West Coast Pop Art Experiment - VOL.2 (Vinyl)

The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band (WCPAEB) was an American psychedelic rock band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1965. In late 1967, the WCPAEB released their third album, Vol. 2 (Breaking Through), which was the band's most ambitious work to date.

The album featured a peculiar cover photo of Markley and the Harris brothers sitting bare-chested in a silver bathroom, and a bold declaration on the backside: "Every song in this album has been written, arranged, sung and played by the group. No one censored us. We got to say everything we wanted to say, in the way we wanted to say it".

For the first time, each track was credited either in whole or in part to members of the WCPAEB. Among its ten tracks, the album included the politically satirical "In the Arena", possibly inspired by the Watts riots. Vol. 2 (Breaking Through) also features the anti-war song "Suppose They Gave a War and No One Comes", the full version of "Smell of Incense", and a rare instance of Markley singing is found on "Unfree Child".
