The earliest song I have come across that sounds psychedelic-ish is Syncopation by Tom Dissevelt which apparently was recorded sometime between 1957-1959. I don't know much about this song other than it sounds way ahead of its time, it has a very progressive/electronic feel to it which I did not know existed during the 1950's.

If anyone out there could give me more information about this subject then it would really make me happy! I am new to this forum and I look forward to seeing all of your answers.
