CHICO MAGNETIC BAND (no smoke) OOP reissue (limited to 600 copies) of this ultra rare French Heavy Psych Funk Monster!!! ----- - - -- ----- Chico Magnetic Band's eponymous album, released by French Vogue subsidiary Box Office label in 1971, defines the term 'heavy psychedelia'. These bunch of freaks, lead by Algerian-born Mahmoud 'Chico' Ayari, were clearly influenced by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, but somehow created a song of their own: violent, trashy, stoned-as-hell heavy psych featuring demented vocals, furious guitars, a loud rhythm section, and mindblowing studio effects, including phasing, backward tapes, and weird and groovy electronics. Eight killer tracks, including the insane, fuzzed-out deconstruction of Hendrix's 'Crosstown Traffic' and cult classics like 'Pop Pull Hair', 'Explosion', 'Pop Orbit'. This reissue includes a good number of bonus tracks (6 on the vinyl). Features an insert with full band story and rare photos. Limited to 600 copies on vinyl w/insert. --------------- --------- EX/EX
