The Brigade – Last Laugh (1970 Portland, OR) | Private Press Vinyl Rip | Live From Lake Tapps, WA

A very special, bittersweet morning broadcast. This is my absolute final live stream from my mother's house here in beautiful Lake Tapps, Washington. To mark the end of this chapter and celebrate the deep musical history of our local region, I am diving straight into the deep end of the Pacific Northwest underground with the ultimate holy grail of local psych: Portland's own, The Brigade. This was the 1970 private pressing originally issued by the custom Band 'N Vocal Mobile Recording Service (BVRS-1066). With only a minuscule handful of copies known to exist in the world, this is a true phantom record. Moving seamlessly from heavy, fuzz-driven garage rock to drifting, lysergic dreamscapes, Last Laugh is the absolute definition of the dark, sophisticated counterculture thriving in the Northwest as the 1960s turned into the 70s. Pour a cup of coffee, check the chat, and let's share one last special session from the lake house. 🎧 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/ #TheBrigade #LastLaugh #BandNVocal #PrivatePress #PsychedelicRock #LakeTapps #PNWPsych #RareVinyl #VinylPiper #HolyGrailVinyl #1970Psych #VinylCommunity #LakeTappsWashington
