Obscure Heavy Psych/Heavy Rock/Proto-Metal

[dr wu]

Toe Fat - Toe Fat (1970)

Got that on orig vinyl.

This one is from late 1969….close enough to 1970….and way before it’s time….Heavy psyche, proto doom, proto metal…

.Holden was a guitarist for Blue Cheer.

Randy Holden ~ Population II

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Explains the sound. Blue Cheer are probably the first proto-metal group.

@dr wu
its crazy how expensive it is to obtain these obscure albums. It appears there have been reissues made in the 1990’s & you can get the CD from Amazon.

Parish Hall ~ Lucanna

very reminiscent of Hendrix.

Khavas Jute....Wide Open....i think they were mentioned a few years ago....on this thread...they remind me of Cream at times.
