K's Flower Power Special - 

VA - Flower Power: 340 Groovy Greats from the Peace & Love Generation (Super Deluxe Edition) [2023] (14 x CDs) 

The Flower Power movement of the 60's and 70's brought new styles, new harmonies, and a renewal of music as a form of social commentary. Out of hippie music was born some of the most iconic songs in the history of rock and roll.

Flower Power was a slogan used during the late 1960s and early 1970s as a symbol of passive resistance and nonviolence. It is rooted in the opposition movement to the Vietnam War. The expression was coined by the American Beat poet Allen Ginsberg in 1965 as a means to transform war protests into peaceful affirmative spectacles. 

Hippies embraced the symbolism by dressing in clothing with embroidered flowers and vibrant colors, wearing flowers in their hair, and distributing flowers to the public, becoming known as flower children. The term later became generalized as a modern reference to the hippie movement and so-called counterculture of drugs, psychedelic music, psychedelic art and social permissiveness.

The term "Flower Power" originated in Berkeley, California, as a symbolic action of protest against the Vietnam War. In a November 1965 essay titled How to Make a March/Spectacle, Beat poet Allen Ginsberg advocated that protesters should be provided with "masses of flowers" to hand out to policemen, press, politicians and spectators. The use of props like flowers, toys, flags, candy and music were meant to turn anti-war rallies into a form of street theater thereby reducing the fear, anger and threat that is inherent within protests. In particular, Ginsberg wanted to counter the "specter" of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang who supported the war, equated war protesters with communists and had threatened to violently disrupt planned anti-war demonstrations at the University of California, Berkeley.

Using Ginsberg's methods, the protest received positive attention and the use of "Flower Power" became an integral symbol in the counterculture movement.  By late 1966, the Flower Power method of guerilla theater had spread from California to other parts of the United States. The Bread and Puppet Theater in New York City staged numerous protests which included handing out balloons and flowers with their anti-war literature. Workshop in Nonviolence (WIN), a magazine published by New York activists, encouraged the use of Flower Power.  In May 1967, Abbie Hoffman organized the Flower Brigade as an official contingent of a New York City parade honoring the soldiers in Vietnam. News coverage captured Flower Brigade participants, who carried flowers, flags and pink posters imprinted with LOVE, being attacked and beaten by bystanders. In response to the violence, Hoffman wrote in WIN magazine, "Plans are being made to mine the East River with daffodils. Dandelion chains are being wrapped around induction centers.... The cry of 'Flower Power' echoes through the land. We shall not wilt." On the following Sunday, WIN activists declared Armed Forces Day as "Flower Power Day" and held a rally in Central Park to counter the traditional parade. Turnout was low and, according to Hoffman, the rally was ineffective because guerilla theater needed to be more confrontational.

In October 1967, Hoffman and Jerry Rubin helped organize the March on the Pentagon using Flower Power concepts to create a theatrical spectacle. The plan included a call for marchers to attempt to "levitate" the Pentagon. When the marchers faced off against more than 2,500 Army national guard troops forming a human barricade in front of the Pentagon, some demonstrators held out flowers and a few placed their flowers in the soldiers' rifle barrels.

The iconic center of the Flower Power movement was the Haight-Ashbury district in San Francisco, California. By the mid-1960s, the area, marked by the intersection of Haight and Ashbury streets, had become a focal point for psychedelic rock music. Musicians and bands like Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin all lived a short distance from the famous intersection. During the 1967 Summer of Love, thousands of hippies gathered there, popularized by hit songs such as "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)".

A July 7, 1967, Time magazine cover story on "The Hippies: Philosophy of a Subculture", and an August CBS News television report on "The Hippie Temptation", as well as other major media exposure, brought the hippie subculture to national attention and popularized the Flower Power movement across the country and around the world. That same summer, the Beatles' hit single "All You Need Is Love"

served as an anthem for the movement. On 25 June, the Beatles performed the song on the Our World international satellite broadcast, ensuring that the pacifist message reached an audience estimated at 400 million.

By the early 1970s, the Flower Power anti-war movement had faded primarily due to the end of the military draft in 1972 and the start of American withdrawal from combat activities in Vietnam in January 1973. This late 60s and early 70s pop culture phenomena had many facets, from free love and psychedelia to anti-war and hippies. This vivid youth movement was reflected in the music… the world listened and has never been the same again.

So, after exhaustive and extensive online research, plus my own recollections and memories, here is my personal compilation of what I consider to be the 340 best and most important tracks from the original Flower Power movement.

This jam packed 14CD set is full of the artists and songs who defined the Baby Boomer generation - it's a box full of memories that will bring listeners back in time to an unforgettable era. Only the original studio mixes are included, with many tracks featured in their original 7" single mono form. No later remixes, 'stereo enhanced' or live versions here! Compiled as always using the very latest and highest quality digital remasters, with a considerable number of tracks sourced from the original master tapes for superior sound quality and enjoyment.

  1. It has always been a wonder to me how people label music. I love this era and I already feel a challenge brewing. But I will enjoy to the highest to listen to this collection. This is the era and the music I live for.
    Thanks you K, this may be your best.

    2. Sometimes it's the grouping of songs on that album that makes the experience different, nicer or whatever we feel at that time. Works for me too. 👍

  3. I was at the Human Be-in in Golden Gate Park in 1967, and heard Jefferson Airplane play. Unfortunately, I was two years old and don't remember it. So I'm glad for this collection! Thanks, BB and K.

    1. Hi BG.
      You made me smile.
      Sometimes when I listen to music, I swear I can remember the smell of the air on that day I first heard it. It like when you leave your hometown and you visit after decades, you feel something personal and rewarding. I hope your 2-year-old self is ignited with joy.
      Cheers.

  6. Truly EPIC work as always K - and so good of BB for the postings. One thing. Is this collection an extension of last years '60s Summer of Love' ? Many Thanks again.

    1. Hi zamnocob,
      Many thanks for all your praise. Yes, in a way this is an extension of my Summer of Love compilation as the Flower Power movement covered more years than just 1967. The years of 1965 to 1973 tend to be the overall consensus according to most write ups and postings on the subject. There are a couple of tracks from 1964, but they have always been considered to be an integral part of the Flower Power 'scene', plus Lynyrd Skynyrd's 'Sweet Home Alabama' was actually recorded in June 1973, but not released until a year later in June 1974: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_Home_Alabama, but is featured on this excellent compilation: https://www.discogs.com/release/8012945-Various-Magic-Bus, so I think it just snuck in there and fits the bill.
      Hope you get many hours of enjoyment from this set.
      Cheers

    1. Hi BrownBlackBlues.
      Glad you like it.
      Whilst I love this period immensely, I guess each decade has a different peak for music, all great.
      Cheers.
