Gandalf: Gandalf (1969)


So Capitol Records destroyed this band. First they made them change their name from Rahgoos to Gandalf to capitalize on the psych trend of the time. They shelved their album 2 years after signing them, then released it with the wrong record inside the sleeve. Damn! That's just enough to destroy a band, and it did. What a shame too, because this is one pretty amazing album. Breathy vocals in the vein of the Zombies, great instrumentation, and trippy effects.
