Are you ready for some really hard core psychedelia?
In Jan.1967 I went to a youth conference at the local Unitarian Church. It was a virtual love-in. Two of the attendees stayed at our house. Down in the basement, an underground EP of psychedelic music was shared to the group; an EP that had been recorded sometime earlier in 1966, consisting of 3 tracks by Country Joe and the Fish from Berkeley. Needless to say, I was blown away. Here's one of them. In the 1980s I got to know Country Joe, and brought him down for performances at the New Age Fair I produced. Quite a priviledge!
When the EP's songs came out commercially as part of their first LP in 1967, along with other new tracks, the words "L.S.D." at the end of this song had been replaced by the title "Bass Strings." Later Joe gave me a CD with the original ending (actually I'm not sure which words were the original).
