The Deep's Psychedelic Moods is probably one of the most fascinating and sought after psychedelic albums of all time, and this Radioactive reissue of the incredibly-rare stereo version is the one that all collectors want to own. The Deep were a Philadelphia-based studio-only band whose one and only album, Psychedelic Moods Of The Deep (Cameo Parkway 7051) was released to critical acclaim in 1966. Conceived and produced by Mark Barkan and Rusty Evans (both of whom were involved in Freak Scene) and the legendary David Bromberg, whose playing credits include just about everybody from Bob Dylan to Jerry Jeff Walker, Psychedelic Moods is hailed as the very first album with a consistent psychedelic theme running throughout. It is even rumoured that the album was recorded in the middle of the night, in a blacked-out studio when the band was more than likely on LSD. The album is incredibly strange, full of weird sound effects, haunting vocals and acid-drenched lyrics. Some critics mistook The Deep for another cult psych band, The Seeds, and tracks such as 'Color Dreams' and 'Your Choice To Choose' do sound a little Seeds-like, and both bands have been widely credited for their influence on The Doors.
