A Sunny 1968 Degrees Out

I love capitalisation. It's a fantastic thing. It Should Happen More Often. Makes things neat and clean. However, I do have a pet hate. The words Supa Centa stricks such annoyance in my poor, poor veins as to cause serious heart issues. Get it right - Super Centre - it really isn't difficult, this English language of ours.




From Dr. Schluss Garage Of Psychedelic Obscurities:
No, the double "f's" above are not a typo. This fleeting psych pop band from 1968 chose these strange looking words in honor of a British cartoonist named Wally Ffolks. Fortunately, and unlike many wacked out obscuro bands, these guys had the songwriting chops and atmospherics to shore up their nomenclature.

The Rainbow Ffolly's musical style does stand out from the rest of the British psych-pop pack. Most bands of the era seemed to use Revolver-era Beatles, Syd Barrett, or the Yardbirds as their basic template to build a psychedelic sound. These guys seem to build their psychedelia more off of the folk-rock sound of Rubber Soul. The ballads in particular are in a distinctly McCartney-esque vein. In fact, there's a song present here called "Drive My Car," although strangely enough it's a completely different song than the Rubber Soul track of the same name.

1. She's Alright
2. I'm So Happy
3. Montgolfier
4. Drive My Car
5. Goobye
6. Hey You
7. Sun Sing
8. Sun And Sand
9. Labour Exchange
10. They'm

11. No
12. Sighing Game
13. Come On Go

Today, I'm removing track #4 fresh from the oven for your enjoyment with some boho tea.

Note: Kylar doesn't make any money from this at all. This isn't an elaborate scheme to make him wealthier than the fat bald woman who likes to chase chickens. Also, Kylar sometimes like talking in third person.
