Lovingly compiled by musicologist and all-around 60's music guru Ben Chaput, these ten comps 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. (Lost In The Grooves)

Many thanks to Frans for sending these comps from his collection @320.
This is a fine 6 CD collection of mostly West Coast Psych, garage, and garage rock (in its many varieties) from the later part of the 60’s - most have never been comped before.
(These are fully tagged with artwork - a great job by Frans)

SANDRA WRIGHT- Wounded Woman (Recorded 1973) (Released 1989, Reissue 2015) @320
Professionally trained in gospel and opera, plus the informal blues and barbecue of her Memphis, Tennessee hometown, Sandra Wright was almost the jewel in Stax’s southern soul crown.
Wounded Woman was recorded at Broadway Studios Muscle Shoals in 1974 produced by David Johnson, in the same studio that Swamp Dogg used for his seminal albums by Doris Duke and Sandra Phillips.
The album was licensed to Stax records Truth subsidiary label but only a couple of 45 were issued before Stax’s demise. It was eventually released by Demon records in the UK in 1989 to critical acclaim.
That issue is now extremely sought after by Soul fans and collectors, copies change hands for up to £200. The album contains nine classic soul cuts, including the bouncy title track, deep soul ballads of great intensity like ‘I’m not strong enough to love you again’ and ‘I’ll see you through’ and three tracks that have been filling Modern Soul dance floors for years ‘Midnight Affair’, ‘I Come running back’ and ‘A man cant be a man’. Every track on this album is superb, hence its popularity and demand. This album should have been as big as Shirley Brown’s ‘Woman to Woman’ which was released on the Truth label in the same year, it’s that good, and Sandra would have been enjoyed the fame that Shirley attained. (Allmusic)
A lost southern soul album from the 70s – recorded down at Muscle Shoals by singer Sandra Wright, and originally intended for release on Stax Records – but never issued at the time! Sandra's a great singer – deep soul, but with a touch of class, too – and the approach here shows that maturing Muscle Shoals sound, recorded at the Broadway Studio by David Johnson – at a level that's a bit in the Ann Sexton side of the spectrum – a sparkling, sophisticated feel that almost reminds us of the best female soul coming from Detroit or Chicago at the time, but with a slightly deeper range. Stax issued a few singles, but never issued the full album – which makes this one even more of a treasure for collectors of that time! Titles include "Wounded Woman", "The Sha-La Bandit", "Midnight Affair", "I Come Running Back", "I'm Not Strong Enough To Love You Again", "Please Don't Say Goodbye", and "A Man Can't Be A Man".

WRECKLESS ERIC & AMY RIGBY - Two-Way Family Favourites (2010) @320
When two songwriters as gifted as Eric Goulden (better known by his stage name Wreckless Eric) and Amy Rigby decide to record an album of covers together, you have to wonder if they're being lazy or they're having a dry spell. While it's not impossible that either of those factors played into the making of their second album together, 2010's Two-Way Family Favourites, a listen to the record suggests that these two writers know something about a great song and what makes it click, and on these sessions they take 11 tunes (most of which you're probably familiar with) and give them a spin that makes them seem fresh, deeply personal, and genuinely moving. You might imagine you never want to hear another version of "Put a Little Love in Your Heart," and you might be right, but Rigby sings it with such clear and unaffected sincerity that the song's altruism feels fresh and genuine for the first time in decades. Eric performs similar magic with Pete Townshend's "Endless Wire" and Tom Petty's "Walls." These are two tunes most folks would regard as lesser accomplishments from worthy talents, but Eric reveals the muscle, blood, and heart beneath their surfaces with his craggy but inspired vocal work. When Amy and Eric sing "The Ballad of Easy Rider," their harmonies breathe new life into the song's sense of yearning, they make the heartache of "You Tore Me Down" into something palpable, and their take on "In My Room" captures the sweet loneliness at its core as well as anyone since Brian Wilson himself. And if "Silver Shirt" by Plummet Airlines is the sort of song remembered only by a tiny number of pub rock obsessives, in Eric's hands the song seems like a minor masterpiece, and the song's repeated refrain "The light is fading/Goodbye, rock & roll" sounds all the more poignant coming from a man who has given well over three decades to rock with relatively little reward. So who wants to hear two songwriters sing other people's stuff? In the case of Two-Way Family Favourites, you do. Really. (Mark Deming, Allmusic)

Two-Way Family Favourites was the name of a BBC radio program back when I was a little lad. I remember listening to requests from people in England going out to the relatives overseas in armed forces bases all over. They would say "This is from mom and dad in Dagenham going out to their son Fred in BFPO 17" Sometimes the link up would be fading in and out and the announcer would say things like "Cologne can you hear me? I heard a lot of 50's music on that program.
Thx Gyro for the California comp. (and all the rest!)

Thanks, Gyro, for that Wreckless Eric & Amy Rigby. It's true, many covers albums are not really worth the time. It's nice to be tipped off to a good one.
I adore "Don't Mean a Thing," so I'm excited to see what's here alongside it.
I hadn't known there was more the the California Love-In series than the two I have. Thanks so much, Gyro & Frans!
