I was saying to someone a few days ago, the 50s were way more psychedelic than a lot of the 60s.Sandman by the Shirelles for example. Joe Meek, Jean Jacques Perry (or was he 60s?), Link Wray, Carl Perkins, "her love rubbed off". Genuinely deranged sounding stuff and other stuff that so corny and idealistic that it's surreal and absurd. Any other examples?

lots of 50s classical types were messing around with tape recorders and sounding pretty out theree.g. Vladimir Ussachevsky - Piece for tape recorder (1956) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E47Zk8riCO4

Maybe a stretch to call it psychedelic, but this has an almost Velvet Underground thing going onhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6l0c9wFoT1I
