Fave cut is "Midsummer Night's Dream," which puts the "You Really Got Me" riff to good use in a late '60s psych context (it sounds better than it reads). The songs sound too similar to each other, but it is more low-key than you'd expect given Lemmy's later resume. Not terrible, but they definitely sound like a bill-filler, likely to be found as the opening band for much more interesting musicians in the U.K. You have to be a very good group to pull this off well, and Sam Gopal were not very good they were adequate, at best. Late-period British psychedelia with snaky psychedelic-blues guitar lines, anguished vocals, a bit of an Eastern-folk bent to the melodies and a sheen of stoned mysticism to the lyrics. This label only put out two releases: the Sam Gopal record and The Deviants Disposable. This record originally came out in 1969 on Stable Records, an obscure label formed by Simon Stable. Sam Gopal fronts the band and still plays tabla, but Lemmy's voice is the loudest thing in the mix, and his fuzzed-out guitar is all over the disc. The band Sam Gopal plays acid rock for stoners favoring the dark side. Around the same time they used to play at the UFO in London, Ian Willis (aka Lemmy) was a roadie for Jimi Hendrix, after leaving his Mod band The Rocking Vicars. Sam Gopal Dream was the soft and trippy raga ensemble fronted by tabla player Sam Gopal. * Ian " Lemmy" Willis (vocals, lead guitar, rhythm guitar). * Roger D'Elia (lead guitar, acoustic guitar, rhythm guitar), ~ Tim Yohannan (from Maximum Rocknroll #19, November 1984). There's even Midnight owner, JD, doing his tribute, à la Phil Specter's Xmas LP, to the season. There's killer stuff from YARD TRAUMA,NADROJ & THE WOLRATS (doing the SONICS' "She's Waiting" with new lyrics), CHEEPSKATES, among others. Other than a few too-pop or rockabilly clunkers on side one, we are left with an excellent '60s-punk type compilation of various contemporary groups.
