ULTIMATE SPINACH® - ULTIMATE SPINACH

Ultimate Spinach® UPC: 803680627556

Ian Bruce-Douglas’ short-lived Ultimate Spinach was a different kind of psychedelia; mixing Baroque music with sitars, spatial guitars with Theremin, harmonica & wood flutes within hard rock lines. Some lyrics had a strong influence of the poetry of Kenneth Patchen and the philosophies of Jean-Paul Satre. Here truly was a serious new recording artist, in the middle of a generation in change, during the year 1968. The Alan Lorber produced album, "Ultimate Spinach" sold 110,000 albums in the first week, and remained on the Billboard Top LP charts for 36 consecutive weeks, followed by it’s 2nd and last album by Bruce-Douglas, “Behold & See.” Both albums are considered psychedelic classics. The spectacular "Ballad of the Hip Death Goddess" has been cover 7 times and is featured in several new films, including the 2006 Canadian indie "Monkey Warfare".
