Various Artists - Look At The Sun : Precious Seconds Thought Gone From The British Underground 1967-1970 CD
SKU
23-TSSCD 005
Note: as far as I know, the ‘Louise’ featured here with two songs is the 1967 era psychedelic band that was Chris Cutler’s first ‘pro’ outfit!
“I ignored this release for ages, not realizing that the majority was BBC live recordings, as I thought it was just one of the many dozens of psych comps around these days, some of which are pretty good, but many of which are filled with disappointing psych filler and stuff that you've already got multiple copies of. But there's no danger of that with this CD, and I'd be surprised if many people already have any of these tracks.
If you want to listen to how top bands like Kaleidoscope, Fleur De Lys, T2 and others recorded live in the studio, then this is for you. In addition, there are some acetates from a couple of bands I've never heard of, a great new one to me being Louise, not a female starlet but a regular 4 man psych group who did some interesting stuff on their acetate. Sound quality varies, most of the tracks are of course in mono, with one or two in a rougher sound quality, but generally all are acceptable to my ears. All in all, highly recommended.”
