Episode 935 - The Psychedelic Special (Remastered + Bonus Tracks)

Another oldie but goodie that I thought could use a little remaster: The Psychedelic Special! A special feature on a very fascinating time in the history of music. More specifically, the Psychedelic period in the mid-to-late 1960s. This was a very creative and fertile time in which established bands such as the Beatles, the Who, the Moody Blues, and Cream figured prominently. It also saw the arrival of important nascent talents such as Pink Floyd and the young Jeff Lynne, Roy Wood, David Bowie, Steve Howe, and Chris Squire, to name but a few. We’ll hear from all of these and more on the Prog-Watch Psychedelic 60s Special! So come along for a fun ride…it’ll be groovy, baby!(The bonus tracks:Pictures of Matchstick Men by Status QuoFire by The Crazy World of Arthur BrownHurdy Gurdy Man by Donovan)
