This - Psychedelic Psymphony - Don't Be Afraid - is a tune from the movie "Mondo Keyhole" and (re)issued by Arcania in 2006.
Pure studiowork I believe. I have no clue about the guys playing, but they were clearly in-the-know.
Peculiar name for being from 65. (If that is a correct date)

Randy Johnson is one of the musicians behind this track and probably played the electric 12-string guitar. He is
probably best known for his cool 1967 folk rock 45 "Fly Superman Fly" on Davy Jones' vanity label.

I haven’t watched it yet, but this 1967 film was thought lost. It features the Bantams but is reportedly G rated so I’m no hurry to subject myself to it. Cool to know I now have the opportunity to if I choose to do so, however.

The movie is commonly believed to have been issued in 1966, but yeah possibly shot in 1965 and the music with it. The movie credits has them as the Psychedelic Psymphonette, which is an even more peculiar name if you ask me! On the other hand, the word psychedelic, though much less widespread then, existed since 1957

The earliest mention of the movie I can find is a showing from May 11, 1967. It was then in theatres during late 1967 and early 1968.

Right, the earlier screenings I found were in 1967 indeed, but the copyright registration shows the movie was copyrighted in Aug 1966. Maybe they struggled to have it screened. Jack Hill's previous movie, "Spider Baby", had that kind of problem, being shot in 1964 but didn't find distribution until 1967. Now that I think of it, maybe both movies were picked up altogether by the same distributor in 1967

Restored on Blu-Ray if anyone is interested. There is a band barely visible in a nightclub scene but it’s anybody’s guess who they might be.

Hard to say indeed! Seems they're four if we count the unseen drummer. Not much to go with!

IMDB sez 1966. As movies goes, that's the most reliable source imho. But the release could have been delayed.

Copyrights can be filed well before the media is made available to the public. With films, I believe this is commonplace. Same thing with televison programs. Getting everything legally filed well before the product is released or broadcast. I would go with 1967 since the earliest mention found in May 1967.

My year comment was for the Bantams flick, not MONDO KEYHOLE.

Years ago I saw this film on late night cable and had half- forgotten it but just rediscovered it online. El Mundo Loco de los Jovenes / The Crazy World of the Youth (1967) is a silly musical with masked characters, robots, etc. and lots of tepid chanteuse type numbers. But it also features one of the wildest garage rock tracks I've ever seen in a film, by Los Dug Dugs - check it out at 5:23. There is also a pretty great fuzzy instrumental by a different (barely seen) group at 1:05:34. And if you care to scroll through, you will find a bizarre number with a whole bunch of women in cat costumes behind a masked male singer and several female vocalists backed by the Dug Dugs.

Some douche is bying the "rights" of a whole lot of obscure garage records.
You can post an unknown record on YT without songwriters on it and no BMI.
And uploaders can find a "remove this, this song is owned by [douchebag], or else"
in the mailbox on a ten year old upload.
For example, this happened to the "Jeannie Jim Tom Bill" record. (A group that *I*
finally found and interviewed)
All of a sudden some a-hole in California owns the rights of this record.
And I kid you not. The same a-hole is then selling these songs as "Pebbles" on Amazon
and "Rare Jukebox Gems" on Apple
How does this work?

Send me the info via PM if you have the name, etc.
I know some folks in the pub & copyright biz that I can ask.
I would pester youtube brass to forward the cease and desist offical notice that shows he owns the rights.

You cannot just "buy" rights unless the copyright holder or estate grants permission in writing to do so.
If there is no copyright record that was filed at the time rights still revert to the estate / family / relatives etc.

Beautiful piece of kid garage that hasn't been heavily comped set to fantastic visuals from "Skater Dater" - it's all good.

Great stuff. Can't believe how cheap the copy on ebay sold.

Select Sound Studio was affiliated with Jubilee/Josie. There was a "Power House" publishing company which published many tracks written by Alan Dischel and Joey Day (who had numerous songs placed on labels like Cameo, Jubilee, Jamie etc.). Seems to have been active 1967-1971.
