 This collection of US Garage Psychedelia, originally appeared in 1968. Though the band was marketed as being from Australia, they were in fact New Yorkers, whose short, sharp songs, snarling guitar and aggressive rhythms anticipate the Punk music with wich the city would become so associated a few years later. Elsewhere on the album are some decididely psychedelic flourishes, making it a must-have for all fans of psych-punk.(From back cover)01 - Don`t You Know What I Mean02 - Look At The Way She Comes03 - Poor Discarded Baby04 - Nothing's Changed05 - She's A Lady06 - Colours Of Our Rainbow07 - Poppa Duke Tyler08 - Strange Feelings09 - Elizabeth10 - You Say11 - Yesterday's Rain12 - Lady Dressed In White13 - Scaltered Children's ToysLINK |
 Soft and delicate, yet melodic, confident and self-assured, this Deram act's only album resides somewhere between period UK country rock (Cochise, Quicksand, Southern Comfort, Quiver) and singer-songwriterdom (Mike Maran, Pete Atkin, Tony Hazzard) with plenty of light and shade thrown in from both sides. Featuring crème de la crème of Britain's studio scene and aided by a sympathetic and lush production, this band manages to produce twelve superbly orchestrated tracks full of energy, effervescence, vigour, character, rich flavour and originality. It also features no less than three lead vocalists and - count them! - five guitarists, including none other than Southern Comfort's Gordon Huntley. Was Eric Bell the same guy who played in Thin Lizzy, on Mk I line-up's biggest hits, "Whiskey In The Jar" and "The Rocker"? Clem Cattini is featured in our other PICKs: Hungry Wolf, Ugly Custard, John Schroeder and Fancy. Jimmy Hastings, of course, needs no introduction, being a long-standing member of Canterbury prog legend Caravan. Eric Bell (guitar), Tony Carr (percussion), Clem Cattini Ork (drums), John Chuter (vocals, guitar, bass), Ant Grouth-Smith (guitar, bass, sax, vocals), Jimmy Hastings (flute), George Howe (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Gordon Huntley (steel guitar), Barry Morgan (drums), Douglas Wright (drums).

 The Clark Hutchinson Band was led by guitarist Mick Hutchinson and keyboardist Andy Clark. Hutchinson began playing with a band called Sons of Fred and then passed to Sam Gopal's Dream, a group in which had much influence on the music of India. There he met Andy Clark, bassist Pete Sears and drummer Franco Franco and settle for Clark Hutchinson. In 1968 the band recorded an album of blues, in line with what happened at that time in England, a sound like Fleetwood Mac, Chicken Shack and The Groundhogs, groups that were exploring other sounds to escape the limitations of traditional blues. Then began his flirtation with progressive rock until its demise in the mid 70's.01 - Free To Be Stoned02 - After Hours03 - In Another Day04 - Best Suit05 - Death, The LoverLINK |

After they recorded their "Leave or Stay" 45 for the Gama label under the name The English Muffins, 32 years later this LP finally sees the light of day via this lovely reissue LP limited to 400 copies and in an old style thick jacket done to look just like the Lp would have looked on the Justice label had it come out way back when. 6 covers include Kinks, Yardbirds and the 5 originals all have an early Stones vibe.

 Strawbs (or The Strawbs) are an English rock band founded in 1964. Although the band started out as a bluegrass group they eventually moved on to other styles such as folk rock, glam rock and progressive rock. They are best known for their hit Part of the Union, which reached number two in the UK charts in February 1973, and for touring with Supertramp in their Crime of the Century Tour, doing their Hero and Heroine Tour, which drew musical similarities and themes. Just A Collection Of Antiques And Curios is a live album by Strawbs recorded at the Queen Elizabeth Hall London on July 11, 1970. The album reached number 27 in the UK Album Charts. The band line-up had changed dramatically from that of the previous album, Dragonfly. Only founder-members Dave Cousins and Tony Hooper remained, double bass player Ron Chesterman and cellist Claire Deniz being replaced by rhythm section John Ford and Richard Hudson. Rick Wakeman also became a full-time member. Thus the band changed from being a folk quartet to a rock quintet. The concert was instrumental in bringing Rick Wakeman's virtuosity to the attention of the music media, who prophesied super-stardom for the keyboard player.01 - Martin Luther King's Dream02 - The Antique Suite03 - Temperament Of Mind04 - Fingertips05 - Song Of A Sad Little Girl06 - Where Is This Dream Of Your Youth07 - The Vision Of The Lady Of The Lake08 - We'll Meet Again Sometime09 - ForeverLINK |
 The Moody Blues are an English rock band. Among their innovations was a fusion with classical music, most notably in their 1967 album Days of Future Passed. The Moody Blues have sold in excess of 70 million albums worldwide and have been awarded 14 platinum and gold discs. As of 2011 they remain active with one member from the original band from 1964 and two more from the 1967 lineup. This Is The Moody Blues is a two LP (later two CDs) compilation album, released in late 1974 while the band was on a self-imposed sabbatical. Though all of the songs were previously released on albums (with the exception of "A Simple Game" which was a 1968 B-side), several of them are heard here in distinctly different mixes. This Is The Moody Blues was a commercial and critical success, reaching #14 in the UK and #11 in the U.S. before 1974 was out.

 Rhinoceros was a rock band established in 1967 by Elektra Records as that label's intended supergroup. The band, while well-respected in many circles, did not live up to the record label's expectations. As one reviewer commented, "Despite the fact that the band could not live up to the expectations that were raised by Elektra Records' publicity machine, Rhinoceros' contributions to rock still deserve more credit than subsequent rock histories give it. Rhinoceros was conceived in August 1967 by Elektra Records producers Frazier Mohawk (Barry Friedman) and Paul Rothchild as a means to create a 'Supergroup' similar to Mohawk's earlier co-creation, Buffalo Springfield, with Stephen Stills. The duo had a short list of potential enlistees including guitarist Doug Hastings (ex-Buffalo Springfield/Daily Flash). In September 1967 the first formal meeting of 12 potential players took place at Mohawk's Laurel Canyon home. Hastings was present as was his former Daily Flash associate and drummer John Keliehor, bassist Kerry Magness (ex-Kingsmen), pianist/singer/songwriter Alan Gerber, and guitarist Danny Kortchmar. However, neither Rothchild nor Mohawk were content with this line-up and continued their search. In November 1967 Mohawk and Rothchild held a second meeting with nearly 20 players in attendance at a Los Angeles motel and from this meeting decide to run with Gerber and Hastings plus guitarist Danny Weis (ex-Iron Butterfly) and singer John Finley (ex-Jon And Lee And The Checkmates). As the fall progresses Weis recommends his former Iron Butterfly bandmate Jerry 'The Bear' Penrod as bassist, while Finley calls on his old keyboardist from Jon & Lee Michael Fonfara to round out the line-up. Better Times Are Coming, their third and last album, appeared in 1970.01 - Better Times02 - Old Age03 - Sweet, Nice 'n' High04 - Just Me05 - Happiness06 - Somewhere07 - It's A Groovy World08 - Insanity09 - Lady Of Fortune10 - Let's Party11 - Rain ChildLINK |
 Kaleidoscope’s fourth and final album (as a band), Bernice, featured more electric guitar work than the earlier albums, and more country influence. There were further personnel changes, adding singer-guitarist Jeff Kaplan, and bassist Ron Johnston who replaced Brotman during the making of the album. Feldthouse also left the group. At the end of 1969, Kaleidoscope contributed two new songs ("Brother Mary" and "Mickey's Tune") to Michelangelo Antonioni's Zabriskie Point, and supported Cream on their American farewell tour. The band split up soon afterwards.01 - Chocolate Whale02 - Another Lover03 - Sneakin' Thru The Ghetto04 - To Know Is Not To Be05 - Lulu Arfin Nanny06 - Lie & Hide07 - Ballad Of Tommy Udo08 - Bernie09 - Soft & Easy10 - New Blue OozeLINK |
 Ellison was an English Canadian Band from Montreal Quebec. The band was originally formed in 1967 as "Jimmy Peace", around the talents of vocalist / guitarist Vincent Marandola and bass player Richard Arcand. In 1969, drummer Robert Cager and guitarist Christian Tremblay joined and the name was changed to Ellison. In 1971 the band released an excellent hard rock styled album on the independent and highly collectable Trans-World label. Mainly selling in the province of Quebec and Ontario, the album had only a limited release and quickly disappeared as did the band itself. The self titled album featured seven original songs that have been described as brash, loud, hard rock with straight from the heart vocal work. Great fuzzed-out guitars, echoey vocals, hard-driving drums, and fine bass guitar make this a must for early 70's pscyh rock!!

 Sly and the Family Stone were an American rock, funk, and soul band from San Francisco, California. Active from 1966 to 1983, the band was pivotal in the development of soul, funk, and psychedelic music. Headed by singer, songwriter, record producer, and multi-instrumentalist Sly Stone, and containing several of his family members and friends, the band was the first major American rock band to have an "integrated, multi-gender" lineup. Fillmore East (New York, NY) Oct 5, 1968 two shows. These performances were recorded weeks after the release of Sly and the Family Stone's second album, Life, but just before the "Everyday People" single would vault the band to international recognition and incredible commercial success. The influence Sly and the Family Stone would soon have on the American music scene cannot be underestimated. It's safe to say they were a major force in the development of 1960s era funk and soul, but they would have equal influence on the likes of other musicians, including jazz great Miles Davis and rock guitar giant, Jimi Hendrix. The multicultural personnel of the band, as well as the inclusion of both men and women in the group, were virtually unheard of in the 1960s. The fact that these multicultural elements would blend so perfectly had far-reaching effects on both audiences and the music industry itself.(WV) Disc 101 - Life02 - Color Me True03 - It Won't Be Long04 - Are You Ready05 - Dance To The Music06 - M'ladyDisc 201 - M'lady02 - Color Me True03 - Are You Ready04 - It Won't Be Long05 - Color Me True06 - Dance To The Music07 - Love City08 - Turn Me Loose09 - OutroLINK |
 If I Could Do It All Over Again, I'd Do It All Over You is a 1970 release by Canterbury scene rock band Caravan. According to Allmusic, "If I Could Do It All Over Again contains significant progressions over the first album." It was the second album by the band, the predecessor to their best-known album In the Land of Grey and Pink. The album is known as the epitome of Canterbury rock, featuring representative organ solos and melodic vocals typical of the band's style. The album was released on Decca Records, as was the title track as a single release. This record began to define what became the best-known Caravan sound that was heard on most releases through 1975. "For Richard" (the 14:21 medley) became a staple of Caravan shows and was typically heard as the closer. A fully orchestrated, live version can be heard on the 1974 release Caravan and the New Symphonia.The album title and title of the title track is a quote attributed to Spike Milligan.01 - If I Could Do It All Over Again I'd Do It All Over You02 - And I Wish I Were Stoned - Don't Worry03 - As I Feel I Die04 - With An Ear To The Ground You Can Make It - Martinian - Only Cox (Reprise)05 - Hello Hello06 - Asforteri07 - Can't Be Long Now - Francoise - For Richard - Warlock08 - Limits09 - A Day In The Life Of Maurice Haylett10 - Why (And I Wish I Were Stoned) (demo version)11 - Clipping The 8th (Hello Hello) (demo version)12 - As I Feel I Die (demo version)13 - If I Could Do It All Over Again I'd Do It All Over You (remix)LINK |

 Strictly Personal is the second album by Captain Beefheart & his Magic Band. It was originally released in October 1968, almost a year after the band had initially taken to the studio to record the follow-up to 1967's Safe as Milk. The finished album has been the subject of controversy owing to producer Bob Krasnow's addition of phasing to many of the tracks, which Beefheart subsequently claimed was done without his knowledge or approval. The original intention was to record an album for Buddah Records entitled It Comes to You in a Plain Brown Wrapper. (Strictly Personal's sleeve design is a relic of this initial concept.) A considerable amount of material was recorded for the project during the period of October – November 1967 with Bob Krasnow producing. Owing to reservations on the part of Buddah, however, the album was not released. Instead, Strictly Personal was issued on Krasnow's own Blue Thumb label the following year. It features re-recorded versions of songs from the 1967 sessions, with psychedelic effects added by Krasnow. Beefheart has always hated the effects, claiming they had been added without his knowledge; the album's fate probably had a strong effect on his insistence on a dry, unaffected sound on later recordings.01 - Ah Feel Like Ahcid02 - Safe As Milk03 - Trust Us04 - Son Of Mirror Man - Mere Man05 - On Tomorrow06 - Beatle Bones 'n' Smokin' Stones07 - Gimme Dat Harp Boy08 - Kandy KornLINK |

 Lisztomania is a 1975 film by Ken Russell, drawn from a biography of Franz Liszt. Depicting the flamboyant Liszt as the first classical pop star, Lisztomania features contemporary rock star Roger Daltrey (of The Who) as Franz Liszt.

 Chicago V is the fourth studio album (fifth overall) by American rock band Chicago and was released in 1972. It is notable for being the group's first single full-length release, after having released three consecutive double albums and a box set of live material. Following the release of Chicago III in 1971, which almost left Chicago creatively spent, the band decided to curb their penchant for double albums and work on more concise numbers (in contrast to the suites that had typified their previous work) in order to fit all of their new material onto a single album. Chicago V is also notable for Robert Lamm's prolific songwriting; eight out of its ten tunes are composed solely by him. Recorded just before Chicago at Carnegie Hall was released in the fall of 1971, Chicago V was cut in just over a week and held over for release until the following summer. Preceded by "Saturday In The Park", which reached #3 - the band's biggest hit thus far, the critically-acclaimed Chicago V became the biggest hit album of 1972, not only becoming Chicago's first #1 album but spending nine weeks in the pole position in the US. In the UK, the release managed to reach #24. Follow-up single, "Dialogue (Part I & II)" (#24) also became a Top 30 hit.01 - A Hit By Varese02 - All Is Well03 - Now That You've Gone04 - Dialogue (Part I)05 - Dialogue (Part II)06 - While The City Sleeps07 - Saturday In The Park08 - State Of The Union09 - Goodbye10 - Alma MaterLINK |
