The great lost San Francisco band of the mid sixties. Less overtly psychedelic than a lot of their better known contemporaries. Taking their name from the misheard 'mystery tramp' line in Dylan's Like a Rolling Stone, they released just one single during their lifetime (posted above), broke up inopportunely in the summer of 1967 and had a collection of their recorded tracks released retrospectively in 1998. The singer's voice is strangely reminiscent of Micky Dolenz. Endlessly inventive arrangements. More here. Oh by the way, it's Friday!
