The Blue Magoos got to get away

Got to get away: 1966. Blues Magoos. I’ll tell you what, I learned the word Psychedelic from these teens from the Bronx New York. Their debut album was called: Psychedelic lollipop. They didn’t look like Hippies. They had that Carnaby Street Mod look. This garage band made a dent in the charts with “We aint got nothing yet”. For the likes of me, I couldn't figure why they didn’t become a huge band? I bought the single, then the L.P. I loved their version of Gloria. Now on the flip side of “We got nothing yet” was a gem called: Got to get away. This song was the first time I heard the sound effect of Echo-Plex. By using this sound effect they made this blues song into an early acid rock classic.
