The term “Bosstown Sound” was DJ Dick Summer’s valiant
yet failed attempt to promote Boston as the next San Francisco in the late
sixties. At the forefront of the movement was Ultimate Spinach, a psychedelic
conglomerate led by an acid muncher named Ian Bruce-Douglas and supported by a bunch of
squares. Though the group is only known by the most hardcore psych acolytes
today, and they never even tried to score a hit single, Ultimate Spinach’s
eponymous debut album did surprisingly well, even climbing to #34 in the LP
charts, and is remembered fondly by a dedicated few.
