Della Reese "Live".

Now without that elusive DeLorean ! or that dusty Carpet we are now.. I think in Europe ?..Via some contributions from Luc (Correct me if I am wrong Luc) !!!

Della Reese Live is a live album by American singer, Della Reese. It was released in August 1966 by ABC–Paramount Records and was the fourth live LP in her career. Although cut at a recording studio, the album was cut in a live format where the ensemble of musicians and Reese gathered together in one room to perform, all completed in one take. The LP was met with favorable reviews and was Reese's final album to make the US Billboard 200 chart.
 Della Reese Live. Instead of being recorded at a venue, Della Reese Live was cut at Western Recorders, a studio located in Hollywood, California. Reese and her manager/producer, Lee Magid, gathered several jazz musicians together to make the record on a Tuesday evening. According to the liner notes, the concept was to make it sound like it was being performed at a house party. The players gathered together in one room with Reese without doing any second takes. The project featured notable jazz and blues musicians such as Ray Brown, Bill Doggett and Herb Ellis.

Electric Music For The Mind & Body...Country Joe & The Fish.

Country Joe and the Fish was an American psychedelic rock band formed in Berkeley, California, in 1965. They were among the influential groups in the San Francisco music scene during the mid-to-late 1960s. Much of their music was written by founding members Country Joe McDonald and Barry "The Fish" Melton, with lyrics pointedly addressing issues of importance to the counterculture, such as anti-war protests, free love, and recreational drug use. Through a combination of psychedelia and electronic music, the band's sound was marked by innovative guitar melodies and distorted organ-driven instrumentals which were significant to the development of acid rock.
Their debut album, Electric Music for the Mind and Body, followed in 1967. It contained their only nationally charting single, "Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine", and their most experimental arrangements.
