The second five discs of this ten disc set, loaded with obscure psychedelia.....this is a good set, as I

said before we'll see what the reaction is before I continue with some of the MANY other psych comps I have, overlap gets to be a problem when I continue piling them on, but when you tak about a genre where SUPER-obscurites abound, only 1970's-80's punk (see some of the recent punk comps) can compare with late 60's/early 70's psych (and, as is the case with punk, quite often "obscure" does not necessarily equate with "listenable", but "obscure" is always fun for fans of a genre, listenable or otherwise.

As we pop in Disc 6, most of the better known stuff here are acts that popped up in the first 5 discs of the set, (West Coast Natural Gas, Flower Pot, etal), newcomers of interest include The Human Touch's weird cover of the already weird "Sally Go Round the Roses", The Ravens, The Dave Miller Set, among lost of other stuff that I had no knowledge of prior to this set. The Wailers turn up on disc 7, as well as unknowns (well, to me, anyway) such as City Zu, The Fringe, and Grant's Blueboys whom I list here simply as a tribute to my son Grant. Disc 8 plunges off into TOTAL obscure-o land, I don't even (at a glance) think it includes anyone from the earlier discs)....I knew of Crotchfield Doughnut Ring from other comps, but
Ipsissimus? Biddu? Guardians of the Rainbow? Out there, which is what we're looking for.

Disc 9 has another Neal Ford track, this time as Neal Ford Factory (Ford probably appears more on
this set than anyone else), and the set continues the trend of strange, quite obscure stuff such as Frisco Mint, Lightmyth, The Roosters........unknowns except to the most fanatical of obscure psych junkies.....the final disc is more of the same, lots of acts that are new to the set such as Dr T & the Undertakers, Baron Daemon & the Vampires, and Chicago Loop.
Let me know what you think of these and where we want to go from here, because if you wan MORE of this type of thing I can literally bury you with it.
