Lyd - s/t a.k.a. "Thorns" 1970

Late 60's garage psych rock band Lyd, is said to have recorded their sole release (this) in Pat Boone's studio. Whatever the case, this obscure release is thick with heavy fuzzed out guitar and druggie lyrics (legend also says that the band was on mass amounts of LSD at the time of recording). The 21 minute e.p. was never properly released, although some scarce/small pressings on private labels and only a couple acetates in existance have turned this disc into a highly (no pun intended) sought after rarity. Akarma released it in 200 on 10" and CD, in 1992 it was released on Fanny out of Belgium, and most recently by Southwest Studios (2012) on single sided 12". It's well worth hunting down. A superior E.P. indeed.
