A secondary effect related to Cherry Red has acquised the TEB's Harvest full catalogue clearly has been the publication of their tracks in many compilations. This is the last one published by Grapefruit and it shows the old National Balkan Ensemble's "Cosmic Trip" (anyway already officially available on the "Alchemy" remastered edition).
I don't know if this tune can be classify as "psychedelic music", because the ambiguity of the term, but it's a great track and it can be useful for letting people know the Third Ear Band's music.

• Featuring studio demos from the likes of Tintern Abbey, The Soft Machine, Mabel Greer’s Toyshop, Genesis, Mandrake Paddle Steamer, Dantalian’s Chariot and others plus numerous cult 45s (July, Caleb, Vamp, Blossom Toes, Sweet Feeling, etc) and fascinating album cuts from such scene stalwarts as Tomorrow, Fairport Convention, Kaleidoscope, The Deviants and Elmer Gantry’s Velvet Opera.
Perhaps most enticingly of all, the collection includes a number of hitherto-unknown recordings by bands who are only now gaining their first public exposure including Eyes Of Blond, Tinsel Arcade, Crystal Ship (whose contribution features lyrics from Pete Brown) and the semi-mythical 117, such a legendary name from the era’s handbills and posters that they even had a UK psych fanzine named after them in the ‘90s.
A dazzling feat of licensing and research, ‘Think I’m Going Weird…’ comes in a 60-page A5 book format with 25,000-word track-by-track annotation with some extraordinary and rare photos and memorabilia.
For anyone even remotely interested in British psychedelia, it’s simply an essential purchase.
