Get Your Freak On

At 4.20 a.m. on a weekday morning & you think that life cannot get crazier than this & suddenly you get the urge to play that unknown Godz lp ‘Contact High’ & then you are off on one of Owsley’s best.

How come I had not heard this before? Absolute madness from start to finish. Like nothing I have heard before. As original as 2 of my favourites: Tranquility Bass ‘Let the Freak Flag Fly’ or The Beat of the Earth self titled album. It is on a par with; United States of America’s self titled album, Joe Byrd & the Field Hippies, David Peel & the Lower East Side, Tom Rapp & Pearls before Swine.

It sounds as if it was recorded in a shed in the woods in the middle of Saigon, with the napalm burning outside & the last of the acid has just kicked in.
