 WoW! Go ride the music September 18, 2007
9 out of 18 found this review helpful
I do not have this yet but I will ASAP! I have been collecting this music since it first came out. Many of these bands I was able to see in person back in the day. The New Breed, The Oxford Circle,Kak,Country Weather and Blue Cheer were local Sacramento bands that played the City. I was able to catch these bands at the Sound Factory or Sacramento Mermorial Hall when they supported British and larger SF acts. Jefferson Airplane, The Vejtables, The Mojo Men,Country Joe and the Fish,Santana, Beau Brummels,Sly and the Family Stone I saw at the Fillmore West or Winterland.You knew that you were seeing something very special just by being there. When I moved to Santa Cruz County The Moby Grape lived nearby and I got to meet them. Great people. They did a gig for my cousin when she got burned to cover medical cost. QMS I saw in Boise ID. Wow! Dino, John, and Gary were magic together. Thanks for the memories!

Being a mid-western 70's kid, I missed the summer of love and the whole 60's thing, but this has to be as close as you can get to it. Well thought-out, very nicely packaged, and totally cool.
I'm glad to have this!

No real need to go into details about the music here other than to say that the tunes are great. The book that comes with the set is fab. The super tight built-in sleeves that house the CDs are THE WORST CONTRAPTIONS OF ALL TIME. Two of my CDs were scratched at purchase. What the heck was Rhino thinking?

An amazing collection of 77 folk, psychedelic songs. When I listen to these songs I can't help but hear how many of the more commercial successful rock bands( The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd etc.) of the time took a little something from some of these obscure tunes and bands and put it into their own recordings. San Francisco was definintly a place to spend time at to hear the fresh new psychedelic sound. The sound and times were happening in New York and just about everywhere at the time of 1965-1970. The remastering is in incredible on these tunes, even on my discman with headphones the sound is incredibly pristine. The book is incredible with photos and recording dates and amazing informative linear notes. This Box set is a collectible. I tell you, listening to this cd box set, really takes you back in time in current events and the music industry of 1965-1970. You know, when I listen to this cd set, I realize how less processed music was in the 1960s, bands made thier own music, today computers do most of the performing, I guess downloading of today takes away something from music regardless of age and genres. It is just not the same as going out and buying the old vinyl lp. I like the convience of a legal download myself, it's just when I hear these tunes I feel like I'm hearing them on the old Sears turntable. Incredible stuff, I really think this cd set should win some awards for music compilations, it's that good. If this box set interest you, you might want to take a trip with Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965-1968 and Nuggets II: Original Artyfacts from the British Empire and Beyond. A word of advice, it's nice to listen to the four cds in order, but it is better when you set your audio machine to shuffle, but of course that is your preference.
Believe me this cd compilation is a nice trip to take............

To me this is one of the best various artists box sets ever. They did it right, told a story and didn't always go for the hits but for what is important to the story.
