Well, unless I'm missing something I have four more discs,each with a different state on it, so to

make it ez on myself, we'll do two today and two tomorrow (or something).....grabbing at random I get Texas and Illinois, tomorrow a couple MORE members of the Big Ten, Wisconsin and Indiana....
.
What surprises me is that Texas, which had perhaps THE most legendary psych scene of ALL the states, merits only one disc in the series....I'm sure "rights" to different music, lables, et al has soemthing to do with it, but still fairly surprising......the Texas disc contains Neal Ford & the Fanatics, whom have turned up on some of these other Nuggets sets, also well-known acts Roy Head and Bubble Puppy, but, mostly, the stuff here is generally as obscure as most of the other states: Glass Kans? Electric Prism? Persian Market? Any Texans have any interesting stories to share about any of them?

The Illinois set doesn't have any really famous names that jump out at me at first glance, I assume Chicago-area acts dominate the set as I have heard that Chicago had a fine psychedelic scene during the 60's, interesting band names at the very least (Dalek: The Blackstones, Raindear Army, Poother, Unltd.)......again, lots of obscure stuff that I bet a lot of Windy-City-ites could share a fact or two about......anyway, working on the links, Zippy is what Zippy is......but we'll be wrapping this series up at least FAIRLY soon, and I think I want to pursure this scene a BIT further (if you're getting tired of it SAY SO please), but I'm having fun dragging out these comps I haven't listened to in a few years.
