I remember that I owned the first dBs album but didn't go nuts for it, until
one afternoon while under the influence of the kind of substance some
cultures use for shamanic or ritualistic purposes... and it sounded to me
like some great lost album from the late 60s, and ever since I've held it to
be a classic.
Like This-era dBs is great to but I agree, 2 different bands.
