Catalog #:
GF 110CD
Re-pressed. The song titles and length of time are the same, but the digital remastering has been done off new source data and is far superior to the earlier version. "The Humbolt, Iowa's classic 1972 Self-Titled LP along with Steve Fox and Randy Berka's earliest effort on the Sonic label 'It Was Me' b/w 'I Wonder Why', when they were known only as 'Shadrack'. This music is a cross between Traffic and Donovan."

1998 release. "The Grateful Dead-sounding band that was sued by Windfall Music and Columbia Records for using the name Mountain, although they actually had been together for 4 years before Mountain was officially formed! Their classic
Sundance
LP from 1971 plus unreleased live and studio material off the master tapes from this Chicago band -- a total of 13 songs and 70 minutes of music. Don't bother with the French bootleg, the original pressing was poorly done and nothing the piraters did have helped the quality!"

GF 122CD
Year 2000 reissue of this heralded private press folk album, recorded in Philadelphia in 1970. Branded as the first "acid folk" album, this is one of the most rewarding discovers of semi-recent private press mania. "The 1960s generated a lot of great folk musicians: Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Tim Hardin, Tim Buckley, Eric Anderson, and Phil Ochs to name a few. And this music reflected the social and political commentary of their day. They also greatly influenced these developing musicians just a few years behind them in age -- Perry Leopold was one such example. He grew up in Philadephia listening to the songs of those days and began to write his own music at age 15. The music is splendid, fresh, and full of hte political and social arrogance many of us were feeling during those turbulent times. It is truly an historical bookmark in folk music."

2010 restock. An underestimated 1967 artifact of personalized, stumbling, hippie aesthetic. Some pretty good-to-great raga-esque folk (dulcimer, flamenco guitar, classical guitar) and in general much more musical quality (especially on disc 1), than you might have been led to believe. A desirable development to have this commonly available for the first time ever."Acknowledged as one of the Bay Area's most significant collectibles from the heyday of California's political and psychedelic era, this 106 minute long double CD traces this band's transition from the Berkeley Free Speech movement, their performance at the Monterey Pop Festival and the Golden Gate Human Be-Ins, to their Fantasy studio sessions in 1966 and 1967. Originally released as a triple (green, purple, and yellow) LP set, this project is taken off the master tapes, with liner notes from Ernie, Charles, and producer Dustin. From blues to folk to psych to flamingo to political and social commentary, this project has it all. All 22 original songs plus two previously unreleased bonus tracks by Dustin Mark Miller. And for the first time ever, learn the titles to all these songs, which were not printed on the original LP."

2010 restock, originally released in 2000. "The title is not a contradiction in terms. Rather, it is a beautifully done and previously unreleased LP from 1972. Although still very psychedelic, like his first LP
Experiment in Metaphysics
, this material is enhanced with the use of bass, 6 and 12 string guitar, piano, electric guitar, strings, flute, and the very tasteful use of percussion and harmonies. The Clavinet player on this album (formerly with Uriah Heep) commented that this experience had 'fulfilled the promise of psychedelia in a way nothing had before'."

Featuring the beautiful and haunting female vocals of Marcie Rauer, the music is as spacey, jazzey, bluesy, and psychedelic sound very similar to that of Jefferson Airplane, It's A Beautiful Day, and other Bay area bands."

"Recorded In Montreal in early 1968, this R6 rarity comes out to you an all its psyched out glory. The early 60's crooner Tony Roman had by now tuned in and dropped out.... Long jams with fuzzed out guitar, wailing organ, and screaming vocals highlight this mind-blowing release. The influences of Iron Butterfly, Santana, and The Mothers Of Invention are clearly present on the gem." Related to Maledictus Sound, this is a two track 28-minute album of acid-ingestion jamming from the bowels of Montreal. One of the more legitimately outside records in the Gear Fab catalog, at it's best bringing to mind a lower-fi variation on Can's

"The rare and classic 1975 LP from this New York band is a collection of original songs and ballads written by founding members Joe Celano and Tom Viola. This music is heavily influenced by British folk-rock and progressive styles, combining acoustic 6 and 12 string guitar with the dramatic effects of synthesized guitar, sustained distortion, and background keyboard support. The songs are stories, and their lyrics are the main focus of the album."

"From Pueblo, Colorado, this Psychedelic Rock band formed in 1969 and continued to play all over the Northwest until their break-up in 1974. The band recorded a concept album for Warthog Studios in Denver between 1971-72 that had been stored away for some 30 years until their discovery by music afficionado Mike Stelk several months ago. Great fuzz guitar, dreamy Moody Blues type of harmonies, and great use of woodwind instrument make this a real lost classic."

Featuring Don Johnson on lead vocals, this rare gem features the songwriting talents of Carter-Gilbert who wrote such great songs as 'Incense & Peppermints' for the Strawberry Alarm Clock and 'That Acapulco Gold' for the Rainy Daze. Mixing a blend of CSN&Y, Jethro Tull, J. Giels, and Poco, their vocal harmonies and excellent use of the organ and harmonica makes for a splendid release."
