The Zoo / 20th Century Zoo (1968) Sunburst & Vault - L.A. & Phoenix - Psych - Live Stream

Spinning a double feature of 1968 heavy hitters for this morning stream: The Zoo - Presents Chocolate Moose and Twentieth Century Zoo - Thunder On A Clear Day. I am playing original US Stereo Monarch Plant pressings for both—The Zoo on Sunburst Records (7500) and Twentieth Century Zoo on Vault Records (SLP-122), documented from the high-fidelity metalwork of the legendary Los Angeles plant. This session explores the "heavy" evolution of the West Coast and Desert psych scenes. While both bands shared a name during their formation, they offer distinct flavors of the 1968 underground. The Zoo (from Los Angeles) blends blue-eyed soul and fuzz-drenched garage rock, featuring a young Howard Leese on guitar. Twentieth Century Zoo (from Phoenix) leans into a much darker, aggressive blues-rock sound defined by Skip Ladd’s feedback-heavy guitar work. I am documenting the superior punch and low-end clarity of these two essential 1960s documents, capturing the raw, saturated energy that defined the transition from garage to hard rock. 00:00 Intro 01:26 The Zoo - 1968 29:18 Twentieth Century Zoo 0 1968 01:06:43 Close Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vinyl_piper/ Full vinyl rips playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9pEOi1yCUyAZikNmWVdz8Hn #TheZoo #TwentiethCenturyZoo #HeavyPsych #BluesRock #VinylRip #1968Rock #MonarchPlant #LosAngelesRock #PhoenixRock #RareVinyl #VinylPiper #MorningStream #StereoVinyl #AcidArchives #HardRock
