Ah , and here it is !!!

What can I say about this wonderful record ? Once you go Friar tuck you'll never go back , that is , if super psychedelic fuzz infused reverb dripping endless dreamy Ethereal Phil Spector like Pet sounds acid trips with Charles Manson at the psychedelic dance party is your thing ,

the ultimate and essential cornerstone to any space age pop Psychedelia LSD exotica groove lounge collection ,Once I heard this LP I've spent years after trying to find something else that comes close to this , but with no avail , this is far too advanced , you could listen to this album a hundred times and still here new sounds and ideas within the layers upon layers of ethereal wordless vocal harmonies and raga reverb tremelo space echo guitar bliss , a precursor to My Bloody Valentine ?

Mike Deasy , Famous session guitarist who is still available to play on YOUR album today !!!

Master of the sixties' West Coast Sound , He worked closely with Phil Spector and Brian Wilson , among thousands of others ,you'll find he played sitar on countless albums( such as Jackie Gleason's Now Sound for Today's Lovers) rivaled only by Bill Plummer ,

Deasy teamed up with Gary Paxton , Ben Benay , and Kurt Boettcher many times , the vocal arrangements on this album are hands down the best I've ever heard from Curt Boettcher , and Ben Benay 's own album " Goldenrod" is actually the backing tracks from this album and the " Millenium" album , the story goes that Deasy took acid with Charles Manson and the family back when Manson was hanging around the Beach Boys , somehow Mike blew his mind and had to be recovered after days of hiding in the woods , henceforth he became Friar Tuck , and the back of this LP reflects these disturbing times in his life with Manson-esque poetry

Deasy played in Tommy Roe's backup band and helped write Sweet Pea , and once they went to play the song at Disneyland whilst Deasy was fully clad in Friar Tuck garb , Disney would not allow him to enter the park other than to play with the band , he really was Friar Tuck during that phase thats the revelation ,

Mike Deasy also worked with Ry Cooder on ' Tanyet ' by the Ceyleib people ,

There are two types of people in this world , the pre- Friar Tuck who don't know about this gem , and the post Friar Tuck , who have never been the same musically since hearing it ,(and perhaps a small third group who thinks I'm goofy?) Vinyl and cover EX/EX mono/stereo copy

Songs : Sweet Pea Louis Louis Work Song Alley-Oop ALL MONKED UP ODE TO MOTHER TUCK A RECORD HI FENDABENDA HA HA HA A BIT OF GREY LOST WHERE DID YOUR MIND GO ? Recorded at Gary Paxton Studios Special Tributes to : Timothy O' Leary / Richard Alpert Mercury 1968

Excerpts from Friar Tuck's Reading Room ; " "Open up the head of life and gaze upon the wonders there .

Do you see infinite wisdom , knowledge or the soul attaining perfection .

Open the head of life yet more for your eyes are lost in hair .

Though wisdom and knowledge some attain and share with the few who seek

Few are those who brave their souls gentleness seeming meek

So the gray mass seems to be us once more Packed from front to back we lead the way blindly without logic or truth

Our soul replaced by fat , Again motivation is strange , forcing man to give up I

You leave a vaccum where creation could be Watching a soul starve and die ,

As we stand upon the hand of Life , the strangest thing takes place. The body of our Life we walked upon so carelessly begins to tremble and shake

The hand closes """
