Ultimate Spinach – Behold & See

Masterpiece. Unlike any other psych album in my collection not a single bad song! The shorter songs mainly Where You’re At, and Gilded Lamp of The Cosmos give me a Jefferson Airplane vibe especially the vocals which are very reminiscent of Grace Slick. My favorite track is easily Mind Flowers with those spacey vocals heavy guitar sound and trance like nature. Super hyped to get this for 30$ at a local store definitely worth it. is the mono mix worth seeking out and spending the extra money for?

This is a low quality unofficial release, no need to pay 50-60 euros for this while the akarma 2LP version is on print and in much cheaper price

Looking for cover only. Please hit me up! Love & Peace to all✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

Please tell me why this is not the true essence of psychedelic rock. In A Gadda Da Vida wins the basic case of being a sick jam song, but when you include the effects, sound balancing, and instrumentation, this album is a winner. Better than Tomorrow Never Knows and better than any other major psychedelic song. There is no hate for the songs compared to this album.

This is an album that genuinely makes you listen. There is no free space. You will find that every nook and cranny within each song, it's been filled. Maybe not Where You're At, but the rest is incredibly full in sound.

Pretty sure the song Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse is split with different takes, because during a slow section before the bass comes back with the drums, the beats don't sound right, so it's either a strange sounding mistake, or they used different takes.

This album is still a 10/10 for me and always will be. It's shaped my music tastes, and I couldn't be happier.

in contrast with other 80s psychedelic rock of Greece, this was a fully legitimate reissue (the first one chronologically). And its sound is fantastic! Clear, punchy, rich, and vivid sound waves are blown from its grooves, which allow you to enjoy fully the amazing music works of the recording! The cover is also printed with care, with details well taken care of, and bright colors! All in all, a strongly recommended reissue!

It blows my mind that I found this pressing at a local antiques store in the half off bin for eight bucks. Seeing how much it's going for now is incredible. So lucky I got it for cheap. Musically, it's exactly up my alley, heavy acid soaked spacey psych glory. Wish I was around to see this groovy band on stage. Bet they have some amazing trip stories. Audio wise, it's far from an audiophile pressing. The lows are nice and present, but the high end is really cut off. But it's warm and clear as well. The vocals, especially on the peak of the album, Mind Flowers, absolutely fucking rip when he screams "LET IT GO!" as his ego dies in an LSD trip (I assume)

There are some tracks that aren't totally amazing, but within the context of the whole record, it works. Definitely a 4/5 record and easily one of the most overlooked hidden gems of all the psychedelic albums from the late 60s.

This album is the epitome of psychedelic rock. From start to finish, every track is superb. A truly unique listening experience.

Snagged a prestine condition copy while I was up in Portland, Maine. I noticed on the spine "Spinach" is mispelled as "Spinash." It's spelled correctly on the rest of the record. Anybody else's copy have this?

Not a great version of this album. The pressing Sounds okay (not great) it is a very quiet pressing. The biggest problem for me is the vinyl quality is not the best, lots of pops and crackles even after washing. The quality of the sleeve is not so good it feels really cheap. If you are looking for Decent repress the akarma pressing is the one to go with.
