*** DESCRIPTION ***
SIDEWALK ST-5912 (STEREO) - THE SMOKE - *Self-Titled*
An incredible Beatles' inspired album from The Smoke, co-produced by Michael Lloyd and Kim Fowley. Similar to Michael Lloyd's other production for October Country, Gold Is The Colour Of Love is a Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds sound-a-like.
“Copies of Smoke's self-titled album are highly valued by collectors of West Coast soft rock and psychedelic music. The album certainly deserves its reputation as one of the masterpieces of 1968. It opens with the organ-driven Cowboys and Indians, which was producer/songwriter Michael Lloyd's personal homage to Brian Wilson's Heroes and Villains and lyrically makes mention of war - Lloyd had met Wilson after Beach Boy Bruce Johnston invited him to the recording sessions for Good Vibrations.
In addition to Beach Boys-style production values, there are also references to the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band throughout.... The album is dedicated to Stuart Sutcliffe. Fans of post-Pet Sounds West Coast psych-pop or Curt Boettcher-produced groups (the Millennium, Sagittarius) will love this album.”
