VARIOUS - ACID DREAMS

(new CD) (PAST & PRESENT)

Recognised as one of the truly great comps of all time, this 70s selection of 60s hard guitar psych, compiled by the owner of a record shop in Berlin, has often been reissued on CD with the wrong track listing and non-existent liner notes.

Originally released on LP, only 77 copies were pressed and apart from a few that were given to friends and family, the remaining records were only sold through the compilers shop. Unavailable on either LP or CD for years, we are pleased to make this important compilation available again.

This re-issue, which stays faithful to the original, comes with an 8-page booklet detailing each of the 18 tracks.

Acid Dreams proved that punk rock was not a new thing; kids had adopted the same snotty attitude in the mid to late 60s. Opening, and setting the standard for whats to come, is White Light's William, a compulsive classic hard guitar-psych 45 and 17 more psych diamonds follow in its wake. A true gem mined and polished by Past & Present.
