ULTIMATE SPINACH

IAN BRUCE-DOUGLAS, BARBARA HUDSON, KEITH LAHTEINEN, 

RICHARD NESE, GEOFFREY WINTHROP

Ultimate Spinach was one of the most well-known, and perhaps the most notorious, of the groups to be hyped as part of the "Bosstown Sound" in 1968. The name itself guaranteed attention, as one of the most ludicrous and heavy-handed "far out" monikers of the psychedelic era, even outdoing formidable competition such as the Peanut Butter Conspiracy.

Their debut album was a very trippy affair. The double fold-out cover contained highly pretentious sleeve-notes by Bruce-Douglas. This pretentiousness was evident, too, in the album's lyrics. Instrumental numbers, like Sacrifice Of The Moon, sound similar to their equivalents on the early Country Joe and The Fish albums. The album is liberally endowed with wind chimes, bells and sound effects and the lyrics are tailored with flower power mythology. The album met with considerable commercial success peaking at No. 34 in the U.S. Album Charts...(Fuzz Acid & Flowers)
