more music from mid '68 sounded this good. These songs will get repeated listenings.

Congrats on completing the label, and many thanks for sharing this.
That A-side is pretty flipped out.

Pretty wiggy slices of PNW '60s psych! I'm glad to say I wasn't bidding against you.

I hope someone does put it on youtube so the scene of 300-500 people worldwide get to hear it.

Why?
What have most of the 300-500 people contributed, except for pilfering from other people?
U give some, then you (should) get some.

It is a community, not a market.
And I find that a lot of people are contributing to the movement.
Maybe not all. Must everybody contribute something? I don’t think so.

Or are we talking money here? Those days are over.

So stop being such Debbie downers and be happy that there’s all this cool music to listen to.

Being so uptight is not good for your sphincter. Let it go!

 

[Rich Strauss]

Just for the record.

I do not mind that this was posted to YouTube. Saved me the effort.

I posted it here so that everyone on the forum could hear it. Now it has a wider audience. Maybe the members of Noah's Dove will get some long overdue credit.

A bunch of 50 years olds get upset that a 50 years old teen garage song gets posted on Youtube.
This IS real life. Apparently. Unfortunately.

It's a huge crime if this record will be heard by more than two people.

no, it gets posted on youtube and then some ahole puts it on a cd with other songs found on the net and then said ahole gets major accolades for releasing cool shit. I'm with Mikey.

Something ain't right if too many people get to listen to an unheard 60's
teen garage record for free.

your response has zero to do with my post.

 

[mikael]

What is so bad about this song's being posted on Youtube?

 

[Lee de Parade]

Major accolades? Usually they get a major blast-treatment. Who are these aholes living off these fabled ”major accolades”?
And is that the sole reason you guys flip yer lid - that someone might get an ”underdeserved” accolade?
Is it worth being such a toxic dude because of this unrational fear of aholes recieving undeserved accolades?
Do you even sleep with all that paranoia lurking under your bed?

Come on!

I have no problem with Rich or anyone else sharing cool unknown tracks with people, (I actually commend him/them) And if it sat on Youtube forever, that's cool. It's the guys who run around the net looking for this unreleased stuff and putting together comps with crappy quality and no liner notes that piss me off. If you put out comps yourself and knew how much time went into them to do it right, you would know what I'm talking about.
