VA - Voyages Into... The Bottomless Pit Volumes 1+2+3 [2005-2007] (3 X CD's)

This follows on from previously posted VA - Voyages Into... series set

A CD series devoted to unearthing rare and intriguing 45's from the mid 1960's through the early 1970's. Culled directly from the Voyages vinyl archives, this collection provides focused offerings in five classic musical sub-genres:Voyages Records is a subsidiary label to the U-Spaces collective Group, They compiled 13 Cd compilations of previously non comped material  and were issued in the Voysges series between 2005 and 2010.

Lovingly compiled by musicologist and all-around 60's music guru Ben Chaput, these ten compilations feature some of the best obscure sides late 60's music has to offer. For the past ten years or so, rare psychedelic rock, garage and freakbeat have occupied the hearts and minds of music collectors everywhere as well as helping to empty their wallets. Scores of labels have popped up in the last decade dedicated to nothing but digging up and re-issuing rare private press releases as well as long-forgotten records put out on major labels. Think about how popular and noteworthy the Nuggets boxsets are and the Pebbles compilations and some of the other boxsets seeking to give listeners the best music of the 60's. Then, think about this great series of sets featuring some of the best music of the 60's all geared towards the collector and music freak, with rare songs never used on any other compilation. Truly, with this set of well-put-together comps, fans of this kind of music have hit the motherlode.

Fans of 60's music are just going to go crazy over this set. Not only are most of the songs included on these volumes incredibly obscure yet still fantastic, but most of these songs have never been comped before, so they are totally fresh and not the same songs appearing on the Pebbles and Nuggets 60's sets. 

This set includes the following 3 titles...

VA - Voyages Into... The Bottomless Pit Vol. 1 [2007]

VA - Voyages Into... The Bottomless Pit Vol. 2 [2007]

VA - Voyages Into... The Bottomless Pit Vol. 3 [2008]

The final 3 x CDs fill out the 13 CD 's set.
