"One writer called her 'the sexiest vocalist in popular music.' Another said that listening to her fresh and buoyant voice was like the 'exhilaration of a soft spring shower.'" Whatever the case, file this under "jazz", "female vocal", and "bossa nova".

Exact repro reissue of this Austin, TX band's 1969 debut LP. "Shiva's Headband landed a recording contract with Capitol Records on the strength of their popular live shows, only to decamp to San Francisco and see things go completely awry. Although the band hated San Francisco, their position as an influential member of the psychedelic fraternity dictated that they remain there, and until the release of Take Me ToThe Mountains, their first and only release for Capitol, this is exactly what they did. Perskin's powerful fiddle playing is prominent throughout the album. Critics agree that their first effort, often described as a well-balanced blend of country and psychedelia, augmented by Spencer's fabulous fiddle playing, should have been far more successful than it was. A fine album."

Exact repro reissue, originally released on Capitol in 1972. "Thought to have been a New York bunch, they don't appear to have released any 45s for Capitol, but their album is an undiscovered gem. Kicking off with 'Do What I Want' which featured slick rhythms and fine guitar, a high standard is set and equalled by 'Creepy Feeling' and the Johnny Winter-influenced 'Everybody Knowns (Slippin),' with its gruff vocals and fine guitar interplay. 'Dream Novel' rounds off side one with some simply exquisite guitar work. Perhaps the album's finest moment is 'Happy,' the closing track, which builds into an amazing climax. Recommended." -- Fuzz, Acid & Flowers

Exact repro reissue on 180 gram vinyl. Eerie soft-edged psych rock originally released in 1969. Featuring lead vocals by Steve White, known for throwing a baby's head in a garbage can in his role in Herschell Gordon Lewis' film Just For The Hell Of It. "Mysterious, wondrous masterpiece that most collectors dismiss as the little brother to the other Capitol monsters (Gandalf and Common People) when it's actually the best of the three. Intensely emotional and dramatic; these guys had a vision and multiple listens begin to reveal its depth. String-laden ballads hold hands with fleeting blasts of power chords. Bits and pieces that seem to have no purpose blend together to create a surprisingly coherent whole. It's hard to know if they even intended this to be a 'concept album,' but it's definitely a case of the whole being more then the sum of the pieces, good as the pieces are." -- Acid Archives

"Surely the most balanced album of Fred Neil, this eponymous masterwork is from beginning to end a delightful listen and usually the preferred LP among fans and reviewers. It's the only Fred Neil album in which electric guitars were used. Without knowing very well why, the reverberated electric guitar that opens 'The Dolphins' and the entire LP reminds of the sensation of an infinitely peaceful landscape."

Exact repro LP reissue of the fourth Fred Neil album, originally released 1967 on Capitol. "...Pushed by spearing notes, Neil leans toward the microphone, mouth open to a line from chin to upper lip; the yawning exit of the well of his voice, which rises with the ease of dust motes from a deep, dark shaft, floating into sunlight and dipping back to the underworld blackness. Lyrics melt across compositional boundaries. He sings about black girls, pine trees, merry-go-rounds, death, life, lies and truth, fleshing the images into reality as his voice curves and cracks words into the microphone." --Pete Johnson

2010 repress. Exact repro LP reissue of this debut from 1967; CD is on Sundazed. "With spellbinding, atmospheric songs which spin from soft dreamscapes into blistering fuzz guitar breaks, Gandalf casts a powerful spell. Led by singer/guitarist Peter Sando, the group was signed by Lovin' Spoonful producers Charlie Koppelman and Don Rubin and conjured their sole, self-titled album for Capitol in late 1967. One of the rarest major label psychedelic releases, Gandalf features swirls of Hammond B3 organ, caressing vibraphone runs and electric sitar on Sando's originals as well as imaginative recastings of songs by Tim Hardin, Gary Bonner/Alan Gordon, and Eden Ahbez."

Grey area exact repro, 180 gram virgin vinyl pressing. Originally released in 1969 on Capitol; CD version is currently on Fallout. Well-loved major label psych LP with somewhat of a split personality. The sound varies between a unique brooding downer vibe with Axelrod-like string arrangements, and a more typical West Coast garage-psych trip (plus an unfortunate bit of musical theater).

Grey area exact repro of the first Mad River LP, originally release on Capitol in 1968. 180 gram virgin vinyl pressing. Classic west coast country-infused acid vibes. "Extraordinary band whose greatness has yet to be fully recognized. Unlike many I prefer the debut LP and its enticing mix of unique vocals, complex moods and angular sounds, as pure psychedelia as anything ever made in the Bay Area. The band formed at Antioch College in Ohio and recorded some demo tapes before leaving for the west coast. The debut LP recordings were accidentally sped up during the original mastering phase, which means that most releases including the 1968 original actually play at inaccurate speed." --Acid Archives
