Sunbeam Masters is a new series of deluxe CDs celebrating some of the most enduring underground albums of the 1960s and 1970s. Manufactured to the highest standards, each is presented in a mini-LP gatefold sleeve, complete with a full-color booklet (including rare pictures and detailed background information) and archive bonus material. Each release is strictly limited to 1,000 individually-numbered copies. One of the best-loved British psychedelic albums of all time,
The Open Mind
is a hard-rocking collection that sold in minute numbers upon its original release on Philips in 1969. The four musicians from Putney, South London would later disband in 1973 to explore more jazz-influenced sounds, but their legacy is held with their now highly-anthologized, thundering drug-anthem "Magic Potion," which did not originally appear on this record, but is now included as a bonus track. This self-titled LP has since become a highly sought-after collectible. Produced with the band's full co-operation, this package features both sides of their two ultra-rare non-album 45s, making it the most comprehensive collection of their work ever assembled.

Long prayed-for reissue of this classic 1970 UK folk stunner that's a missing link both in the Wizz Jones oeuvre and in the guitar-freedom music of the prime era.
The Legendary Me
was Wizz Jones' second studio album, originally released by the obscure but vital Village Thing label (following his self-titled debut on United Artists). Cosmically figuring somewhere between the non-trad radical expressions of the
Mike Cooper

journey, Jones' terrestrial position finds him alongside
Davy Graham
,
Shirley Collins
& Palmer at the dawn of '60s UK freedom. Under-recorded until the late '60s,
The Legendary Me
has been impossible to find since release. It fits snuggly next to his other classic,
Right Now
, released a year later on Columbia. If you've ever wished
John Renbourn
was twice as good or thought
Bert Jansch
was too uptight, then this is your cup of meat. Remastered the way you've come to expect from Sunbeam -- at Abbey Road from the original tapes -- this perfect product includes three killer bonus tracks (including a

cover that doesn't suck and the master's take on Jansch's "Needle of Death"), liner notes, and cool vintage photos. --Kris Price

UK-based
Jon Harflett
and
John Perkins
began playing together in 1967, but their sole album, the beautifully melodic and intimate
Looking Back On The Future
, didn't appear until 1975. Though critically praised, it was only issued as a private pressing and was thus condemned to obscurity until its legend began to grow through collectors and bootleggers. This is its first official issue, and comes complete with rare photographs, bonus tracks and detailed liner notes by the duo, making it an essential purchase for all lovers of acid folk.
"Former bootleg and very worthy slice of later UK folk heaven, Dawnwind's lone LP has been done up real righteous by your friends at Sunbeam. A British counterpart to Spain's Book of Am, America's Trees, and Scotland's Caedmon in the splintered, post-Nam, last-gasp class of debuts that graduated the free world's folk revival into oblivion, the perfectly titled
Looking Back on the Future
was released to a fleeting audience in '76. Always the opening act, never the stars, the duo of Jon Harflett and John Perkins crawled up the mountain together for nearly ten years before making an LP of their very own. As the scene died, the duet recorded a sentimental, celebratory, and defiant solemnization of Greenwich Village, acid-nonviolence, Dylan's harmonica, and freedom busking that, like the best long-awaited debuts, displays striking self-discovery and fully honed vision. While the surreal opener 'Don't Look Now, Karen's Gone to the Moon' is an anachronistic spoon-June folk-psych stunner that stands as one of the select sputniks of the era, their haunting Simon & Garfunkel-style take on John Prine's 'Sam Stone' will bring you all back home. It's not clear if the master tapes survived on this one, but you can trust that Sunbeam's work is peerlessly culled from the finest depots, having filled up the product with the usual exemplary Abbey Road mastering, bonus tracks, original artwork, photos, liners, & legitimacy. Have one." -- Kris Price.
