Various Artists - Poppies: Assorted Finery From The First Psychedelic Age

This compilation is designed to showcase the breadth of music touched by psychedelia in the late 1960s whether it be pop, folk or rock. This eclectic mix of psychedelic masters is drawn from the Vanguard, Original Sound, and Stax catalogs. This will be the first-time official reissue for several tracks, and the first ever for The Human Jungle's ''When Will You Happen to Me,'' with many others presented in their rare mono incarnation. The LP includes detailed liner notes based on fresh research that provide historical perspective on both the individual artists and the era in which the recordings were made. This will be the first of a planned series of rarities that will include future volumes dedicated to 1960s garage rock and sunshine pop.
