I had a 'top score of the year' recently in the form of a minty promo copy of 'Hallucinations', a single released by Baker Knight in early 1967. By that time Thomas Baker Knight had already racked up ten plus years in the music business, but this would be his first and only psychedelic single. He sure made it count! It's one hell of an outing with guitars a buzzing and sound effects that cascade around an absolutely killer vocal delivery. You can go ahead an file it next to your singles from the Electric Prunes who were label mates of Knight at the time.
On the flip 'I Feel Sick About The Whole Thing' is mostly a return to form for Knight who is known more for his rockabilly/country/pop vocal sounds. A decent tune it is, but 'Hallucinations' is enough for the price of admission alone...
