Sonny Flaharty & The Mark V - Hey Conductor



“Hey Conductor” is a classic psychedelic garage tune with great fuzzy guitars and swirling Vox organ. Originally released in 1967 on Counterpart and then picked up by Phillips. The record was rising fast, garnering national attention, until it was promptly banned on account of “...contained the most flagrant psychedelic lyric ever written” and “condoned the use of drugs.” The balance of tracks on this collection appear to be songs recorded for an unreleased album, “Can’t Buy My Soul” was also released as a single.
