![The Common People: Of The People / By The People / For The People From The Common People [CAROLINE / EMI]](https://cdn.shoplightspeed.com/shops/621399/files/78264419/1652x1652x2/new-vinyl-the-common-people-of-the-people-by-the-p.jpg)
The Common People's 1969 Capitol album Of The People / By The People / For The People From The Common People, back on vinyl. Out September 4, 2026.
A reissue of the only album by The Common People, the 1969 Capitol LP that psych collectors have been chasing for decades. Eleven songs of orchestral, moody psychedelic pop, from "Soon There'll Be Thunder" to "This Life She Is Mine".
The Common People made one album for Capitol in 1969 and then vanished, which is exactly how cult records are born. Of The People / By The People / For The People From The Common People is the full, gloriously long title, and the music matches the ambition: dreamy psychedelic pop with strings and fuzz guitar, sung with the slightly world-weary air of a band who'd seen the summer of love come and go.
"Soon There'll Be Thunder" opens in a rumble, "I Have Been Alone" and "Those Who Love" drift into baroque territory, and "They Didn't Even Go To The Funeral" and "Land Of A Day" bring the darker turns. Original copies change hands for serious money, which makes this a much kinder way in. The title is longer than some of the songs; nobody has ever complained.
