Con la participaci\u00f3n de un elenco rotativo de artistas del sello San Francisco Sound, propiedad de Katz, refleja la creatividad y el esp\u00edritu experimental de la Bay Area en su momento m\u00e1s lis\u00e9rgico.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>M\u00e1s que una recopilaci\u00f3n tradicional de varios artistas, Fifth Pipe Dream fue dise\u00f1ado como una experiencia auditiva unificada: m\u00faltiples bandas contribuyen a un \u00fanico viaje psicod\u00e9lico y fluido. En una \u00e9poca en la que este formato era pr\u00e1cticamente desconocido, Katz produjo un lanzamiento que desaf\u00eda g\u00e9neros y que fue adelantado a su tiempo.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>El \u00e1lbum re\u00fane a figuras clave de la escena psicod\u00e9lica underground de finales de los a\u00f1os 60 en San Francisco, incluyendo Tripsichord Music Box (con extensas e inmersivas jams psicod\u00e9licas); West Coast Natural Gas \u2014err\u00f3neamente acreditados como Indian Puddin\u2019 &amp; Pipe en la edici\u00f3n original\u2014 con potente garage psicod\u00e9lico y folk-rock; It\u2019s A Beautiful Day (con esencial material primerizo) y la oscura y fascinante banda psicod\u00e9lica Black Swan.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>El \u00e1lbum transita con fluidez entre diferentes estilos mientras mantiene una atm\u00f3sfera cohesionada y alucin\u00f3gena.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Publicado en noviembre de 1968 por el sello San Francisco Sound, el disco refleja tanto la explosi\u00f3n creativa como las controvertidas pr\u00e1cticas empresariales de la \u00e9poca. Katz controlaba de forma notoria los nombres de las bandas y las grabaciones, lo que provoc\u00f3 acreditaciones err\u00f3neas en el disco y disputas legales continuas con artistas como Moby Grape y Jefferson Airplane.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>A pesar de ello (o quiz\u00e1s precisamente por ello), Fifth Pipe Dream se mantiene como una fascinante instant\u00e1nea de una escena en transformaci\u00f3n, donde la ambici\u00f3n art\u00edstica, la experimentaci\u00f3n y las tensiones de la industria chocaban.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>La ic\u00f3nica portada gatefold \u2014ilustrada por la artista de posters psicod\u00e9licos Donna Wallace-Cohen\u2014 existe en dos variantes: una versi\u00f3n original en escala de grises y una edici\u00f3n posterior en color (coloreada sin la participaci\u00f3n de la artista original).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Aunque nunca apareci\u00f3 un volumen posterior, Fifth Pipe Dream sigue siendo una obra de culto fundamental de la era psicod\u00e9lica original de San Francisco. Su concepto \u00fanico, grabaciones exclusivas y su historia enigm\u00e1tica contin\u00faan fascinando tanto a coleccionistas como a historiadores.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Para esta primera reedici\u00f3n oficial, hemos optado por la portada original en escala de grises, siguiendo el deseo de la dise\u00f1adora Donna Wallace-Cohen, aunque incluye por primera vez el nombre correcto de la banda West Coast Natural Gas en lugar de Indian Puddin\u2019 And Pipe.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>*Sonido cuidadosamente remasterizado<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>*Arwork original en portada gatefold<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>*Insert a color de cuatro paneles con notas detalladas y fotos \/ memorabilia<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Tracklist:<\/p>\n<p>Side 1: 1.

At a time when this format was virtually unheard of, Katz assembled a genre-defying release that still feels ahead of its time. The album brings together key underground acts from the late \u201960s psychedelic scene from San Francisco, including Tripsichord Music Box (with some extended, mind-expanding psychedelic jams); West Coast Natural Gas - miscredited as Indian Puddin\u2019 &amp; Pipe - with some killer psychedelic garage &amp; folk-rock; It\u2019s A Beautiful Day (with essential early material) and the obscure psych band Black Swan.

A real fest of fuzzed-out psychedelia , garage and folk-rock** Conceived by legendary (and controversial) producer Matthew Katz, Fifth Pipe Dream \u2013 Volume I is a groundbreaking psychedelic album from 1968 that blurs the line between compilation and concept record. Featuring a rotating cast of Katz\u2019s San Francisco Sound artists, it encapsulates the creativity and experimental spirit of the Bay Area at its lysergic peak. Rather than a traditional various-artists compilation, Fifth Pipe Dream was designed as a unified listening experience\u2014multiple bands contributing to a single, flowing psychedelic journey. At a time when this format was virtually unheard of, Katz assembled a genre-defying release that still feels ahead of its time. The album brings together key underground acts from the late \u201960s psychedelic scene from San Francisco, including Tripsichord Music Box (with some extended, mind-expanding psychedelic jams); West Coast Natural Gas - miscredited as Indian Puddin\u2019 & Pipe - with some killer psychedelic garage & folk-rock; It\u2019s A Beautiful Day (with essential early material) and the obscure psych band Black Swan. The album moves seamlessly across styles while maintaining a cohesive, trippy atmosphere. Released in November 1968 under Katz\u2019s San Francisco Sound imprint, the album reflects both the creative explosion\u2014and the business controversies\u2014of the era. Katz famously controlled band names and recordings, leading to miscredited tracks and ongoing legal disputes with artists like Moby Grape and Jefferson Airplane. Despite (or because of) this, Fifth Pipe Dream stands as a fascinating snapshot of a scene in flux\u2014where artistic ambition, experimentation, and industry tensions collided. The iconic gatefold cover\u2014illustrated by poster artist Donna Wallace-Cohen\u2014exists in two variants: an original greyscale version and a later, more vivid color edition (which was colorized without the original artist\u2019s involvement). Though no follow-up volume ever appeared, Fifth Pipe Dream remains a cult cornerstone of the original San Francisco psychedelic era. Its unique concept, rare recordings, and mysterious history continues to intrigue collectors and historians alike. For this, the first ever official reissue, we\u2019ve opted for the original grey scale cover as per original designer Donna Wallace-Cohen\u2019s request but it features for the first time ever the right band name of West Coast Natural Gas instead of Indian Puddin\u2019 And Pipe. *Carefully remastered sound *Original artwork in gatefold sleeve *Four-panel color insert with detailed liner notes and photos \/ memorabilia Tracklist: Side 1: 1.
