I have so many of these albums on this list, fun stuff.
Some of the first fretless bass, The United States Of America:

 

[75Ric]

 

[GretschWretch]

Another early one:

Vox Cougar sighting. Yay!

 

[GretschWretch]

Jefferson Airplane - Ballad of You & Me & Pooneil.

The whole After Bathing at Baxter's album is so tripped out....

True this. I especially like the last number on side two.

 

[Fernando Costa]

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida (1968). All 17 glorious minutes of it!

This is unbeatable! And, of course, a lot of early Pink Floyd stuff.

 

[75Ric]

Don't forget about Psychedelic Soul

 

[GretschWretch]

Not sure if a tune can truly be considered "psychedelic" if its entire raison d'être is to mock and make fun of psychedelic music, but, from 1967, this one always struck me as pretty trippy:

The first three Zappa albums mocked and made fun of everything.

[Jaygetsreal]

One of the early psychedelic tunes, complete with paisley jackets

Off topic a bit, thankfully there is no photographic record but my mum made me a paisley waistcoat for my school band's one and only debut in 1972. The performance was very un-psychedelic

 

[Freekmagnet]

Time is a great album. “Funky” is my favorite track.
