{"product_id":"the-smoke-its-smoke-time-green","title":"The Smoke - It's Smoke Time [Green]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Smoke's It's Smoke Time is a little-known gem of 1960s British psychedelia, returning in an expanded edition on limited 180 gram green vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReleased in 1967, the album came from a Yorkshire band whose biggest moment, the single My Friend Jack, landed them in trouble at home over its drug-tinged lyrics while finding a far warmer welcome on the continent. That mix of notoriety and obscurity has made the band a favourite among collectors of freakbeat and early psych, and the album remains their essential statement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy Friend Jack is the obvious draw, a swirling, hook-laden blast of fuzz guitar and dreamy harmonies that still sounds wonderfully strange. High in a Room drifts on hazy, trippy textures, while Waterfall shows a softer, melodic side with a gentle, cascading arrangement. Wake Up Cherylina brings the jangle and a dose of mod energy, a reminder that these were musicians raised on beat-group grit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sound is pure 1967, with ringing guitars, rumbling bass and a sense of playful experimentation that was spreading through British pop at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fans of the era's more obscure corners, this expanded edition makes a welcome addition, and the green vinyl is a fitting touch for a record steeped in summer-of-love colour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57518443036977,"sku":"5036436166329","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/1200x1200bb_5029fc95-6ec0-47a6-b029-724dd8cfece2.jpg?v=1794677286","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/the-smoke-its-smoke-time-green","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
