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.

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      1807    PACIFIC OCEAN           PACIFIC OCEAN                   CD      04.2018

        01.     I Can't Stand It
        02.     991/2
        03.     The Road To Hell
        04.     I Wanna Testify

        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.

ED      1808    THE BOHEMIAN VENDETTA   THE BOHEMIAN VENDETTA           CD      11.2018

        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.

        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!
