EARLY DAWN ********** Distr. : NE - Shiny Beast Style : psych. / folk / prog. / ED 1801 MYSTIC ASTROLOGIC CRYSTAL BAND : s/t CD 11.2017 Late '60s US baroque and sunshine tinged pop-psych at its best! This legendary 1967 album by the LA-based project (featuring Steve Hoffman) gets reissued on CD! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ED 1802 ART OF LOVIN' ART OF LOVIN' CD 11.2017 The sole album by US psychedelic folk-rockers Art Of Lovin', originally released by Mainstream in 1968, sees a reissue on CD. This is an imaginative album for fans of a.o. Jefferson Airplane, Fort Mudge Memorial Dump, Yankee Dollar, Shocking Blue, Peanut Butter Conspiracy and the like. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ED 1803 SALLY EATON FAREWELL AMERICAN TOUR CD 11.2017 A CD-reissue of the 1971 album by US singer-songwriter Sally Eaton. Blending elements of rock, folk, pop and swing, this well arranged set is recommended to fans of a.o. Melanie. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ED 1804 HARUMI HARUMI CD 11.2017 An odd psychedelic album, recorded by an enigmatic NYC-based Japanese artist for Verve (in 1968), gets reissued on CD. This delivery of 'Japan meets Greenwich Village' psych was produced by the legendary Tom Wilson (Velvet Underground, Zappa, Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel). All the songs are sung in English. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ED 1805 SAM THE SHAM & THE PHARAOHS : WOOLY BULLY CD 02.2018 [ORIGINAL 1965 DEBUT ALBUM!] The band's legendary 1965 debut-album, reissued on CD with three bonus tracks. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ED 1806 THE LITTLE BOY BLUES : IN THE WOODLAND OF WEIR CD 04.2018 01. Cathedral 02. Is Love 03. I'm Hip To You 04. Mr. Tripp Wouldn't Listen 05. The Death Of Don Quixote 06. Jazz Is Love 07. It's Only You/Echoes Of "You" 08. Dream Weaver/Seed Of Love 09. The Fox 10. The Great Train Robbery 11. I'm Ready 12. I Can Only Give You Everything 13. You Don't Love Me 14. Season Of The Witch 15. Little Boy Blues' Theme 16. Look At The Sun 17. Love For A Day 18.

I Can't Stand It 02. 991/2 03. The Road To Hell 04. I Wanna Testify 05. Mickey's Monkey 06. 16 Tons 07. My Shrink 08. Track Of My Tears 09. Subterranean Homesick Blues Early Dawn present a reissue of Pacific Ocean's self-titled album, originally released in 1968. It's a wonder they weren't touring the whole world and playing on huge stages in front of thousands of fans. This 1968 album smashes in like a hot stone with that soulful drive otherwise only Steve Marriott and Humble Pie could provide. A definite recommendation for fans of good old hard classic rock. https://email.seznam.cz/wholeBody/150390-5727527 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ED 1808 THE BOHEMIAN VENDETTA THE BOHEMIAN VENDETTA CD 11.2018 01. RIDDLES & FAIRYTALES 02. (SHE ALWAYS GIVES ME) PLEASURE 03. ALL KINDS OF HIGHS 04. (I CAN'T GET NO) SATISFACTION 05. PARADOX CITY 06. ENOUGH 07. LOVE CAN MAKE YOUR MIND GO WILD 08. THE HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN 09. IMAGES (SHADOW IN THE NIGHT) 10. DEAF, DUMB & BLIND 11. I WANNA TOUCH YOUR HEART 12. YOU'VE GOTTA BE FREE Reissue of legendary and classic, one and only, 1968 album by US psychedelic rock band! The Bohemian Vendetta are also known for playing as backing group for Faine Jade on their '68 album 'Introspection'. This is one of the best acid-punk LPs ever! Excellent Vox organ/fuzz teen garage psych and the covers are pretty fantastic as well. The cough syrup high school play vibe of 'Deaf, Dumb & Blind' must be heard to be believed. Easily one of the best on the label with lots of classy psych-punk originals and a truly unique vibe all through it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ED 1809 SAROFEEN AND SMOKE SAROFEEN AND SMOKE CD 11.2018 01. SUSAN JANE 02. CREAM OF NOWHERE 03. IT'S LOVE 04. LADY TRAGEDY 05. SWAMP MAN 06. YOU MAKE IT SO HARD 07. WITCH 08. TOMORROW 09. ROCKY MOUNTAIN BLUES Hailing from New York, this band was led by singer Anne Sarofeen, who's described in the album's own liner notes as 'a lady both fierce and gentle, whose music knows truth, tragedy and beauty'. We don't really know if she's fierce or gentle, but her incredible voice has often been compared to that of Janis Joplin, Ellen McIlwaine and Mariska Veres (of Dutch stars Shocking Blue); unfortunately rock history is cruel and she never received the credit she deserves for being right at the top with other unique female singers. She has also composed half of the songs on this 1971 album. The album offers 9 songs in a bluesy, heavy psychedelic vein, which to a certain extent remind us much of Jefferson Airplane. Most of the songs are the band's own compositions, with the only exceptions being a take on Martha Velez' 'Swamp Man' and a cover of 'Rocky Mountain Blues', well chosen covers that fit perfectly the band's identity. Certainly recommended to fans of Janis Joplin, Affinity's Linda Hoyle, Jefferson Airplane or basically any strong, dominating female voice in psychedelic rock! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ED 1810 GEORGES GARVARENTZ UN BEAU MONSTRE CD 11.2018 01. MY WAY OF LOVING YOU 02. HASCHISCH PARTY 03. LE MARIAGE DE NATHALIE 04. LE CAUCHEMAR D'UNE DROGUE 05. UN BONHEUR MALHEUREUX 06. STAY 07. PREMIÈRE RENCONTRE 08. RETOUR SANS LENDEMAIN 09. UN NOUVEL AMOUR 10. SOIRE AU PALAIS PALMIERI 11. FIN DU COUPLE Greek born composer and conductor George Garaventz really complies with any expectations on his 1970 album for the French movie 'Un Beau Monstre'. This is a rather atmospheric and moody effort and except for the opening tunes of both sides this is entirely instrumental despite a few wordless female choirs adding an even deeper atmosphere to the compositions. The luscious arrangements and insistent melodies truly drag one into a colourful world of their own. Pop, psychedelic with elements of Indian raga, chanson and orchestral music melt into another. Sound and performance are of the highest order. Dreamy, dramatic and acid drenched sections follow each other in a rather short distance. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ED 1811 THE GROWING CONCERN THE GROWING CONCERN CD 11.2018 01. HARD HARD YEAR 02. EDGE OF TIME 03. TOMORROW HAS BEEN CANCELLED 04. A BOY I ONCE KNEW WELL 05. ALL I REALLY WANT 06. MISTER YOU'RE A BETTER MAN THAN I 07. WHAT KIND OF LIFE 08. OTHER SIDE OF LIFE 09. I KNOW A GIRL 10. SIT DOWN I THINK I LOVE YOU Reissue of The Growing Concern's self-titled sole album, originally released on Mainstream in 1969. This psychedelic folkrockin' hippie-band had an emphasis on beautiful vocal harmonies and fantastic guitar and organ work. An album of consistently high musical quality. Recommended for fans of Jefferson Airplane and The Peanut Butter Conspiracy! ======================================================================================= www.shinybeast.nl
