RARE!! 1969 first pressing ~ the gloriously legendary SAN FRANCISCO Hippie outfit.... THE CHARLATANS
Always been hard to find and nowadays plain "RARE" going for three figures $$$ in collector circles
....Original '69 issue of the very hard to find, highly collectible first CHARLATANS album...the band that essentially opened the gates to the psychedelic laced San Francisco Sound hippie scene....
THE CHARLATANS performed their first show at the Red Dog Saloon in Virginia City, Nevada on June, 21 1965. It proved to be a psychedelic event with the band fuelled by Augustus Owlsley Stanley III's first batch of LSD. A poster was designed by Charlatan members George Hunter and Michael Ferguson to advertise the Red Dog events. It became known as The Seed and is widely accepted as being the first poster of the psychedelic era.
The founders of San Francisco acid-rock, the first band to break away from the conventions of the Merseybeat, and to ingest massive doses of LSD, were the Charlatans. The group was built around two folksingers, singer and drummer Dan Hicks and guitar player Mike Wilhelm, and one underground light show experimenter, George Hunter.
In the summer of 1965 in Virginia City, Nevada, the Charlatans and a small following of hippies took over the Red Dog Saloon and held concerts six days a week. The premises, where Hunter created the first light shows, and psychedelic guru Ken Kesey had become a fixture, were soon filled by young people from the neighboring towns. When the police chased them out of Virginia City, the hippie gathering moved to San Francisco. What happened afterwards in San Francisco was nothing but the continuation of what the Charlatans and their friends had started in Nevada.
The CHARLATANS only album was finally released in 1969 and may be a bit disappointing if you compare it with their earlier works but it's far from a "mediocre affair" as described in "Fuzz, Acid & Flowers". To be fair the highlights are aplenty...Highlights include their great take on the old Van Dyke Parks tune "High Coin" and "Time To Get Straight" is a fine folk rocker in grand Charlatans style. Also notable is the last song "When The Movies Are Over", which is a weird and trippy number, the forever great "Alabama Bound" a holdover from their peak trips of 1966.
