Perfumed Garden: 82 Rare Flowerings 1965-1973
The producers have dredged up an incredible set of songs and have mastered them so well that it's not immediately obvious which are from vinyl and which from master tape, unlike for example, the chocolate soup for diabetics compilation, which may have rarer tracks but whose quality at times leaves a lot to be desired. CDs 1 to 3 are mostly psych, and were apparently previously available on LP, while the more recently compiled CDs 4 and 5 tend more towards prog. Be careful how much you pay for it, but be sure to track this one down. (Customer Review)
Buzzingly melodic psychedelic gems from the Brit scene of the mid 60s to early 70s – a pretty large assortment of aromatic obscurities – creeping dangerously close to 100 songs on 5CDs, with a glossy booklet of notes, too! The groups throughout this set weren't afraid to heap a little bit of heft to the vibe, particularly in the fuzzed out guitars dept, but they do so pretty a sweet sense of melody. Pretty great stuff, not out of the realm of better known groups like The Creation. 82 tracks on 5CDs: "Try A Little Sunshine" by Factory, "Floatin'" by Vamp, "Reputation" by Shy Limbs, "Magic Potion" by Open Mind, "No Home Today" by Kult, "Baby Don't You Doi It" by poets, "Red Sky At Night" by Accent, "Take Her Any Time" by Longboatmen, "Hold On" by Rupert's People, "Dinosaur" by Joint, "Leg" by Arzachel, "Jamie's Song" by Deviants, "Feelin Free" by Pacific Drift", "Mr Sunshine" by Dogfeet, "Extensive Corrosion" by Bram Stoker.
