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.

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.

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.

01. HARD HARD YEAR
02. EDGE OF TIME
03. TOMORROW HAS BEEN CANCELLED

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!
