This is pure psychedelic pop perfection; nothing to get hung up about, just something to feel really good about. Not entirely an obscurity as The Lemon Pipers do tend to find their way onto a lot of sixties compilations, but just enough to warrant an outing on today's blog. The album of the same name, from 1967, is worth a look if you too and there really are a few cracking numbers on there that deserve more attention, particulary "Through With You", which I have various incarnations by from other bands of the era, this particular version being the smoothest of the bunch. To quote the back of the original album; "And now ladeeez and gentlemen, the Lemon Pipers will perform their big hit "Green Tambourine" for you by plucking their electric chicken, playing their stringless violin, shuffling their pack of cards, and blowing their minds. Step right up!".
