Sam Gopal – Escalator (1969) | UK Psych Rock feat. Lemmy | Full Vinyl Rip

This is the rare debut LP from Sam Gopal, a psychedelic underground classic best known for featuring a young Lemmy Kilmister (pre-Hawkwind and Motörhead) on vocals, lead guitar, and songwriting — credited as "Ian Willis." The band’s hypnotic blend of tabla-driven rhythms, fuzz guitar, and occult lyrical themes set this apart from the more pop-oriented UK psych of the time. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9pEOi1yCUyAZikNmWVdz8Hn Pressed in small numbers on the obscure Stable label, Escalator has since gained cult status for its stripped-down production and raw atmosphere. Lemmy’s vocal delivery already hints at the power and grit he'd become known for later. 🎧 This rip is from my personal vinyl copy — UK original on Stable Records. Recommended Tracks: “Season of the Witch” (Donovan cover with a darker, heavier tone) “The Dark Lord” (proto-doom with occult vibes) “Cold Embrace” (killer fuzz opener) Sounds like: Early Hawkwind, The Deviants, Twink, T2, Dark, High Tide 📷 More rare psych vinyl: https://www.instagram.com/vinyl_piper/ 🔗 Subscribe for more full LP rips and rarities 0:00 – Cold Embrace 03:40 – The Dark Lord 06:55 – The Sky Is Burning 09:26 – You're Alone Now 13:05 – Grass 17:09 – It's Only Love 21:22 – Escalator 24:08 – Angry Faces 28:08 – Midsummer Night's Dream 30:20 – Season Of The Witch 34:43 – Yesterlove #SamGopal #Escalator #Lemmy #PsychedelicRock #UKPsych #StableRecords #VinylRip #RareVinyl #Motörhead #VinylCommunity #1969Psych #AcidArchives
