These guys are great too!The Outsiders - CQ (1968)
^
First listen re: David Ackles as above - kind of a Scott Walker meets Gordon Lightfoot sound, presaging the 1970s singer-songwriter sound
Also first listen for me of CQ - assumed initially The Outsiders was the garage band who did "Time Won't Let Me" appearing on the Nuggets comp. Nope a DIFFERENT Outsiders - this one Dutch, the "Time Won't Le Me" group was from Cleveland.
This Outsiders' CQ is (per AllMusic):
Embarrassed for not knowing this one - it's indeed a pretty good example (though weirder that most) of psychedelic garage rock of the era.

I liked the movie, also.

The Smoke - The Smoke (1968)
First listen - another example from Mojo of some pretty good psychedelic rock/pop with some baroque pop touches. I'd listen again.
Last 60s Brit folkies/prog guys were such nerds. Example: song title "Hobbit Symphony"

Beau Brummels - Bradley's Barn (1968)
Interesting shift in style to country rock by the Beau Brummels - not one of my faves of the genre so I don't break it out too often but decent

I have the same reaction, Zeeb. Plenty of better fish in the sea. For me, BB is overrated.Beau Brummels - Bradley's Barn (1968)

The Insect Trust - The Insect Trust (1968)
First listen: Mojo introducing me to a number of new albums that are lesser-known psychedelic gems - oh sure none of them have been instant classics but most have been worth the listen. This has a Big Brother feel with vocalist Nancy Jeffries more folksy that Janis' bluesy bent. With addition of banjo, fiddle and harmonica, the group integrates bluegrass into their psychedelia.
Interesting hodgepodge of performers including Rolling Stone journalist Robert Palmer (not that one). Coltrane drummer even would drum on their second album

The Insect Trust: An American Band Deconstructed
One of the great fantasies of the hippie era was that new combinations of music would emerge from the experimentation that was going on. Still, very few lived it. Ed Ward says The Insect Trust was one of the exceptions.

The Beatles - Past Masters, Volume Two
As we close out 1968 (jeez, each year really has a lot of albums), seems like a good place to put this 1965-70 comp.
Onward and upward to 1969!

Bee Gees - Odessa (1969)
Haven't spun this in awhile - just wonderful baroque pop.
Also contains one of the trilogy of songs (all wonderful songs) from the late 60s about seeing a face
The Byrds "Have You Seen Her Face" (1967)
Love "Always See You Face" (1969)
Bee Gees "You'll Never See My Face Again" (1969)
A lot of face-seeing (or not-seeing) in the 1967-69 years
