the song's "haunting sound of the Vox Continental organ, the almost raga-sounding droning guitar, played through a Vox Super Beatle. The eastern-sounding sax. The almost-military tattoo of the drum. The slightly out-of-tune instruments", which he wrote, create a "unique sonic foundation over which the story unfolds". The song was first reissued on the unofficial album Acid Dreams in 1979. Additional appearances include 60s Punk Sampler, Volume 2, Acid Dreams Testament, and Psychedelic Unknowns, Volume 5. It was also prominently featured on the Nuggets compilation, Where the Action Is! Los Angeles Nuggets: 1965-1968, after Bowles paved the way for the song's inclusion. In 2011, "Acid Head" became the opening track to an album of the same name, which compiles all the Velvet Illusions' released material. Another similar album, released on vinyl, called Velvet Illusions also features the tune. References 1966 songs 1966 debut singles Songs about drugs
