Seriously strange is the word all right! But you know what? Some of the most collectible and in demand lp's from the 60's psych collectors are grouped in here.
Third Testament-Godz (ESP-1077) If you want strange check out THIS lp, especially the last few songs on side 2. Whew!
Then again ESP Records wasn't exactly your basic chart hit record label. But they lasted longer than the a lot of music industry people thought. And they weren't all folk/psych. Some interesting lp's regarding jazz music was released by ESP, one that I like is "Explosions" by Bob James. James later released some material on CTI, then Columbia.
The Fugs earliest releases were on ESP and are quite collectible.
The lp's by Sun Ra are worth seeking out as well.
