Elephant Patch -st,LP,1979,USA

Very strange sounding late 70s private psych release. Floating psych music blended with a wonderfull female voice reminding a mixture of Grace Slick with Bonnie Raitt.No more infos available.

  3. Good Stuff!
    i wouldn't necessarily call it 'floating psych'... more folk oriented in my book.
    Still....good, unique vocals.
    Go to her Myspace page and read....a real character!
    Thanks!

  9. Gongratulations for your blog and your ABSOLUTE MARVELLOUS posts. I cannot help visiting you every day. A request: the compilation "Making Waves - A Collection Of 12 Womens Bands From The UK" from 1981 that came out in cooperation with Rough Trade. I remember the Androids of Mu song. Is it a difficult request for you?

  12. Surprisingly good private press, but (chiming in with others here), not particularly "psych" in my book (are we that hungry for previously uncovered rare psych records that we'll call a vanity pressing country rock record "psych"?)
