LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Classic 1968 exploito soundtrack

Features Seeds / Strawberry Alarm Clock

Plenty off sitar and fuzz

Notes included


Starring Jack Nicholson and released in early 1968, Psych-Out has been described as 'a groovy movie par excellence, the Citizen Kane of the late 60s Haight-Ashbury scene'. Its superb soundtrack originally appeared in April 1968, combining classics by acid rock heroes The Strawberry Alarm Clock and The Seeds with exclusive material from The Storybook and Boenzee Cryque. Packed with flute, organ, sitar, fuzz and more, it makes its long-awaited CD debut here, complete with explanatory notes and a bonus track.


'This is an excellent 60s album... The genre calls for a bit of irreverence. Psych-Out delivers that with studied enthusiasm' - www.allmusic.com


'Top soundtrack album featuring the efforts of The Strawberry Alarm Clock, The Seeds, The Storybook and Boenzee Cryque... The Storybook take credit for 50% of the tracks, with highlights including the Alarm Clock-credited Pretty Song From Psych-Out and the rather mental title track' - Endless Trip
