Looked this up on Wikipedia and it's a little mysterious -- seems like "Fixin" was recorded first, but was released ONE MONTH AFTER the "Electric Music" album?? (And both came out right before Monterrey Pop?)

Though somewhere else it says "Electric Music" came out in September 1967, which would make it their second LP (if Fixin did come out in the spring.) This could be conflating the fact that their first album peaked in the charts in September? "Fixin" didn't peak til early 1968 however, and since that includes their biggest hit it makes sense it would have been the second released.

Point being: they are both excellent 1967 Cali-psych albums that sound like they may have been recorded at the same time. (Much better than the first Grateful Dead album from the same year!)


I think the Wiki info is dodgy , the official site

truly psychedelic albums in existence
