Rainbow - After The Storm (1968 Los Angeles) | Psychedelic Rock | Full Vinyl Rip

This is After The Storm, released in 1968 in the US on GNP Crescendo Records (GNPS 2049). This is an original stereo promotional pressing. Not to be confused with Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, this late-60s Rainbow was a Los Angeles psychedelic band that managed just one album before disappearing. Released on GNP Crescendo, After The Storm blends sunshine pop harmonies, West Coast psychedelia, blues rock, and orchestral touches into a sound that sits somewhere between the commercial and the underground. The album moves comfortably from melodic psych-pop into heavier guitar-driven material, mixing original songs with a hard-hitting version of Willie Dixon's "I Just Want To Make Love To You." Tracks like "Does Your Head Need Straightening?" and the ambitious "Prelude To The 'Music Makers Concerto'" show the band stretching beyond straightforward psychedelic rock without losing their melodic focus. Although it never found a large audience, After The Storm has become a favorite among collectors looking beyond the better-known Los Angeles psych records of the era. It's one of those albums that rewards repeated listens, with strong songwriting and plenty of late-60s studio experimentation. 🎧 This is a full vinyl rip from my original stereo promotional copy. 🔥 Standout tracks include Love Allusions, Does Your Head Need Straightening?, Midnight Candle, and After The Storm. 🎸 Sounds like: The Peanut Butter Conspiracy The Yellow Balloon The Sunshine Company The Millennium 🎧 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/ 💿 Tracklist 00:00 Debby's Party 00:32 The Ballad Of Captain Bob And The Good Ship Venus 05:12 Love Allusions 08:22 Milk & Honey Lovin' 12:23 I Just Want To Make Love To You 17:15 4 Leaf Clover 20:33 Prelude To The "Music Makers Concerto" 22:06 Does Your Head Need Straightening? 28:10 Midnight Candle 34:29 Mary Lou 36:22 Everything's Cool 39:02 After The Storm 00:00 Everything's Cool 00:00 After The Storm #RainbowBand #PsychedelicRock #GNPCrescendo #SunshinePop #1968Rock #VinylRip #VinylCommunity #VinylPiper
