Originally released in 1968, the now impossible to find self titled album by Les Fleurs de Pavot is considered as the first french psychedelic/hippie record. A veil of mistery surrounded the real origins of the band at the time...according to their press release, they were formed by a couple of hippies, Groovy Pat from London and Jesus from San Francisco who met at some show in Paris...the reality was more unglamorous: Les Fleurs De Pavot were in fact a twist band called Les Bourgeois de Calais, transformed into exploitation acid-eater hippies by their manager JP Rawson.
