Bemerkungen / Comments:
Previously unreleased recordings by Peanut Butter Conspiracy’s mainman Alan Lee Brackett, mostly written and recorded in 1967, when PBC were at their fame peak. Here, Alan explores a number of different styles, encompassing fuzzed out garage numbers, sunshine pop, folk rock and full blown psychedelia.
Including ahead of its time garage-psychedelic DIY homemade recordings on which Alan plays all instruments by himself plus pro-sounding studio cuts.
Although best known as a member of The Peanut Butter Conspiracy, Alan Brackett enjoyed a long career in the music business that book-ended his time with that legendary group. A multi talented musician so adept at playing numerous musical instruments he was a veritable one man band, and a skilled songwriter who penned many of the PBC's best loved songs. Alan's musical pedigree is second to none. From his early days on the folk circuit through his time with one of the West Coast's premier psychedelic groups and on to his solo career in the seventies, he crafted a body of work that many musicians would envy.
Most of the tracks included here were recorded by Alan between 1967-68 at his home studio, using a Teac A1200 tape deck. Is was an innovative DIY approach: he used improvised drum kits made up from household objects and manipulated amps and guitars to create feedback and distortion effects.
The remaining tracks from this collection were laid down during sessions at a pro studio, Hollywood Sound, although such is the quality of Alan's home recordings you would be hard pressed to single out which ones were made in more professional surroundings. There are surprising guests such as Glen Campbell, who plays tasty lead guitar on “Freeways of Love”. Alan also collaborates with his friend Knox Henderson (songwriter of some of the hits for Mouse & The Traps) on a couple of tracks included here.
Songs like “Shell of a man” or “Blowin’ my mind over you” could’ve been easily included on any of the Peanut Butter Conspiracy albums while others like “Summertime changes” or “Love’s only sleeping” are amazing examples of homemade, DIY psych-fuzz.
