VA - All Good Clean Fun The Underground Of Liberty & United Artists Records (1967-1975) [2004] (3 x CD's)



LIBERTY & UNITED ARTISTS RECORDS

VA - All Good Clean Fun The Underground Of Liberty & United Artists Records (1967-1975) [2004]

Subtitled - A Journey Through The Underground Of Liberty/United Artists Records 1967-1975. Import exclusive three CD set featuring Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, Idle Race, Can, Groundhogs, High Tide, Hawkwind, & Brinsley Schwarz.. (EMI. 2004)

You don't think of Liberty Records, if at all, as a prog label like Vertigo or Deram or even Island. But if you look at the substantial line up on this box set, you will be a quick convert. Most mainstream labels signed "underground" acts in the 1960s, whether they created a sub-label for them or not. (Remember ABC's Probe?) Some of these acts with posers, some top English acts that got weird distribution deals in the States: Vertigo's acts were on so many US labels, you are listening to Vertigo bands like Black Sabbath without even knowing they were swirl proper. This set sure makes a case for Liberty's progressive roster. Hawkwind, Idle Race (ELO before the Move), High Tide: a lot you know and some amazing surprises.  And the box set CDs really work well as albums: they have starts, middles and endings, staring off at times with chamber pop, climaxing in acid rock frenzy, and boiling down with some space rock. It really is 2am 1970 FM radio, and what could be better. ... (Amazon)

    Hello Butterboy
    Love this album. I bought it when it came out, and I still have it. The samplers that the Labels issued then
    sold a lot of records for these companies, They did to me anyway. I will enjoy hearing them all again.
    Thank You!!!

      Hi Plaicemat/Jim.
      I must admit I hadn't play this one for a long time. When I revisited it the other day i thought this would be a good one to share here.

      Cheers
