The Millennium - Begin (1968 Los Angeles) | Sunshine Psych Pop | Full Vinyl Rip

This is Begin by The Millennium, released July 1968 on Columbia Records (CS 9663). This copy is an original US stereo Terre Haute pressing from my collection. The Millennium were basically a Los Angeles studio supergroup built around Curt Boettcher, pulling in members from Sagittarius, The Ballroom, and The Association orbit. This album is late-60s sunshine pop pushed right to the edge of psychedelia. Big harmonies, orchestration everywhere, tape effects, and that hyper-detailed West Coast production style that only really existed for a short window. Musically, Begin sits between sunshine pop and full psychedelic pop. It’s lush, melodic, and carefully arranged, but there’s a lot going on under the surface. If you’re into Curt Boettcher projects, Sagittarius, or records that feel like pop music filtered through a psychedelic lens, this one’s essential. 🎧 This is a full vinyl rip from my personal copy. 00:00 Prelude 01:00 To Claudia On Thursday 04:46 I Just Want To Be Your Friend 07:23 5 A.M. 10:04 I’m With You 12:40 The Island 16:03 Sing To Me 18:30 It’s You 21:53 Some Sunny Day 25:18 It Won’t Always Be The Same 28:17 The Know It All 30:59 Karmic Dream Sequence #1 36:57 There Is Nothing More To Say 39:34 Anthem (Begin) 📷 More vinyl on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vinyl_piper/ 🎧 Full vinyl rips playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9pEOi1yCUyAZikNmWVdz8Hn #TheMillennium #Begin #1968Vinyl #SunshinePop #PsychedelicPop #PsychedelicRock #ColumbiaRecords #VinylRip #VinylCollector #VinylCommunity #vinylpiper
