The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band - VOL.3 - A CHILD’S GUIDE TO GOOD AND EVIL

 

Limited edition 180-gram vinyl

Numbered edition of 1,500 copies on white colored vinyl

The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band make an interesting case for being one of the era's more unclassifiable bands. Vol 3. A Child's Guide To Good And Evil was a great example of this. This album is considered to be the band's most accomplished work and a masterpiece of the psychedelic genre. Released just nine months after Volume 2, the band explores their incredibly creative psychedelic pop song writing with an accomplished mastery of studio technique.

The album cover features iconic original artwork by Jon Van Hamersveld, who also created covers for the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. During their short existence The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band became known for their strange compositions, sometimes referring to the sound of the Byrds, while at other times exposing the weirdness of Captain Beefheart and Frank Zappa.

Vol 3. A Child's Guide To Good And Evil is now available as a limited edition of 1,500 individually numbered copies on white colored vinyl.
