Live Psych: Sam Gopal - Escalator (1969 London, UK) | Psychedelic Rock / Underground Psych

Spinning Sam Gopal - "Escalator". 1969 UK pressing on Stable Records, catalog SLE 8001. Gatefold LP. This is one of those UK underground psych records that actually earns the cult reputation. The tabla and percussion are baked into the sound, so even when the guitars get fuzzed out, it doesn’t feel like standard late-60s psych. It’s raw, hypnotic, and a little dark around the edges. The big hook is Lemmy, credited here as Ian Willis, on vocals and guitar years before Hawkwind and Motörhead. You can already hear that grit in his delivery, especially when the band locks into a heavier groove. Full album play.
