Hapshash and the Coloured Coat

A collection of tracks from this undergroud prog/psych band from arround 1967. Mostly transcode rips from youtube.

Strange team that managed to release this very whacked out debut album that was quite ahead of its time, musically speaking. This group was a trio, and by hearing the album and its out-of-this-world psych, you'd guess they'd be at least a quintet. These guys were first and foremost counterculture multi-talented artistes, creating clothes and poster and album artworks in the heydays of the counter culture. Of the three "musicians", only one had any prior experience before recording this record, Guy Stevens, an Island record producer; the other two being just shop owners, returning to their shop activities after this freak out. Self-produced (by Guy Stevens) and "self-artworked" (meaning the decorated their sleeves themselves), this album is one of the stranger psychedelic albums of the British Isles, and given the un-experience of two of its members, this album is worthy of inclusion for that fact alone.

Note my upload speed sucks be patient and seed to help those who follow.
