- Dive into the psychedelic grooves of The Chocolate Watchband with my latest video, where I showcase the iconic album 'Inner Mystique' from 1968. This video is a vibrant contribution to @seekingathread's Acid Archives journey, exploring the depths of the Acid Archives book's treasures. Join me as I unveil the story and sounds behind 'Inner Mystique' and its place in the psychedelic rock legacy.
In this video, not only will you get an in-depth look at 'Inner Mystique,' but I'll also take you through a retrospective of The Chocolate Watchband's discography, including their 1967 debut 'No Way Out' and their adventurous 1969 album 'One Step Beyond.' Discover why The Chocolate Watchband, with their garage rock vibes and psychedelic soundscapes, became regarded as America's answer to the Rolling Stones.
For fans and collectors alike, follow the links to explore detailed Discogs entries for each featured album:
1967's No Way Out (Canadian Mono)
1968's The Inner Mystique (US Stereo)
1969's One Step Beyond (US Stereo & US Stereo WLP)
The Chocolate Watchband, formed in Los Altos, California, in 1965, underwent several lineup changes but consistently delivered a powerful blend of psychedelic and garage rock. Their journey from Tower Records signees to psychedelic rock legends is a tale of musical rebellion and artistic exploration, with 'The Inner Mystique' holding a special place in their legacy.

Excellent!
Cool vid Chris, thanks for the CW info !
Love their Kinks' cover, too. Thanks, Chris
I love that one too!!
awesome, you own all 3 Chocolate Watch band albums, too chris!!
yes.. been a fan for awhile now, they really are great.. in the video the record I was holding wasn't a 1st Canadian it was the 1st US stereo I said I couldn't find :)
Good pick again. I need to pull my copy of Inner Mystique, its been years since I played it. I do love their version of Baby Blue.
Thanks Dom. I plan on doing more of these videos. Your video's are great!
I like Chocolate Watchband. I don’t have One Step Beyond.
Prefer the original mono single mix of Baby Blue, without the goofy overdubbed flute and what-have-you. As much as some of the psychy, floaty instrumental tracks are ok, it bugs me that they masquerade under the name 'Chocolate Watchband' when NONE of the band were involved. IIRC, I think either their manger or producer owned the rights to the name, so they could do whatever they liked with it. Shoulda checked the small print, fellas...
Thanks for the comment.. I actually enjoy the flute and the what-have-you but I don't think I have heard the Mono 7" cut. I'll have to look for that.
@@VinylPiper allow me! It's the same basic take but without the dubs and a stronger (IMO) mono mix. czcams.com/video/aAr2yr8Q9JE/video.htmlsi=I8OFGxzJRSSqJwW9
