Country Joe & the Fish  1967   LP “Electric Music for the Mind and Body”      on Vanguard Records         Cat# VRS 9244  MONO

One of the absolute best San Fransisco psych albums of the 60s!  Stunning, disorienting, and addicting from beginning to end.  Filled with
not-so subtle references to LSD whispered in the background of the songs!  The epic ‘Section 43′ (7 minutes 16 seconds) is an acid trip all
on it’s own!   This is the rare original MONO copy, with different mixes - much harder to find than it’s STEREO counterpart!
