Peacepipe - The Sun Won't Shine Forever / Lazy River Blues. 1968 USA-California


Peacepipe's only released work during the band's lifetime, is one of those can't miss 45's for fans of inventive psychedelia. 'The Sun Won't Shine Forever' is stunning, with wah wah guitar, a killer riff, and psychotic vocals. One only wishes the track went on for more than 2 and a half minutes. Though the good news is that the main theme was expanded upon on their archival LP/CD release, and retitled 'The Day the War Has Ended'. 'Lazy River Blues' is just that - if it were stripped down to its bare essence. However on here it's completely psyched out beyond recognition, and is also quite good.

Ownership: CD: 2002 Shadoks (Germany). These are bonus tracks to the original Rockadelic archival release. There's no date on the 45 itself. 1968 is the generally accepted date, though Discogs places 1969 - but without any corroborating evidence to support.
