The Daily Psychedelic

This series by Jack Savage is indebted to his record collecting past, and love of Psychedelic and Progessive music from the late 1960’s and early 1970’s.

His intentions were to push the boundaries of imagination to the limit, drawing upon the culture of rare record collecting and LP cover art – a passion he held for 25 years. Eclectic genres of Krautrock, Psychedelia, Italian Film Music, Early Electronica, Soul, Funk, Blues, Jazz, UK Progressive and US Psychedelia – specifically from the era 1967 – 1974 are re-imagined from a contemporary photographic standpoint.
