Oh Dear, Miss Morse,

Don't blame me dear,

Blame McLuhan

From Wikipedia:

One Nation Underground was the debut album by American psychedelic folk group Pearls Before Swine. It was released on the ESP-Disk label in October 1967.

It was recorded at Impact Sound in New York City, between May 6-9, 1967, by the Florida-based group, which at that point comprised main songwriter and singer Tom Rapp, Wayne Harley, Lane Lederer, and Roger Crissinger. Percussion was by session musician Warren Smith.

The album presents a mixture of styles - "psychedelic folk reminiscent of Donovan collides with Farfisa-driven punk and hard-to-categorize repetitive minimalism, all thrown together with the undisciplined, creative exuberance of youth".

"Another Time" is an acoustic song, the first that Rapp ever wrote, based on his experience in a car crash where he walked away unscathed, and, with "Morning Song", represents the most characteristic example of Rapp's later writing style. In contrast, "Drop Out!" and "Uncle John" are youthful protest songs. "(Oh Dear) Miss Morse" spells out in Morse code the word F--K, accompanied by banjo and organ.

The album became the most successful ESP release ever, estimated to have sold between 100,000 and 250,000 copies. Early vinyl copies came with a small poster of the Hell panel from Hieronymus Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights, a detail of which was used on the front of the album sleeve.

The album went through a number of cover variations. The original, first edition was brown monochrome with a white border along two sides of the cover. The second edition had a black and white cover with the group name in white along the top. The third edition was the white background and color section of the painting

Red: How's the SQ on that Stones SACD?

The only way to hear it IMO. If you were luke warm to the LP this may change your mind.

SACD of the greatest R-n-R band in the world when they were.

I LOVE this album. My all time favorite live album.

Morning all. Hearing that discussion of Pearls Before Swine got me to thinking I need to pull that out, I have two of their albums. Also, a buddy of mine just saw Lucinda Williams a day or two ago at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in San Fransisco. Said she was killer. Need to pick up the new album. Here's another oldie but goodie on LP

P Man....some years ago a friend brought that up...I thought it sounded like Morse...and darn if he wasn't right...Some of those sublime messages...I remember that was being brought to light on the St.Pepper album at roughly the same time period....Those Pearls Before Swine albums had some very interesting art on their jackets too....

Zep III was a radical departure from their earlier releases...but it is killer in its own right...actually all of them up to IV were the defining period of this group...sometimes called the play to eat period....in commentating this release date...I'll begin with 1...and go through 4... Cranked......

Having a Beatles mono marathon. Sgt Pepper & Rubber Soul are going back. Not flat enough for my liking. Anyone else checking their set ?
And what do I find while looking at albums that have been in storage for years but an original Vee-Jay of ''introducing The Beatles England's No. 1 Vocal Group''
