THE WEST COAST POP ART EXPERIMENTAL BAND
BOB MARKLEY, DAN HARRIS, SHAUN HARRIS, MICHAELL LLOYD
One of the more offbeat acts to emerge during the psychedelic era, the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band
were certainly eclectic and ambitious enough to live up to their slightly clumsy moniker, capable
of jumping from graceful folk-rock to wailing guitar freakouts to atonal, multilayered, avant-garde compositions
at a moment's notice, but they also reflected a strongly divided creative mindset,
with Bob Markley, the lyricist and ostensive leader of the group, on one side and the rest of the band on the other

RECORD VG+ but (please, read above description)
SLEEVE VG but (please, see pictures and read above description)
This effort was less ambitious, containing a number of competent conventional songs such as As Kind As Summer
and the enchanting, haunting As The World Rises And Falls. Some of the material shows a strong satirical bent,
like A Child Of A Few Hours Is Burning To Death with its deadly blues riff,
sarcastic megaphone-on-a-parade-ground vocals, and martial atmosphere.
The title track combines a chiliastic invitation with mock-travelogue music to unique effect
and Eighteen Is Over The Hill is as perfectly-realized a piece of music as can be imagined.
Altogether it represented a considerable improvement on their previous efforts.
Incidentally, the order of tracks on this record bears little relationship
to the order given on the record sleeve...(Fuzz Acid & Flowers)
