The psychedelic circus is back — louder, stranger, and more dangerous than 1968 ever allowed.
Before the label execs knew what hit them, Elmer Gantry’s Velvet Opera had turned London’s Denmark Street into a velvet-lined madhouse. Their debut blends Mellotron haze, R&B swagger, and fuzz-box chaos in a way nobody dared before or since. “Flames” burned so bright even Led Zeppelin took notice. “Now She’s Gone” drips late-night heartbreak. And the rarities? They’re like finding acetates in a séance.
This isn’t just a reissue — it’s the definitive resurrection, restored and expanded for a trip that’s somehow even wilder the second time around.
