Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Having relocated to Marin County in Northern California in the Spring of 1968, H.P. Lovecraft's second, & it must be said, superior album, appeared later that same year. H.P. Lovecraft II was reputedly the first major label album (both records were originally released on the Philips label) where all those involved in the recording were actually high on acid! Radioactive.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the one., December 6, 2005

By	meister brk "brk" (georgia usa) - See all my reviews

Heard this years ago. Until I stumbled onto it by accident, I couldn't remember who did it, nor what the "album" was called. Anyway, this one is best by itself, not embedded in amongst other H.P.Lovecraft material. Nothing else measures up. This is the one, all by itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Unknown Favorite, June 10, 2008

By	Aaron Hecht - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My dad has had this since the late sixties when it came out. I was at his place and on a vinyl kick and he asked me "Hey have you ever heard of HP Lovecraft?" Like the writer? I oh so ignorantly asked. "No, nothing at all like that. Check this out..." So he laid it on his turntable and I was transported into a lost world of crazy electro-organs and wacko voices. It was quite an amazing album. I insisted on digitizing the album and have been making people listen to "Spin, Spin, Spin" the first cut on the album for a while now. Everyone is amazed they've never heard of this truly wonderful album.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lost classic gem from the 60's, January 14, 2007

By	Elan Bodwick (las vegas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Easily one of the best and most innovative "psychedlic" albums from the era. Freakout hippie jams combined with classical and electronic(yes early electronic) touches- great harmony vocals ala Jefferson Airplane which H.P. resembles at time but in my opinion much better. This album is truly a lost classic album and has been one of the better purchases ive made in recent years. My only complaint is the short duration- just over 33 minutes and no liner notes in the booklet. It isnt to often that one stubles onto something so good as this- if this album was recorded on acid then the trip was worth it!
