I recently scored and just spun tonight the Paper Fortress 45 on VMC about a half-dozen times--it's that good! Both sides are written/produced by Tandyn & Eddie Hodges (and both arranged just by Tandyn) and it's one of the most impressive floral power fruitcake slices of '60s psych that I've heard in decades. Plus it's a definite 2-sider. Did some research on this disc and found out that this is Erik Braunn's (of Iron Butterfly) first band circa '66 - '68.
It's definitely got the Boettcher stamp of approval sound and is a pretty darn sophisticated disc with all sorts of meter/tempo changes, amazing backing vocals, and (on my favorite side "Butterfly High") remarkable bass harmonica rifs reminiscent of some Smile arrangements. Surely there is a story here! Anybody got anything to add?

Brian can do what he likes, the worst thing about the 'menage a trois' is that he might have squashed you, seeing as this was late 70s and he was prone to eating lots of food and not showering! (I'm sure somebody here knows the precise date and can verify it!

Most interesting thread on this forum for a long while.
Can someone remind me exactly what TA's contribution was to Marcella and Sail On Sailor?

He wrote the original lyrics to Marcella, from what I've been told.

He also wrote the lyrics to Beatrice from Baltimore, which was changed into You Need A Mess Of Help To Stand Alone.
