3 out of 5 stars Average Late 60's Psych With Tabla Instead of Drums?!.......2005-02-09

Lemmy is God. They said so in 'Airheads'.
Anyway, this is a cool peek into what he was playing during the psychedelic 60's. I really don't think it's anything special, although the curious Sam Gopal, the dude who played tabla and other non-drum percussion herein, makes for a not-so-interesting sideshow. A couple songs like 'The Dark Lord' and 'Midsummer Night's Dream' are neat, and you can hear Lemmy's still-youthful, trademark rasp, but the whole album is rather repetitive and even tedious after a full listen. As for the sound, it is a MONO mix 'from the original LP mixes' (so states the back tray cover). Nineteen sixty-eight was a rather late date for a mono-only release, but anyway... I bought it, burned it and returned it for 75% credit at my favorite record store. I really wanted to like it--and indeed, I do like a few select tracks--but it's not worth $19. Borrow it from a friend and then go back to listening to your Hawkwind and Pink Fairies albums.
