Formed in 1964 in San Jose, California, USA, Count Five were a classic one-hit wonder whose Yardbirds-inspired psychedelic-punk hit Psychotic Reaction, reached the US Top 5 in 1966. They first drew attention by wearing Dracula-style capes to their gigs. After recording one album, also titled PSYCHOTIC REACTION, they continued to release singles before disbanding in 1969.

Band Line Up:

As they were in 1966
COUNT ONE! John "Sean" Byrne, 19, vocalist, rhythm guitar, composter, sophomore at San Jose City College, a native of Dublin, Ireland.

I removed the blank spaces and fixed a few bad edits, checked and corrected the speed. I checked and eliminated DC offset. I have included an edits removed file which contains all the sound from the edits made when sound was deleted or patched. Also included is a crackle removed sample file so you can hear what was removed. If you burn as audio don't include these files on the audio disc.

I did the editing, mastering (tweaking), analog to digital transfer and artwork for this version of this show. Don't add to, change or remove any of these files. Keep the text, md5 and artwork files unaltered, together with the FLAC's

Don't rename directories or file names if you share this. My concern is that when people rename them they drop information like date, venue, location, T number. This information is useful to others when searching for or deciding which version of a show they want or already have.

Don't alter the sound of this recording. The T releases are not to be used as a source for anyones so called remastering projects. If you really want to do something find a better quality recording of the show and work from that. Don't just take what I have worked on and screw with it.

For Trade or Give Away Only - Do Not Sell - Do Not Encode As MP3 Virus Files - MD or any other format which degrades the quality of the recording
