Deep, The

***Expanded deluxe edition of THE DEEP's one and only album, originally released in 1966 and now well-established as a psychedelic classic. One night in a darkened Philadelphia studio, the Deep (RUSTY EVANS, songwriting partner and producer MARK BARKAN, the legendary DAVD BROMBERG, whose credits include playing with Bob Dylan and many others, plus a bevy of talented musicians) laid down tempestuous garage punkers, sweetly-twisted ballads and ambiguous weirdness, all rife with hyper-psychedelic lyrical flashes of a rolling midnight expressway through the subconscious mind. A perfect representation of the psychedelic sound: free-form poetry, infectious drum beats, fuzzed out guitar, and playfully plucked bass (and vibes and tympani and so on), swirl together, coalescing into some of the most impressive psychedelic rock you'll hear. Remastered from the original four-track tapes, including three sides of alternates. "The best Nuggets-era garage album ever."—www.lysergia.com
