There's some footage of them at the beginning of Sunshine Daydream fooling around that's pretty stupid, too.

On the inside back cover of the Harrison book it says that the record is 33 1/3 rpm. Also mentions that the acetate decays after some number of years.

I have this on CD somewhere.
I have this on CD somewhere. Someone made a copy of the 33 1/3 flexi disc (nice clean version) and there are FLACs in circulation.
My buddy had this and we made a copy on cassette back in the day so we wouldn't wear out the flexi disc.
I wonder if the RSD release sounds better? The sound quality was only so good to start with...

Bear was dragging a chair across the floor at the Muir Beach (12/11/65) acid test, I think this recording is from another night but I could be wrong.

I have a few CD-R's of whichever Test recordings were up on GDLive site back when. Haven't listened back in quite some time, as it's not my favorite Commuter music. No idea of how it compares to RSD vinyl, or the Cheezy Tim Leery recordings (you can be anything you want to, this time around.)
Anyway I'll dig those CD-R's out of their folders and see if they haven't dissolved from age. With any luck they were on Fuji Japan CD-R (Taiyo-Yuden) which have good life-span.
If still alive, I shall EAC them for you and get the strange, dissonant sonic Jibber-Jabber onto a thumb drive or the like.

Pull the album cover apart
Pull the album cover apart and blow into the cavity. My friend did this and a ten strip fell out. Something like one in every one hundred packages, underground secret surprises and all that, he said.
He seemed happy telling me about it.

When I was a very young teen
When I was a very young teen I got a copy of Big Bambu because I loved the Sister Mary Elephant routine. It had the big rolling paper in it but I didn't know what it was so I threw it away.
I've always regretted that.

In 1967 I was 16 and still a year away from breaking the law re. cannabis. I knew what it was but knew almost nothing about it. I was in Provincetown on summer vacation with the fam and wandered into a poster shop. They had a big bin filled with "roach clips" for sale - I didn't know what they were for.
