If a band could ever be called an archetypal psychedelic group, the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band fit the bill. This somewhat mysterious collection of L.A. players issued several albums in the late '60s that plugged into the era's standard folk-rock, freakouts, and trippy lyrics. They cut a fair number of tracks, moving without rhyme or reason from straightforward Byrds and Kinks cops to zany orchestrated self-absorbed psychedelic pop to self-conscious exercises in hippy outrageousness (including, of all things, a cover of the Mothers' "Help I'm a Rock"). Though their legacy reeks of determined trendiness, the best of their output holds up well.

------------------------------------------------

When the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band were booted by Reprise following the commercial failure of their three albums for the label, their former producer Jimmy Bowen signed the band to his own Amos label for a follow-up. The result, 1969's Where's My Daddy?, surely must qualify as one of the creepier musical efforts of its year. Even without prior knowledge of bandleader and lyricist Bob Markley's later descent into severe mental problems, not to mention a string of arrests involving underage girls, the lyrics of this album are disturbing; with that background, some of them are downright horrifying. A concept album of sorts, Where's My Daddy? charts the odyssey of "Poor Patty" (possibly the barefoot ten-year-old street kid pictured on the album's sleeve) through the post-Summer of Love bad trips of the Los Angeles street scene. From the Lolita-like innuendoes of "Everyone's Innocent Daughter" to the climactic "Two People," which ends up with a beaten and raped Patty pleading her case to a disinterested judge, side two of Where's My Daddy? is like one of those cautionary morality films of the '40s and '50s as reinterpreted by Dennis Hopper's character from Blue Velvet. The music seems almost secondary, with most of the brief tracks consisting of little more than one- or two-chord vamps under Markley's increasingly fragmented and freaky story. More of an album to be marvelled at than enjoyed, Where's My Daddy? holds a certain psychological fascination, but it's neither particularly musically competent nor salacious enough to be perversely titillating. Mostly it's just kind of sad.

---------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING ON ALL 12" VINYL / LPS / 12" EPS / 12" SINGLES - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!!

We offer combined shipping on all LPs / 12" Vinyls: our shipping rates are listed above. HOWEVER shipping packages that weigh more than 2kg is VERY expensive. Therefore we can only offer combined shipping up to a maximum of SIX (6) LPs / 12" vinyls. Any extra purchases will be invoiced, packaged and shipped separately.

***Due to the physical logistics of how I can package orders, I will not combine box sets with other items, I will only package them individually***

---------------------------------------------------

COMBINED POSTAGE FOR DIFFERENT FORMATS will be invoiced at my discretion:

While I am happy to combine (for example) one or two 7” singles into one package with 12” records, sometimes it simply isn’t practical (like if you want me to combine one 12” record with three or more 7” records). I simply do not think that these combinations can be packaged together safely and securely. Therefore these will be invoiced separately as two packages.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE, please contact me before bidding!

---------------------------------------------------

Sorry but I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks of auctions (see below).

---------------------------------------------------

PAYMENT

I would appreciate payment within seven days of the auction’s end. If you want to bid on more of my auctions ending a week later please inform me. I will wait and issue a combined invoice at the close of the second week’s auctions.

However, I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks and in these cases would appreciate payment promptly after the close of the second week’s auctions.

I am sorry to have to introduce these measures – I always try to be patient and allow buyers to bid on extra auctions and / or delay payment. Unfortunately some buyers have been stretching out transactions to unacceptable lengths so I feel I have no option but to limit ‘carried over’ transactions to two weeks.
