Catalog #:	CRNOW 003CD

"Colours launched onto the scene in 1968 with a stunningly glorious psychedelic masterpiece of L.A studio wizardry. A super group before the name was coined, Colours was the brainchild of Gary Montgomery & Jack Dalton, two hard-working, former Motown songwriters who also penned songs for The Turtles, Nino & April and The Moon. This magical mystery tour-de-force of psychedelic Beatlesque pop also features the talents of Derek & The Dominos bassist Carl Radle. This first-ever CD issue of their long-out-of-print albums (Colours and Atmosphere) is supplemented by long-lost 67 Dalton & Montgomery recordings cut just months before they formed Colours. 1969's Atmosphere features former Beach Boy David Marks around the same time he was a member of The Moon another band with many connections to Colours. The 16-page color booklet also includes rare, unpublished photos and comprehensive liner notes that feature the participation of original band members."

Bootleg reissue. "The liner-notes from this, tha band's first album tell us that they 'have the crystalline sharpness of the Beatles before they turned acid', and what's more, it's quite true; an excellent pop-psych album, first released on DOT in 1968; the first track, 'Bad Day At Black Rock, Baby', must be reckoned among the very best attempts at an orchestrated psych sound, with the band easily switching from key to key and featuring many disturbing time-changes; it's charms are many and varied, with songs like the sitar drone 'Rather Be Me', and the commune-song 'Brother Lou's Love Colony', later covered by Moon, and the eerie 'Cataleptic'. An underestimated LP, until now, but not anymore."
