Glad- A New Tomorrow: The Glad & New Breed Recordings
(The complete early recordings of Timothy B. Schmit's pre-Poco band, with future Poco members, too. Never heard it before. Good sunshine pop, though each song sounds like a different 60's band--Bee Gees, Mamas & Papas, The Turtles, Beach Boys. One and done, which makes sense, but still a solid listen.)

 

McChurch Soundroom- Delusion
(Found this on a blog I check out occasionally. 

"An eclectic psych free blues rock ensemble that has closed relationships with krautrock, in particular with the heavy, stoned jazzy sound of Nosferatu, but also with folkish bands from England--Jethro Tull first era. Their original LP "Delusison" was released in 1971 on the legendary Pilz label--Popol Vuh, Wallenstein, Witthuser & Westrupp. This psych folk underground act is now cult."  

I lasted two songs. Horrible.)

Genesis- The Lamb Lies Down Broadway (2008 Nick Davis Remix)
(I know this is considered a prog classic, but if you boil it down to a single LP and use the most accessible songs, it might as well be a psych pop album.)

Elvis Costello & The Imposters- Momofuku
(The great lost E.C. album)

The Black Crowes- Happiness Bastards
(Still not sick of this record. As a matter of fact, it gets better and better.)

King Hannibal- Truth
(Another brilliant record lost in the weeds.)

Traffic- Mr. Fantasy (Original U.K. MONO)
(I have a number of versions of this--U.S. Stereo, U.S MONO with a Kevin Gray master, U.K Stereo, and this one. I love them all. One of my fave records of all time.)
