Carpenters were a vocal and instrumental duo, consisting of siblings Karen and Richard Carpenter. Carpenters were the #1 selling American music act of the 1970s. Though often referred to by the public as "The Carpenters", the duo's official name on authorized recordings and press materials is simply "Carpenters", without the definite article. During a period in the 1970s when louder and wilder rock was in great demand, Richard and Karen produced a distinctively soft musical style that made them among the best-selling music artists of all time. Ticket to Ride is the first album by Carpenters. At the time of its release in 1969 under the name Offering, it was a commercial failure and produced only one minor hit single - "Ticket to Ride", a ballad version of a song made famous by The Beatles. After the Carpenters' breakthrough however, the album was re-issued internationally under the name Ticket to Ride and sold moderately.01 - Invocation02 - Your Wonderful Parade03 - Someday04 - Get Together05 - All Of My Life06 - Turn Away07 - Ticket To Ride08 - Don't Be Afraid09 - What's The Use10 - All I Can Do11 - Eve12 - Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing13 - BenedictionLINK |
 Wigwam is a Finnish progressive rock band formed in 1968 after the split of the seminal Blues Section, with whom drummer Ronnie Österberg had played before. He formed the band as a trio, but soon brought in British expatriate singer/songwriter Jim Pembroke (also in BS) and organist Jukka Gustavson. A year later, Pekka Pohjola joined on bass. Kim Fowley produced Wigwam's second album Tombstone Valentine (1970). This album also featured an excerpt of Erkki Kurenniemi's electronic composition 'Dance of the Anthropoids'. The 1974 album Being is often called Wigwam's masterpiece. After its release, though, Pohjola and Gustavson quit the band. Hard N' Horny is the debut album.01 - 633 Jesu Fåglar02 - Pidäan Sinusta03 - En Aio Paeta04 - Neron Muistolle; Hyvää Yötä05 - Guardian Angel, The Future06 - No Pens, Ei Karsinoita07 - Henry's Mountain Range Or Thereabouts08 - Henry's Geographical And Astronomical Mistakes09 - Henry's Highway Code10 - Henry's Ghastly And Diabolical Mistakes11 - Henry's Cancelled Holiday Plans12 - Henry's Concentration Camp Brochure13 - Henry's Ears, Eyes, Girlfriend And Feet14 - Henry's Hard And Horny All-Niter15 - Henry's Milk Round In The MorningLINK |
 Haymarket Square was a Chicago-based psychedelic rock band in the late sixities. The band's name is a reference to the 1886 Haymarket Square Riot, in which eight policemen were killed and seven workers sentenced to death. The album, Magic Lantern (originally issued in 1968) was a major hit, and is well considered by fans of psychedelic rock music even today. The music of the album was used to accompany the original Baron and Bailey Light Circus in the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. The album was reissued by Gear Fab Records in 2001. Gloria Lambert -Vocal, Marc Swenson -Guitar, Vocal, Robert (Bob) Homa -Bass, vocal, John Kowalski- Percussion.01 - Elevator02 - The Train Kept A-Rollin'03 - Ahimsa04 - Amapola05 - Phantasmagoria06 - FuneralLINK |
Though this obscure 1970 LP falls into the general folk-psych-rock category, its focus is so all-over-the-place that it's hard to get a read on it. The group are British, but at times the record seems very influenced by the poppiest side of American folk-rock, particularly in the blends of male and female vocal harmonies, which are extremely reminiscent of the Mamas & the Papas' approach in places. Yet there are also songs that have a more specifically British, gentle reserved acoustic quality; a character portrait of "Mr. Jones" with a whimsical British feel; and occasional off-the-wall burning fuzzy psychedelic guitar. At its most mature, it's slightly similar to, if an obscure reference point is allowed, the folk-prog-rock recordings that Giles, Giles & Fripp made as they were morphing into King Crimson (though not nearly as inspired). At its sappiest and most cooing, it could almost pass for a Californian sunshine pop recording. What the songs lack, however, are memorable choruses, or much cohesion between the parts, although the individual parts (especially the female vocalists' contributions) are often pretty. File under the section with the many stylistically confused rock bands of the period who had some talent and tried hard to say something important, but didn't quite have the goods.(OoD)01 - Flying - Love you more than it's good for me to - Nostrils02 - She brings the morning with her03 - Back to Boulder04 - Traveller05 - See saw06 - Mini splurge - Mr. Jones - Is that good that's nice07 - Clocks - Hey I used to know you08 - Unknown journey09 - Leave me be10 - Clown LINK |
 McGuinness Flint was a rock band formed in 1970 by Tom McGuinness, former bassist and guitarist with Manfred Mann, and Hughie Flint, former drummer with John Mayall; plus vocalist and keyboard player Dennis Coulson, and multi-instrumentalists and songwriters Benny Gallagher and Graham Lyle. With a varying subsequent line-up, "they earned a loyal following in Britain, but in the United States they were scarcely more than a cult act, despite a top-flight lineup and a sound that should have been a natural for the era". After a succession of excellent albums, the band eventually split in 1975. Between 1970 & 1971, McGuinness Flint recorded several sessions for BBC Radio 1. The best of these are Malt & Barley Blues, compiled by Tom McGuinness in 2002.01 - Lazy Afternoon02 - Bodang Buck03 - Mister Mister04 - Heritage05 - Letting You Know06 - Let It Ride07 - Dream, Darling Dream08 - When I'm Dead And Gone09 - Brother Psycho10 - Who You Got To Love11 - International12 - Malt And Barley Blues13 - Rock OnLINK |

 Joy of Cooking was an American folk-rock band, formed in 1967 in Berkeley, California. It was unusual in that it was led by two women - pianist Toni Brown and guitarist Terry Garthwaite (also known as Ruby Green). The rest of the band consisted of bass guitarist David Garthwaite (Terry's Brother), drummer Fritz Kasten and percussion player Ron Wilson. Keyboard player Stevie Roseman replaced Toni Brown for a time and bass players Happy Smith and eventually Jeff Neighbor replaced David Garthwaite on bass guitar. The music was a mix of "hippy" sensibility on blues and folk roots, and the lyrics often reflected feminist or environmental themes. Joy of Cooking recorded three albums with Capitol Records, this is the 1971 debut album 01 - Hush02 - Too Late, But Not Forgotten03 - Down My Dream04 - If Some God (Sometimes You Gotta Go Home)05 - Did You Go Downtown06 - Dancing Couple07 - Brownsville Mockingbird 08 - Red Wine At Noon09 - Only Time Will Tell Me10 - Children's HouseLINK |
 Dion & the Belmonts was a leading American vocal group of the late 1950s. The group formed when Dion DiMucci, lead singer, joined The Belmonts: Carlo Mastrangelo, baritone, Freddie Milano, second tenor, and Angelo D'Aleo, first tenor, in late 1957. After an unsuccessful first single, the group was signed to Laurie Records. Their breakthrough came when "I Wonder Why" reached No. 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and the group appeared for the first time on American Bandstand. They followed it with the ballads "No One Knows" (No. 19) and "Don’t Pity Me" (No. 40). This success won Dion and the Belmonts their first major tour in late 1958, with The Coasters, Buddy Holly and Bobby Darin, and this was followed up by the "Winter Dance Party" tour with Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper. On 2 February 1959, after playing at the Surf Ballroom, Dion decided that he could not afford the $36 cost of a flight to the next venue. The plane crashed; Holly, Valens, The Big Bopper, and the pilot were killed on 3 February 1959, shortly after midnight. However, the tour continued, with Jimmy Clanton and Bobby Vee being added to the bill as replacements. In October 1960, Dion decided to quit for a solo career. The Belmonts also continued to release records, but with less success.01 - A Teenager In Love02 - Runaround Sue03 - I Wonder Why04 - The Wanderer05 - Where Or When06 - A Lover's Prayer07 - Lovers Who Wander08 - No One Knows09 - When You Wish Upon A Star10 - Lonely Teenager11 - Little Diana12 - Love Came To Me13 - Sandy14 - The Majestic15 - In The Still Of The Night16 - Don't Pity Me17 - (I Was) Born To Cry18 - Every Little Thing I DoLINK |
 The Blues Project was a band from the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City that was formed in 1965 and originally split up in 1967. While their songs drew from a wide array of musical styles, they are most remembered as one of the earliest practitioners of psychedelic rock, as well as one of the world's first jam bands, along with the Grateful Dead. In 1966, the band included Al Kooper, Danny Kalb on guitar, Steve Katz (having recently departed the Even Dozen Jug Band) also on guitar, Andy Kulberg on bass and flute, Roy Blumenfeld on drums and Tommy Flanders on vocals. Possible dates of this record, August 30-September 6 or September 7-15, 1966

 The Chocolate Watch Band, was a psychedelic rock and garage rock band formed in San Jose, California in 1965. The band had finally broken up indefinitely by 1970 but then reunited in 1999 at a 66/99 show Mike Stax organized in San Diego. They continue to play today at garage rock shows in Europe as well as the States with Little Steven and the Electric Prunes. The band's music was largely described as a blend of 1960s-style garage rock with a distinguishable rolling San Francisco sound. The group's early music appeared to contain blues influences, and later it developed psychedelic elements through use of instrumental experimentation. The band also appeared in the 1967 film Riot on Sunset Strip and the 1968 film "The Love Ins".. No Way Out is the debut album of the band.01 - Let's Talk About Girls02 - In The Midnight Hour03 - Come On04 - Dark Side Of The Mushroom05 - Hot Dusty Road06 - Are You Gonna Be There (At The Love-In)07 - Gone And Passes By08 - No Way Out09 - Expo 200010 - Gossamer Wings11 - In The Midnight Hour (Previously Unissued Version)12 - Milk Cow Blues13 - Psychedelic Trip (Previously Unissued)LINK |

 49th Parallel was one of an unusual breed of garage punk bands to come out of Canada in the mid-'60s. Originally known as the Shades of Blond when they were formed in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, the band featured Dennis Abbott on vocals, Dan Lowe and Bob Carlson on guitars, Dave Petch at the organ, Mick Woodhouse on bass, and Terry Bare on drums. 49th Parallel was renamed Painter and later Hammersmith in the 1970s. At their best, 49th Parallel had a hard, cutting sound that could have put them in the front ranks of garage punk bands, their slashing guitars and swirling organ around Abbott's lead vocals making a compelling and memorable sound, which was easily adaptable to psychedelic punk. Their slow ballads were suitably spacey in a pop/rock vein, but it was their harder numbers that hold up best. Like a lot of '60s bands, they outlived their era and metamorphosed into new shapes and directions.01 - Labourer02 - You Do Things03 - She Says04 - Blue Bonnie Blue05 - Up To No Good06 - Now That I'm A Man07 - Get Away08 - Eye To Eye09 - Missouri10 - (Come On Little Child) Talk To Me11 - Magician12 - Lazerander Filcny13 - Close The Barn Door14 - The People15 - Good Time Baby16 - I Need You17 - Citizen FreakLINK |
 Yes are an English progressive rock band formed in London in 1968, generally regarded as one of the archetypal bands and pioneers of the genre. Despite many lineup changes, occasional splits within the group and the ever-changing trends in popular music, the band has continued for over forty years and still retains a large following. Fragile is the fourth album by Yes, released on Atlantic Records. It was the band's first album with keyboardist Rick Wakeman after the departure of Tony Kaye, and the first to feature cover art by Roger Dean, his work emblematic of both the band and progressive rock as a whole. Fragile was issued in the UK in November 1971, but was held back in North America for two months because of the chart momentum of The Yes Album. It peaked at #4 on the Billboard 200 during a stay of 46 weeks, and as Atlantic 2401 019 reached #7 in the UK album chart.01 - Roundabout02 - Cans And Brahms03 - We Have Heaven04 - South Side Of The Sky05 - Five Per Cent For Nothing06 - Long Distance Runaround07 - The Fish (Shindleria Praematurus)08 - Mood For A Day09 - Heart Of The SunriseLINK |
 Overdub is the second album from San Francisco-based band Womb. Great late 60's acid sounds, plenty of fuzz guitar, trippy studio effects, and female vocals.

 Uriel were an English psychedelic/blues band formed in 1968, consisting of Steve Hillage (guitar/vocals), Dave Stewart (organ), Clive Brooks (drums) and Mont Campbell (bass/vocals). The band produced their sole album under the name Arzachel in June 1969. This is one of the real delights of late '60s heavy psych. The album Arzachel was recorded and mixed in a single session in London. The level of musicianship and high-octane energy level lift Arzachel above most records of the genre.01 - Garden Of Earthly Delights02 - Azathoth03 - Queen St. Gang04 - Leg05 - Clean Innocent Fun06 - MetempsychosisLINK |
Great and fantastic psychedelic LP from this Texas group, recorded in 1969 but released just in 1989. Dark psych explorations sometimes reminding 13 Floor elevators, sometimes the darkest Doors sounds ,HP Lovecraft,etc. There is a controversy on this album: which is the name of the band? Cold Sun or Dark Shadows?
"As with many things in their history, the name "Cold Sun” is enigmatic. The 1989 retrospective album on the Rockadelic label that first brought the Sonobeat recordings to light didn’t even appear under that name, but as "Dark Shadows” which is the title of a popular 1960s mystery TV series. In the liner notes Miller denied ever having been in a band called Cold Sun, and suggested that they had always been called Dark Shadows. However he had referred to the band’s real name in a 1976 interview, where he mentioned that before playing with Roky Erickson in the Aliens he "spent seven years developing the electric auto-harp with a band called Cold Sun”.(from Fantasy)
