VA - The Astromusical House of Sagittarius [1969]

EASY LISTENING

VA - The Astromusical House of Sagittarius [1969]

It was released by GWP Records as part of a 12-volume zodiac-themed series, each LP representing a different astrological sign. The music blends pop, easy listening, and light psych, with tracks like “Day Tripper,” “Strawberry Fields Forever,” and “Oh Happy Day” reinterpreted in lush, studio-crafted arrangements.

The artist for The Astromusical House Of Sagittarius (1969) is officially listed as Unknown Artist. 

The album includes a 12"x12" illustrated booklet by astrologer Carroll Righter, and the cover photography was done by Francesco Scavullo, adding a layer of high-concept visual flair. Though the performers remain anonymous, the production credits name Paul Robinson as producer, with art direction by Bob Cato both notable figures in late ’60s studio culture.

It’s a fascinating slice of astrological kitsch, and one of the more collectible entries in the GWP “Astromusical” series. (B)

Aquarian Age - Hair [1969]

TRIPPY

Aquarian Age - Hair [1969]

Hair by The Aquarian Age is one of those rare psych-era curiosities that slipped through the cracks of mainstream recognition but remains a fascinating artifact for collectors. Released in 1969 (not 1968 as often misquoted) on ITCO Records. This LP is a full reinterpretation of the Hair musical, filtered through a distinctly psychedelic and pop-rock lens. It’s not the original Broadway cast, nor a straight cover album, but a studio reimagining with swirling arrangements, dialogue snippets, and a heavy dose of late-’60s counterculture flair.

The label itself, ITCO, was a short-lived imprint distributed by Hourglass Records, and the album was recorded at Andrus Studio, with lacquer cuts done at Bell Sound Studios. Pressing was handled by Sonic Recording Products, and the production credits include Mickey Shapiro and Walt Andrus, with album coordination by Jimmy Tyrrell and Norm Stollman. The artwork, designed by Forlenza Venosa Associates, features visuals by Bob Venosa, whose surrealist style adds to the album’s trippy aura.

What makes this LP especially collectible is its rarity, original pressings are hard to come by, and sealed copies are even scarcer. It includes all the major tracks from Hair: “Aquarius,” “Donna,” “Let the Sunshine In,” “I Got Life,” and “Good Morning Starshine,” but also deeper cuts like “Electric Blues” and “Black Boys and White Boys,” arranged with a looser, more experimental vibe than the Broadway versions.

For fans of psych-pop, outsider interpretations, or obscure studio projects, Hair by The Aquarian Age is a gem. It’s not just a cover album, it’s a cultural time capsule, refracting the optimism and chaos of 1969 through fuzz guitars, theatrical vocals, and kaleidoscopic production. (B)

The Children Of Quechua - El Condor Pasa [1971]

EASY LISTENING

The Children Of Quechua - El Condor Pasa [1971]

Released in 1971 on the German budget label Europ, El Condor Pasa by The Children of Quechua is a curious and collectible LP that blends global folk standards with soft psych and easy listening textures. The group itself appears to be a studio ensemble assembled by Miller International Schallplatten GmbH, based in Quickborn near Hamburg, with musical arrangements credited to Hesslein. No individual performers are named, adding to the album’s mystique.

The title track, “El Condor Pasa,” originally composed by Daniel Alomía Robles, is rendered here with flute-heavy instrumentation and a reverent tone, setting the mood for a set that’s more about atmosphere than authenticity. The rest of the LP is a patchwork of international folk songs and pop covers, including “Guantanamera,” “Sky Boat Song,” “Greensleeves,” and even “In the Summertime” by Mungo Jerry. There’s also a standout original, “A Bird’s Afternoon,” credited to Brac, which adds a slightly more experimental edge to the otherwise mellow proceedings.

Pressed in Germany, with a variant issued in Italy was distributed under the GEMA rights society. Despite its budget origins, the album has gained traction among collectors for its eclectic track list and outsider charm. It’s especially sought after by fans of library music, global folk compilations, and soft psych rarities.

While not groundbreaking musically, El Condor Pasa by The Children of Quechua offers a snapshot of early ’70s European studio culture trying to tap into global folk trends. Its anonymity, cross-cultural ambition, and gentle production make it a quiet gem for archivists and crate diggers alike. (B)

The 1970s were the golden age of endless soundscapes: songs that didn’t end after three minutes, but unfolded over ten, twelve, or even fifteen. This was the era of sprawling guitar solos, hypnotic grooves, and epic song structures that defied every radio convention.

With the third chapter of this unique series, the magic of that decade returns—charged with energy, passion, and a fearless sense of musical adventure. An album for those who won’t settle for the obvious but want to lose themselves in timeless sonic journeys.     Long. Loud. Legendary.

BEAT GIRLS

VA - British Beat Girls, Live on Air 1965-1970 [2023] (4 x CDs)

There’s something undeniably magnetic about the British female pop and soul singers of the 1960s, a blend of elegance and vocal power that defined an era and left a lasting imprint on music history. British Beat Girls, Live on Air 1965-1970, released in 2023 by Time Box, is a four-CD box set that captures that magic in its rawest, most immediate form: live BBC radio performances.

This isn’t just another retrospective. It’s a living archive, over 100 tracks, professionally remastered, featuring artists like Sandie Shaw, Cilla Black, Elkie Brooks, Helen Shapiro, Susan Maughan, Julie Rogers, Valerie Masters, and many more. These aren’t studio-polished versions; they’re spirited, spontaneous renditions recorded for BBC’s Top of the Pops radio broadcasts, often introduced by host Brian Matthews and interspersed with short interviews that offer charming glimpses into the personalities behind the voices.

What makes this set so compelling is its intimacy. You hear the breath between phrases, the slight imperfections, the energy of live performance, all of which bring these songs to life in a way that studio recordings sometimes smooth over. There’s a sense of immediacy and authenticity that reminds us just how talented these women were, often performing under tight schedules and minimal rehearsal.

The selection spans pop, beat, soul, and even a touch of psychedelia, reflecting the evolving musical landscape of mid-to-late ’60s Britain. Tracks like Sandie Shaw’s “Girl Don’t Come,” Elkie Brooks’ “I Put a Spell on You,” and Cilla Black’s “Alfie” showcase not just vocal prowess but emotional depth. These women were interpreting, commanding, and connecting.

The packaging is thoughtful: a clamshell box with a 16-page full-color booklet featuring background notes and rare archival photos. It’s clear that care was taken to honor the legacy of these performers, many of whom were overshadowed by their male counterparts in the British Invasion narrative.

For collectors, this set is a revelation. For newer listeners, it’s a gateway into a vibrant, often underappreciated corner of pop history. And for those of us who cherish the BBC’s role in preserving live music, it’s a reminder of how vital those airwaves were in shaping public taste and launching careers.

British Beat Girls, Live on Air 1965-1970 isn’t just a compilation, it’s a celebration of Britain’s beat-era heroines. These performances may be decades old, but they still sparkle with life, wit, and soul. (B)

VA - That's Soul Vol. 1-6 [1995] (6 x CDs)

SOUL

VA - That's Soul Vol. 1-6 [1995] (6 x CDs)

Released in 1995 by WEA Germany, That’s Soul 1-6 is a six-CD treasure trove that dives headfirst into the rich, emotive world of Atlantic soul. It’s not flashy, not overhyped, just a beautifully curated set that honors the artists, the grooves, and the grit that defined soul music’s golden age. The That’s Soul series was originally released as individual volumes before being compiled into the six-CD box set in 1995.  Each disc in the set corresponds to a previously issued compilation, often with identical track lists and artwork. These standalone volumes circulated in Europe throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s, primarily on vinyl and CD. The 1995 box set simply brought them together in one cohesive package.

Each volume is packed with classics, deep cuts, and a few surprises, all drawn from the Atlantic, Atco, and Stax catalogs. You’ll find the heavyweights here: Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Percy Sledge, Sam & Dave, Solomon Burke, and Carla Thomas, among others. But what makes this set special is its sequencing, it doesn’t just stack hits. It flows like a well-worn mixtape, moving from dancefloor burners to heartache ballads with ease.

Volume 1 opens with Wilson Pickett’s “Mustang Sally” and rolls through Arthur Conley’s “Sweet Soul Music,” Aretha’s “I Never Loved a Man,” and Eddie Floyd’s “Knock on Wood.” By Volume 3, you’re deep into the groove with King Curtis’s “Memphis Soul Stew,” The Bar-Kays’ “Soul Finger,” and Otis’s “Dock of the Bay.” Volume 5 throws in curveballs like Rex Garvin’s “Sock It To ’Em J.B.” and Arthur Conley’s cover of “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da,” showing how soul artists reinterpreted pop with grit and flair.

The mastering is clean and respectful, no brickwall compression, no gimmicks. These tracks retain their analog warmth, their tape hiss, their emotional punch. The packaging is modest but functional, and while liner notes are sparse, the music speaks volumes.

For collectors, this set is a goldmine. For newcomers, it’s a masterclass in soul’s emotional range and rhythmic power. And for anyone who believes music should move both body and spirit, "That’s Soul" 1-6 is essential listening. (B)
