1969 underground trips by ex-United States Of America psych band
JOE BYRD AND THE FIELD HIPPIES
The METAPHYSICAL CIRCUS
\ USA - Columbia Masterworks - MS 7317
STILL FACTORY SEALED
RARE! ...Original 1969 first pressing of trippy underground psychedelics by guru Byrd cat who was in "The United States Of America" (they made the collected Columbia 360 Sound Lp in '68)
The American Metaphysical Circus is a landmark psychedelic recording of the late 1960's, largely unique in having remained in print for nearly 20 years. It was recorded by Joseph "Joe" Byrd after his departure from the band The United States Of America, and featured some of the earliest recorded work in rock music utilizing extensive use of synthesizers and vocoder, along with an extended group of West Coast studio musicians he named as Joe Byrd and the Field Hippies
The album is most noted for "The Sub-Sylvian Litanies" which opened Side A. This three part-suite has been described as "an entire acid trip in 11 minutes". Other album highlights include the similarly-oriented "The Elephant At The Door", and the politically-charged "Invisible Man", written for and aimed squarely at President Lyndon B. Johnson. Two of the more unusual tracks on the record are "Mister Fourth Of July" - a an old-tyme tune complete with scratchy 78RPM-style effects, and "Leisure World", featuring narration from long-time ABC voice-over and "Ghoulardi" originator Ernie Anderson in an ode to California's first retirement mega-community.
Among the musicians featured on the record are prominent West Coast studio musicians such as the late Ted Greene, who is credited with the album's stellar guitar work in one of his few recorded appearances. The extensive use of effects, delays, echoes, backwards vocals and other recording tricks and techniques are reminiscent of some of the experiments and work carried out by George Martin on behalf of The Beatles during their psychedelic phase of the late 1960's, as well as Pink Floyd. ...so, get on it...
