Mock Duck – Test Record(1968 Canada Acid Rock, Psychedelic Rock, Blues Rock)Full Album

Mock Duck was a popular Canadian psychedelic/acid rock band from Vancouver, BC, active in the late 1960s, known for their energetic live shows and psychedelic sound, featuring guitarist Joe Mock, bassist Rick Enns, keyboardist Ross Barrett, and drummer Glen Hendrickson, who evolved from folk-rock roots and supported major acts before disbanding around 1970, leaving behind a couple of sought-after singles like "Do Re Mi" and a legendary live recording, Test Record. Formation & Early Days (1966-1967) Guitarist Joe Mock started with folk-rock influences, forming "Joe Mock & No Commercial Potential" around 1966. They played local venues like The Afterthought, opening for acts like Jefferson Airplane, before evolving into Mock Duck as the Vancouver scene embraced psychedelia, influenced by San Francisco bands. The Psychedelic Era (1968-1969) The classic quartet lineup solidified with Mock (guitar), Rick Enns (bass), Ross Barrett (keyboards/sax/flute), and Glen Hendrickson (drums). They became a staple at local clubs (Village Bistro, Retinal Circus) and supported major tours (Fleetwood Mac, B.B. King). They released singles like "Do Re Mi," which gained regional radio play for its swirling organ and searing guitar. Recordings & Legacy They recorded live sessions and studio tracks, resulting in the rare Test Record (recorded 1968-69) featuring tracks like "Groundhog" and "Hurt On Me". Despite their local success and top-tier musicianship, they never broke nationally, a common fate for many Canadian bands of that era. End of the Road (1970) After a final shift into psychedelic R&B, the band dissolved around 1970. Joe Mock continued in music, forming Pied Pumkin and working in France and Japan, while Mock Duck's recordings remain prized by collectors.
