The perfumed garden - Various artists - 2009 (Psychedelic Garage Rock {UK})

The perfumed garden (82 rare flowerings from the British underground [1965-1973], 2009) - outside (box) - front (box)

Hoje trago no blog este excelente box set lançado em edição limitada (1000 peças) pela Past & Present Records no final de 2009. Trata-se de um box com cinco discos razendo o melhor do garage e psychedelic rock britânico do final dos anos sessenta e início dos anos 70.

A cena underground do Reino Unido dos anos 60 estava experimentando um ressurgimento de interesse, iniciado pelos lançamentos seminais de "Chocolate soup for diabetics". O sucesso dessas compilações inspirou o selo Psycho, que já havia se especializado na psicodelia dos EUA, a explorar mais obscuridades do Reino Unido e criar os dois primeiros volumes de "The perfumed garden" (obviamente intitulado após o lendário programa de rádio de John Peel). Embora todas as músicas apresentadas na série não pudessem ser consideradas verdadeiramente "psicodélicas", os colecionadores lutaram para obter os LPs. A série foi lançada pela primeira vez em CD em 1995 pela gravadora Reverberation, acompanhada por um terceiro volume recém-compilado e algumas mudanças nas listas de faixas.

Vinte e cinco anos depois, Past & Present Records continua sua admirável missão de reeditar compilações psicodélicas significativas ao lançar os CDs de todos os três volumes de "The perfumed garden" (agora intitulado "A perfumed garden").

A lista de faixas do LP original "Volume 2" foi restaurada, incluindo a interpretação incomum de "For your love" da The Ace Kefford Stand e a faixa R&B "I'm coming home" da The Deviants. Infelizmente, nenhum encarte está incluído, como nos lançamentos originais. Talvez essa decisão tenha sido baseada em permanecer o mais autêntico possível em suas reproduções - no entanto, considerando a linda embalagem dos conjuntos anteriores da série "Rubble" da Past & Present Records, isso é uma decepção.

Os dois primeiros volumes são claramente os melhores, abrindo com "Try a little sunshine" da Factory, e apresentando clássicos freakbeat da The Eyes e The Birds, bem como a autêntica psicodelia britânica da Shy Limbs, Mandrake Paddle Steamer, Rupert's People e The Open Mind. Outro destaque do "Volume 1" é a raramente apresentada "Floatin'" da Vamp, banda de Viv Prince depois da The Pretty Things. No entanto, muitas dessas faixas foram apresentadas com melhor qualidade de som em outras composições que se seguiram ao original "The perfumed garden". O "Volume 3" inclui algumas escolhas de músicas duvidosas que não se encaixam no tema original - no entanto, é um dos poucos lugares onde se pode encontrar uma faixa da Reign, o empreendimento pós-Yardbirds de Keith Relf e Jim McCarty.

A importância do lançamento inicial de "The perfumed garden" não pode ser subestimada. Ajudou a pavimentar o caminho para o maior selo de reedições psicodélicas do Reino Unido, Bam Caruso, eventualmente levando às excelentes reedições que estamos desfrutando hoje. Para quem perdeu essas composições históricas inicialmente, a oportunidade de obtê-las agora é certamente bem-vinda.

Sobre a edição dos arquivos: Para que os artistas não fiquem separados no reprodutor de mp3, as tags "artista" e "artista participante" foram preenchidas com "The perfumed garden (various artists)". Sendo assim, no seu reprodutor de mp3 você verá este álbum com o artista nomeado como "The perfumed garden (various artists)". O nome de cada artista está junto ao título da música entre parênteses. Postagem anteriores como a da série "Psychedelic gems" serão futuramente editadas da mesma forma. E todas as postagems de coletâneas/compilações que reunirem vários artistas serão editadas de forma igual a partir desta.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Today I bring on the blog this excellent box set released in limited edition (1000 pieces) by Past & Present Records at the end of 2009. It is a box with five discs featuring the best of British garage and psychedelic rock from the late sixties and early 70's.

The UK '60s underground scene was experiencing a resurgence of interest, initiated by the seminal "Chocolate soup for diabetics" releases. The success of those compilations inspired the Psycho label, which had previously specialized in US psychedelia, to mine deeper for more UK obscurities and create the first two of "The perfumed garden" volumes (obviously titled after the legendary John Peel's radio show). Although all the songs featured in the series could not be considered truly "psychedelic", collectors scrambled to obtain the LPs. The series was first issued on CD in 1995 by the Reverberation label, accompanied by a newly compiled third volume, and some changes to the track listings.

Twenty-five years later, Past & Present Records continues their admirable mission of reissuing significant psychedelics compilations by releasing the CDs of all three volumes of "The perfumed garden" (now titled "A perfumed garden").

The original "Volume 2" LP track listing was restored, including The Ace Kefford Stand's unusual interpretation of "For your love" and The Deviants' snotty R&B track "I'm coming home". Unfortunately, no liner notes are included, as with the original releases. Perhaps this decision was based on remaining as authentic as possible in their reproductions - however, considering the gorgeous packaging of Past & Present Records' previous "Rubble" series box sets, this is a disappointment.

The first two volumes are clearly the best, opening with the Factory's "Try a little sunshine", and showcasing freakbeat classics by The Eyes and The Birds, as well as authentic British psychedelia from Shy Limbs, Mandrake Paddle Steamer, Rupert's People and The Open Mind. Another highlight of "Volume 1" is the rarely featured "Floatin'" by Vamp, Viv Prince's band after The Pretty Things. However, many of these tracks have been featured in better sound quality on other comps that followed in the wake of the original "The Perfumed garden". "Volume 3" includes some dubious song choices that do not fit with the original theme - however, it is one of the few places one can find a track by Reign, the post-Yardbirds venture of Keith Relf and Jim McCarty.

The importance of the initial release of "The perfumed garden" cannot be understated. It helped pave the way for arguably the greatest UK psychedelic reissue label, Bam Caruso, eventually leading to the excellent reissues we are enjoying today. For anyone who missed out on these historic comps initially, the opportunity to obtain them now is certainly welcome.

About editing files: So that the artists are not separated in the mp3 player, the tags "artist" and "participating artist" have been filled with "The perfumed garden (various artists)". Therefore, on your mp3 player you will see this album with the artist named as "The perfumed garden (various artists)". The name of each artist is next to the song title in parentheses. Previous posts such as the "Psychedelic gems" series will be edited in the same way in the future. And all compilation/collection posts that bring together several artists will be edited equally from this one.
