(Note : The Underdogs have been described as New Zealand's most notorious '60s band.
        Purveyors of raucous R&B, their wild live sets and hedonistic lifestyle were

        throughout)

(Note : having formed in Cleveland in mid-1966, The Tiffany Shade swiftly became one of
        the city's hippest acts, sharing stages with Janis Joplin, the MC5 and others.
        A fine blend of folk-rock, garage and psychedelia, their sole album was swiftly
        recorded in the fall of 1967 and appeared that December. The band split soon
        after its release, but it has gone on to earn a significant cult reputation,
        and makes its long-awaited return to CD here, together with background notes)

(Note : originally from Oklahoma, where they started life as No Large Trucks, gritty
        hard rockers Truk featured Willie Daffern (formerly of psych legends Hunger),
        and cut their sole LP in California. Co-produced by Buffalo Springfield's Dewey

        background notes)

(Note : originally released in the summer of 1970, this unconventional psychedelic pop
        LP features several songs by the band's singer/guitarist Paul Giovanni, who
        went on to create the unforgettable music for 1973 cult classic film The Wicker
        Man. Combining vocal harmonies with distorted guitars, Moog synthesizer, sax,
        melodica and more to impressive effect)

(Note : Connecticut quintet's sole album is remarkably diverse, spanning dreamy sitar
        psych, garage rock, jazzy pop, Afro-pop, electronica and more. It did little
        upon original release in March 1969, but has gone on to have a considerable
        cult reputation, even being sampled by DJ Shadow)

        was determined to make it as a musician. His debut album originally appeared in
        April 1969 on Mercury Records, and features several fine songs in the country
        idiom, as well as some introspective ballads and one or two forays into
        underground rock. It's a fine collection that has developed a considerable cult
        following, and makes its overdue CD debut here, together with background notes.
