Your Introduction to Psych Rock Rarities Volume One
I once spent far too much time listening to rare late-60s and early-70s psych rock albums. Many of them were released on small independent labels or in self-pressed editions of a few 100 copies. Much of it was dire, but there were a myriad of gems if you looked for them and so I decided to select 20 of my favourite tracks for a compilation. A few years down the line, I still listen to this mix and think it's pretty great - so I'm putting it out for a short while for you to enjoy for free.

Jon - Yo; what a great entry, your whole blog has been a pleasure to catch from time to time. Really cool to see someone put some artistic effort and individuality into their blog. I'm a fan.
Thanks Evan. Great to hear that :)
Looking forward to hearing this, downloading away.
Do you have an e-mail address I could use? I wanted to talk about possibly covering my label, but not sure of the best way to get in touch?
I normally skip if I can't find a contact, but 'psych rock rarities' suggests something special here! :)
I'm at info at audioantihero.com
Hopefully hear from you sir,
Jamie

Martin Thurn-Mithoff (Analogy) said in 2013:
Tin's song is "still part of our live set - in a slightly extended and more bluesy version.
Back in 1970, Tin, a guy from Caracas (Venezuela) spent a couple of weeks with us. I used the initial riff he played on an old acoustic guitar during a mad mid-summer's night!"
I love these kinds of obscure slithers of folk histroy Martin
