This is a thread for obscure 60's and 70's rock

[Gary]

We all know about Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, etc. But this isn't a thread for that. This is a thread for the likes of

Leaf Hound - HIP SHAKER

Atomic Rooster - Death Walks Behind You

Coven - Wicked Woman

Sir Lord Baltimore - Hard Rain Fallin'

So, discuss and post away.

This is my shit, here. I call it graybeard rock, since its current listeners are gray bearded white men.

Spooky Tooth, the Groundhogs, Bloodrock, Black Widow, Captain Beyond, Blue Cheer...

Did you guys know that Chubby Checker was duped into recording a psych rock album in Holland in the early '70s? You do now!

Chubby Checker - Goodbye, Victoria (1971)
Chubby Checker - He Died
Chubby Checker - Love Tunnel (1971)

 

[The Coat Is My Father]

Whoa that Chubby Checker stuff is far out. Good post Kamala.

Not sure how obscure Blue Cheer really are (they made a Wire list of Records That Changed the World (despite the fact that five people heard them) so maybe they fit the thread? This is so fucking raw and loud for 1967

Blue Cheer : Parchment Farm

I suppose Ghetto Brothers were like a highly politicised distinctly non violent Puerto Rican nationalist gang from the Bronx. Some of the members recorded an awesome album that quickly went out of print and that was their entire output

Ghetto Brothers - There Is Something In My Heart (1971)

 

[Incandenza]

Maybe compared to a lot of their contemporaries they're obscure, but Blue Cheer's cover of "Summertime Blues" was actually a hit single.
