Title: The Gary Wilder thread
Post by: dogbreath on January 02, 2006, 06:50:02 AM
I thought it was about time Wilder got his thread. He was a minor but important artist in the sixties, but the familiar tale of drug abuse and alcoholism has ensured his slide into obscurity is complete. Partial discography:

As Gary Wilder and the Wild Ones (surf instrumentals):

Surferama (Regality, 1962)
Snow Shoes (Regality, 1962)

As The Hi-Tones (morphing through surf to pop-psych):

Surferama (remake) b/w Nerve Gas (Regaility, 1964)
Nerve Gas (added vox) b/w Picture Garden (Kosmos, 1965)
Shady Tree Party (??? '66)

As The High (full-on psych weirdness):

Lilac Lace (Power of Plants '67)
Citadel of Your Face b/w Nerve Gas (3rd version) (Which's Brew '67)
Mind Bicycle (????)


This is all I've been able to track down, but I'm sure some of the experts out there will be able to add to the list.
