Groundbreaking psychedelic grooves from the mid-to-late 60s International Artists label -- featuring the cream of the crop of Texas psyche forbears 13th Floor Elevators, The Bubble Puppy and Red Krayola -- plus loads of more obscure material and rare singles on the label! The sounds are actually pretty diverse, from more rugged garage
rock singles in the earlier years, to full blown freakouts a little later, and some cosmic boogie and a little bit of the
blues thrown in, as it was Texas, after all! Really great stuff all the way through, with 83 tracks on 3 CDs, and a nice booklet of notes: Disc 1 focuses on the rugged garagey tunes and some of the more stripped down sounding nuggets from the psyche spectrum with "I Want My Woman" by The Emperors, "You're Gonna Miss Me" by 13th Floor Elevators, "In My Own Time" b The Patterns, "Air Conditioned Man" by Thursday's Children and much more! Disc 2 is steeped deeply into the true psyche movement with "Hot Smoke & Sasafrass" by Bubble Puppy, "Stargavtion" by Golden Dawn, "Lost And Found" by Professor Black, "This Is Love" by Endle St Cloud, "Vile Vile Grass" by Red Krayola and much more. Disc 3 is a grab bag of Texas psyche grooves,
rock and even some Texas
blues, with "Pepperman" by Arnim & Hamilton, "My Cup Is Full" by Disciples Of Shaftesbury, "Splash 1" by Roky & Clementine Hall, "Baby Child" by Lightnin Hopkins, "May The Circle Remain Unbroken" by 13th Floor Elevators and more.
