Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
Frank Zappa & The Mothers - We´re only in it for the money
Third Ear Band - Alchemy
Now you said strange albums - I know some that are more extreme than these, which I don´t find particularly strange per se, but those I´ve mentioned are really weird and absurd sounding- and in a good way too IMO.

^But he is asking just for ones from the 60s.
The first one to spring to my mind, though not that weird really, is an artist rather than band name: Jean le Fennec. Here is a track from his 1968 album Phantastic.
I´m a bit tired from my studies today - so things are going pretty slow. My eyes look at words now but naturally form up there own mind... Toooooooo many words!
Cromagnon, Captain Beefheart, Zappa still counts then, and I can´t remember if Third Ear Band´s debut was released in the 60s..?
Soft Machine also did some pretty fun stuff back then methinks.

Strange albums you say?
Cromagnon - Orgasm
That one is from the sixties. The worlds first death metal/black metal song. There's not enough bagpipes in metal.
Cro-Magnon also invented drone on the same album by simply slowing down this track two thirds as well (Toth Scribe 1). Sounds great too. Clever. From 1969. Sounds either like its made 10000 years ago, or in the future.
In 1969 Franz Auffray made an intriguing concept album about popping popcorn. With that he invented B-boy beats:
Its actually a killer album. The 11 minute Son of Popcorn is a true epic.

I like Orgasm a lot, been quite a while since I last listened to it . I'm digging Franz Auffray -- gotta get that album. I think I may have a Dusty Fingers compilation album with one of the tracks.

Pink Floyd - Ummagumma
KC - ItCotKC
David Bowie - Space Oddity
Alice Cooper - can't remember the album name something like Prettys...I think it belonged to one of my mom's sisters for some reason I have it. Played it many years ago and thought weird.

I assume the Alice album was Pretties For You. It was one of the first releases on Zappa's Straight Records label, along with the GTO's and Wildman Fisher. That probably tells you all you need to know about it.
Can you tell me where we're headin'?
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon.

That was supposed to relate to Phantastic, but a couple of posts snuck in between.
The Spoils of War is somewhat like a further out version of USA or Fifty Foot Hose.
I
don't think they ever got a proper release in 67-69 when they they
recorded these, but now there's two albums by them. The selftitled is
the one to get first.
Of course no one were stranger than Tiny
Tim. Have a look at his outrageous performance (singing about global
warming) on this kids show. Great song too:
