......................................................................................................
If a band could ever be called a psychedelic group, the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band fit the bill. This somewhat mysterious crew issued 4 albums in the late '60s that plugged into the era's myriad of folk-rock, psych-pop, freakouts, and trippy lyrics establishing a solid identity of their own. One that collectors rate at the top of the heap some 40+ years later... There are few groups as enigmatic, as mysterious as The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band. The prime mover in the band was Bob Markley, born in Oklahoma and the son of an oil tycoon. He moved to Los Angeles early in the 1960's. With the release of the group's second album 'Vol 2', Markley's hold on the group was obviously completed and the air of anonymity removed. The WCPAEB was clearly seen as a trio, with photographs on both the front and back sleeves. Alongside Markley were the Harris brothers. The album includes a bunch of gems. "Smell of Incense" is particularly strong with great instrumentation. Released as a single (in a cut-up and remix version), it was the hit the group never had; They were curiously beaten by a cover version by the Southwest F.O.B., who reached no.56 a few months later. The first track, IN THE ARENA is most excellent - very vibrating love scene, super guitar, super licks. "Tracy Had a Hard Sunday" is very recommended if you have good taste for great original psych. Always an interesting band that can define a genre and a sound and a kind of promise of fun and silvery mystery that is always just a little bit further out in a kind of very American psych way. Savagely innocent even if some say it's exploito, it is undoubtedly sweetly magnificent.In the Arena 4:10 Suppose They Give a War and No One Comes 3:38 Buddha 2:05 Smell of Incense 5:47 Overture - WCPAEB Part II 1:28 B: Queen Nymphet 2:19 Unfree Child 3:58 Carte Blanche 2:42 Delicate Fawn 2:30 Tracy Had a Hard Day Sunday 4:35
CONDITION: The cover is solid with strong seams. VG+(+) there is a little light shelf wear (camera not picking it up well in photo) = much less than found on most copies, given the dark cover from 42 years ago. The back cover with group photos is clean ...altogether, collectible looks.
The vinyl is shiny on both sides, original luster is there, glossy clean VG++ (minor soft hairthin scuffs is all) plays enjoyable...
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
