St. Albert's Dream Vol. 1 (2013) + The High Spirits (2026) | Psychedelic Rock | Vinyl Stream

For today’s psychedelic trip this morning I’m spinning two records back to back. First up, Lysergic Sound Distributors’ 2013 compilation St. Albert’s Dream Vol. 1 (NCP041176), limited to 800 hand-numbered copies. Eleven obscure American psych cuts from 1968 to 1972, restored and remastered from unreleased master tapes and newly discovered acetates. None of them had ever appeared on a vinyl comp before. Steve and Trent Purdy run Lysergic out of Tucson, Arizona, and the record leans on their backyard - Greylock Mansion and Frozen Sun from Tucson, Sleepy Hollow from Phoenix. Mechanical Switch is El Campo, Texas. Met Steve at a Dug Dug’s show a while back and have been slowly chipping away at the Lysergic catalog ever since. This volume is long sold out from the label. Then I’m dropping the needle on something brand new - The High Spirits self-titled LP on Sundazed and Modern Harmonic (LP 5700), released October 16, 2026. The cover reads “I Believe” as the subtitle. This is the first-ever full album for a Minneapolis garage and psych outfit that cut two killer 45s on Soma Records in 1965 and 1966 and never got a proper LP until now. Sixteen tracks pulled from Kay Bank Studios sessions, acetate demos, Owen Husney’s basement recordings, and even high school tapes. The band started at summer camp in 1963 when Owen Husney and Lauren Siegel first met. Three of the members - Husney, David Z. Rivkin, and Lauren Siegel - went on to shape Prince’s career. Not bad for a scrappy sextet out of St. Louis Park, Minnesota. Two very different records but both tell the same story: great psych and garage buried for decades until someone with a crate and a passion finally dug it up and put it on vinyl. 🎧 Vinyl Finds Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9oSXuMGglp1N8SlbZUEtCJ7 🎧 Full Vinyl Rips Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9pEOi1yCUyAZikNmWVdz8Hn 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vinyl_piper/ I sell my doubles and extras here: https://vinylpipershop.com/ #StAlbertsDream #TheHighSpirits #Sundazed #LysergicSoundDistributors #VinylCommunity
