By Jack, Richard Morton
The most colorful, detailed, and authoritative guide to the psychedelic albums of the 1960s ever published.

Never before or since were so many classic albums made in such a short time. From Cream's Disraeli Gears to the Zombies' OdesseyandOracle, Psychedelia examines 101 of the era's most groundbreaking records. Contemporary reviews, rare photographs, new interviews, and a plethora of iconic images and reproductions of cover artwork make this a treasure no music fan should be without. The artists include: The Beatles * The Byrds * Country Joe & the Fish * David Bowie * Donovan * The Doors * Fairport Convention * The Grateful Dead * Jefferson Airplane * The Jimi Hendrix Experience * Love * The Mothers of Invention * Pink Floyd * Quicksilver Messenger Service * The Rolling Stones * Small Faces * Traffic * The Yardbirds * and more!.
