Emergency Third Rail Power Trip is a mindblowing album! I showed their follow up mini album Explosions From The Glass Palace on my last video. I came close to pushing the button on the RSD Gandalf… might still do! Great album! Great video pal. Subbed up. Cheers, Jack
Right on, it sure is Jack! Thanks for stopping by! "Explosions From the Glass Palace" is on my list, but I really prefer buying from record stores vs. Discogs, so I'll prob wait til I find a copy in the wild. Love your accent btw, and The Soft Boys are awesome too, strange alternate album cover art! Watching your video now.
Picked these two up on RSD and I agree that they’re fantastic. Also picked up SRC. The other jackpot lost psych classic reissue from the 60s. Only pressed to 1500 copies like Gandalf but the going rate on discogs is much lower. Definitely pick it up if you haven’t! The Amboy dukes, wonderwall, and Dave pike were other awesome psych records I picked up. Loved the video man!
Awesome, thanks for stopping by! Gosh, I thought I'd heard every psych record by now, but I'm actually not familiar with SRC or Dave Pike. I think I have an OG of that Amboy Dukes that I haven't gotten around to listening to after a pretty big haul. Thanks for the recommendations, I will def check them out online!
@@VinylPiper I see your point, I never really gave that much thought. The only other American band I can think of that comes close to that territory is The Left Banke. Lots of keyboard wizardry, great vocals, melodies and lyrics.
I had that Rain Parade album, and I want it back!! "I look around" a very great track! Listen to the psychedelic guitar! Last year I picked up another later record from The Rain Parade.
The Gandalf is getting a general release on black vinyl. Buying RSD releases online right after RSD can be a mistake. The vast majority of RSD releases drop.
That’s great news! The whole point of me getting these on RSD was because they went for so much less than the going rate. But since I recorded this video the prices have gone way up!
@@giantorangerecords I wanted to get the Ramones 75 demos but the prices are too high right now. I have waited up to a year before the price dropped on a Bowie RSD release and a Sonics RSD release.
@@vinylrichie007 nice! That’s good strategy. I was jazzed about that Al Wilson album (RSD 2023) I showed in the B-Roll and that went from $28 to $11… I got that in November, and here it’s May and I still haven’t opened it yet. But yeah, that Ramones demos from this years RSD is on my list. Just gotta wait til the hype fades. I’ll have plenty to listen to in the meantime.
Yes, they’ve really surprised me with how good they are. Though I’ve heard them before, the vinyl experience is extra rewarding with these. It’s also been many years since the I’ve listened to these.

I love the Gandalf lp. Thx
It's so good! I hadn't really "heard" it before this. The vinyl experience has taken this album to a whole new level. What a great record it is.
@@giantorangerecords for sure.. it's like the US version of odessey and oracle :)

Got the Rain Parade album for a tenner at a record fair a few years ago.
Nice! That's quite a score. Was that a UK edition of the album?
Two amazing albums.

I have one of the unofficial copies of Gandalf from 2015 I believe. Great snags
Nice! How do you like that one?
