Velvet Illusions - Acid Head / She Was The Only Girl (1967 Garage Psych 45 - Yakima WA)

Ripped from my NM copy of the 1967 Velvet Illusions 45 on Tell Records T700. The band came out of Yakima Washington and had that classic mid sixties garage sound starting to drift into psychedelia. Fuzz guitar, organ, teenage attitude, and a little bit of that wild 1967 energy that was spreading everywhere. Acid Head leans into the trippier side with lyrics that are very much of the time. The flip, She Was The Only Girl, has more of a melodic garage pop feel but still keeps that Northwest edge. I’ve never found anything showing they played Seattle. No posters or ads, just a couple of Los Angeles show dates floating around. They also put out an EP with more good tracks if you like this lane. 00:00 Acid Head 03:00 She Was The Only Girl #VelvetIllusions #AcidHead #Yakima #GarageRock #PsychedelicRock #1967Vinyl #TellRecords #NorthwestPsych #VinylRip #VinylPiper
