This
is quite a special release that comes as a 12” record plus a 7” in two colour
vinyl versions limited to 800 copies. There are 16 different artists and the
whole thing last about an hour. The songs back then were all pretty short. I am
not that familiar with the Hollies, but they were a UK band from Manchester who
played their own version of pop music akin to the Beatles with multi-harmony
vocals. Most of the tracks here are taken from the Hollies brief psychedelic
period from 1966-1967. Graham Nash was one of their key members. A few of the
labels standard artists are represented like the Bevis Frond (the best song on
the record, amazing version of Hard hard Year), Beautify Junkyards, The
Re-stoned, The Higher State, Langor, Electric Stars, Auralcandy, The Gathering
Gray, The Seventh Ring of Saturn, Hi Fiction Science, Sky Picnic, Us and Them
and Jay Tausig but also a lot of bands I have never heard of. Anyway, since I
have never heard the originals, it is really hard for me to comment but I think
this is a great release and true to the spirit of the original psychedelic music
birth of the 60s.. Great job..
I really like Greg Graffin. The wedding ring got a terrific affect in the young many years. We were holding the 1st punk costume I seriously appreciated in addition to listened to. I had neglected with this guide, although We'll give it a look, many thanks!Evolution writers review
