From the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, Blue Sandlewood Soap was one of
relatively few '60s psychedelic groups from the region (though there
were others, such as C.A. Quintet and, on some of their records, the
Litter and T.C. Atlantic). They issued just one single, "Friends I
Haven't Yet Met"/"Love !pirT" (sic), though that 45, plus a good deal of
unreleased material from the time, appears on the CD Loring Park
Love-Ins. Take the amateurish '60s garage rock that's filled up many a
Pebbles-type compilation and add a good deal of acid-inspired lyrics,
constant tempo changes, and odd fragmented song structures and you get
Blue Sandlewood Soap. Like their name, it's an awkward mixture of
ingredients, instrumentally dominated by Harley Toberman's Farfisa organ
and some pretty clumsy drug flash journal lyrics.
