VA - The Psychedelic Years 1966-1969 [1990] +The Psychedelic Years Revisited 1966-1969 [1992] (6 x CD's)


THE PSYCHEDELIC YEARS 1966-1969


VA - The Psychedelic Years 1966-1969 [1990] +The Psychedelic Years Revisited 1966-1969 [1992] (6 x CD's)

These two companion sets are probably the best out there. Great artists, fine songs, many still spine-tingling today. There is not a dud track on each of these great sets.

The Psychedelic Years 1966-1969 is a three-CD set compilation album released in 1990 by Knight Records. It explores the amazing music of 1966-1969 and features tracks from various artists such as Love, It’s A Beautiful Day, The Beach Boys, Spirit, Tim Buckley, Jefferson Airplane, Buffalo Springfield, HP Lovecraft, Moby Grape, The Velvet Underground & Nico and Quicksilver Messenger Service.


Psychedelic Years Revisited, is a companion to our previous release, The Psychedelic Years 1966-1969. It also is a three-CD exploration of the amazing music of 1966-1969. It was a time when creativity and experimentation flourished in pop music. Selected are 50 tracks that showcase the diversity and brilliance of this era. Whether you are a fan of the Byrds, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, or Captain Beefheart, you will find something to enjoy in this collection. You will also discover some hidden gems from lesser-known artists like the Freudian Complex, Kak, and Pearls Before Swine.  This set is a companion to our previous release, The first two discs of this set contain mostly singles, while the third disc features album tracks from key artists. I hope you will enjoy this trip back to the psychedelic years!

  4. Thanks for these, Butter (and I agree with Konrad especially) - formative recordings from a formative period in my early life. Ahh...

    1. Hi Aging Child.
      These boxes get a lot of rotation listening from me. They are both wonderful to listen to.
      There is some real breathtaking music nestled in amongst these tracks. (Prepositions can sometimes be a pain. I prefer Amongst vs. Among even though Spell Check say Its not right)

      Happy listening

      Cheers

  5. "Amongst", "amidst", "firstly", etc. (vs. "among", "amid", "first"), are more British-/Commonwealth-usage, verus U.S.-. Just reset your spellcheck for "10 Downing Street", and your computer will make nary a quibble, methinks.

    Anyway, music from our childhood serves as an inner time-machine, even bringing back into heart sight people and places long since passed behind us. So thank you again for a welcome return to the hippie university students I was hanging out with, and being taught by, way back when. I'm with you on the happy rotations!

    1. Firstly, You are a gentleman amongst gentlemen. Secondly, amidst the plethora of wrong words I use I probably should take your advise and redirect my PC's dictionary to a UK version which is currently set on White House. Now I need to work on my use of commas et cetera (etc., etc, &c., or &c,) Oh which to choose....

      Enjoy the music.

      Cheers

    2. I don't know how to say "LOL" in Britspeak, unless it's "haw-haw". So... guffaw, guffaw, ol' bean! ;-)

  6. Your site is just amazing! THANK-YOU, for all your time, effort & energy. The Psychedelic & 60's stuff is great!
    Along with all the Paul Kelly stuff. Do you have any Mutton Birds or Tim Finn (solo).
    Thanks
