The second half of the two volume set is just as trippy and wild as the first. It features bands such as American Express, Martin Martin, Mass (featuring Billy Joel on piano), The Mission as well as a passel of other artists trying to take rock and roll into the stratosphere. Many songs are on this CD but there isn't a bad trip in the bunch and at least every other song had me scratching my head and wondering why these songs and these artists didn't reach more of an audience. Pass the windowpane!Fans of '60's music are just going to go apeshit 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. A definite bonus are the liner notes. Brief yet informative, the notes manage to squeeze in just enough info on the bands to get you hooked and often include an anecdote about which bandmember eventually went off to work with this famous musician or what other groundbreaking band they joined. Very fun to read and informative as hell for being so brief. Also great are the annotations for which label it was recorded and the serial numbers on the original records. Great info for the collectors and music geeks such as myself. The vintage radio commercials spliced in between the songs are VERY cool. Featuring major bands and artists from the period and in line with the particular volume they are featured, these "commercial breaks" help make each of these CDs seem as if they are being beamed in by the coolest radio station ever. If you can only buy one "boxset" this year - this is the one to get. http://www.lostinthegrooves.com/node/3303

WILLIS “GATOR” JACKSON - Gator Tails '64 @320
An exciting tenor saxophonist whose honking and squeals (although influenced by Illinois Jacquet) were quite distinctive, Willis Jackson was also a strong improviser who sounded perfectly at home with organ groups. He played locally in Florida early on, until joining Cootie Williams (on and off during 1948-1955). His two-sided honking feature "Gator Tail" with "Cootie" (which earned Williams a lifelong nickname) was a hit in 1948, and he started recording as a leader in 1950. Jackson had a romantic and creative partnership with singer Ruth Brown for eight years, and often appeared on her recordings during this era. His extensive series of Prestige recordings (1959-1964) made him a big attraction on the organ circuit. Although generally overlooked by critics, Willis Jackson continued working steadily in the 1970s and '80s. In 1977, he recorded one of the finest albums of his career for Muse, Bar Wars. (Allmusic)

JOHN PRINE - September 78 (2015) @320
In the fall of 1978, singer-songwriter John Prine returned home to Chicago for a concert appearance at the famed Park West club. The show, captured on the limited edition album September 78, features John backed by his rock n’ roll band, ably led by longtime friend Johnny Burns. Angelo Varias played drums, alongside bassist Tommy ‘Pickles’ Piekarski, while Howard Levy joined on organ, piano and harmonica. Johnny Burns and his signature guitar licks locked the whole thing together. Prine’s Oh Boy Records is pressing just 2000 individually-numbered LPs of September 78. It will be initially released for Record Store Day on April 18, 2015. The album also features two cover tracks - "Try To Find Another Man," made famous by The Righteous Brothers, as well as "Treat Me Nice," originally sung by Elvis Presley. September 78 will be released on 180 gram, 12-inch, orange vinyl. Each LP also comes with a digital download of the record's ten tracks. John Prine hopes that his fans will enjoy this performance from a special period of time in his career.

The Lost Grooves: Rare and Previously Unissued Slices of Funk from the Vaults of Blue Note, 1967-70 @320
Excellent compilation of rare recordings from the Blue Note vaults. These are jazz-funk masterpieces of the highest order!
With the exception of Stanley Turrentine's relatively laid back version of "Spooky" these songs all sizzle and pop with delicious, thick grooves. You are treated to the distinctive sound of the Hammond B-3 organ by Rueben Wilson, Lonnie Smith, and John Patton; some trademark guitar licks by Grant Green; and scorching sax work by Turrentine and Lou Donaldson. And course many of those same musicians can be heard as "backup" players on the other tracks on this CD too.
Marvelous stuff! If you enjoy this magical period of Blue Note, you'll thoroughly enjoy this collection. (Record Runner)
1. Hold On, I'm Comin' - Rueben Wilson
2. It's Your Thing - Grant Green
3. The Scorpion - Lou Donaldson
4. Hey Western Union Man - Grant Green
5. Brother Soul - Lou Donaldson
6. Villiage Lee - John Patton
7. Spooky - Stanley Turrentine
8. Dancin' Is An Easy Groove - Lonnie Smith

JOHN RENBOURN - The Lady and the Unicorn '70 @320
Renbourn's last solo album for the next six years overlaps with his Pentangle work, featuring Terry Cox playing hand drums and glockenspiel, with future John Renbourn band member Tony Roberts and violinist Dave Swarbrick. The repertory consists of medieval and early classical pieces, interspersed with the expected folk material -- keyboard works from the Fitzwilliam virginal book (transcribed for guitar) stand alongside traditional tunes such as "Scarborough Fair," which turns up as part of an 11-minute track that also incorporates "My Johnny Was a Shoemaker," with Swarbrick at the top of his form on violin. The album is entirely instrumental, but as with other Renbourn releases, one hardly misses the vocals. (Bruce Eder, Allmusic)
When Renbourn put this album out around 1970, it was quite an unusual release. He and his friend Bert Jansch were at that point heading the band Pentangle, and between their solo efforts and the band's had been exploring a synthesis of folk, blues, classical and jazz styles. This album brought to the mix yet another element: Medieval and Renaissance music. Renbourn's solo and small ensemble arrangements of the material are mostly gentle and respectful, yet incorporate a jazz flair that give them a truly contemporary sound. This was really good dinner and/or 'date' music for the period: quiet and intimate, and with plenty of personality. (Record Runner)

Much thanks to Frans for helping with this Voyages Into... Psychedelia Vol. 2!
John Prine!!! An absolute American treasure. He is the best. What a great live recording. Thank you Gyro!!! I'm bound to drive everyone I know crazy with this new addition to my prized JP collection. Gracias!!
Thanks
Thanks to Frans, Ryp and Chocoreve. The FLAC version is most welcome!
The comments in this place are absolutely insane. How could I not immediately want to listen to the "Gator"? And how will I ever find the time to appreciate these gems ...
I love these "Voyages" collections (except maybe the "rock" ones). The sound quality is definitely better than the "Archaeology" comps (as someone mentioned in a previous thread). Thanks so much!
And Gyro, the "Lost Grooves" comp is freakin' fantastic. I have it playing loudly in the background as I'm typing this up. Your shares are always appreciated.
