Heard this great, unexpected mouth-music eruption
The title reminded me of this awesome song
Amazingly the Chamber Brothers did it more or less the same as the record when they played live - the weird dubby cowbell as clock tick-tock slowing right down starts about 2.24 here
But then a new, different kind of radio station came along - freeform FM progressive-music stations - and suddenly it was friendly. The long-hair deejays loved the longer version on the 1967 album.
In '68, it got released again as a single, almost twice as long as before (at 4.45) but still not the full-length journey to the center of your mind. That version got to be a #11 hit in America.
That long album version actually came from the extended freakouts they'd start doing live.
Before I ever heard the Chamber Bros, I knew this version first.
Suddenly there was a spate of hardcore and punk covers all within the same year-and-a-bit
