There's been numerous bootleg psych comps that have trickled to collectors over the years, but this official compilation wipes the slate clean and allows even the newbie to get deep into this nerdus genre. Here's what the label has to say: \"Those of us birthed into record collecting by the Hip Hop midwife  revered \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/search?q=jimi+hendrix\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJimi Hendrix\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e as well as \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/search?q=james+brown\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Brown\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.

Not one song is included on this  compilation because it is from a \"rare\" album. Certainly, many of these songs do spring from albums that exchange hands for many  thousands of dollars and many of these songs have never seen reissue. But these songs are all beautiful in their own right and work to form a coherent album. Psychedelic records, long the mainstay of older, grizzled collectors and seemingly quaint, are, in the hands of Egon and those of his generation, giving up new ghosts. 15 tracks in all, includes detailed liner notes.
