Graf Zepplin - "You're In My Mind" (1968)

Graf Zepplin (yes, that is the correct spelling) were a high school band from the Chicago suburb of Oak Park, IL. In the spring of 1968 they won a Battle of the Bands where first prize was recording time in a Chicago studio. While there they cut this classic bit of popsike. It's basically a straightforward Farfisa rocker, with some trippy Syd Barrettish sound effects added by the recording engineer.

500 copies were privately pressed to be sold at gigs, with the rest handed out to family and friends, It's now quite a collector's item.

The Purple Canteen - "Brains In My Feet" (1969)

A classic trippy rocker from that hotbed of psychedelia, Jonesboro Arkansas. Apparently they rented a house for rehearsals in nearby Goobertown -- is there really such a place?

The flip side of their only single, "Brains In My Feet" sounds a lot like Jefferson Airplane during the vocal parts, while the guitar sections take a right turn into Fuzzville.

According to one website, "The band's trailer was shaped like a huge purple coffin inscribed with Purple Canteen to scare the kids".
