Customer Reviews

The Seeds' finest flowerings!
This is an absolutely stunning package. It supersedes (pardon the pun) all previous collections and demonstrates, if proof were needed, that The Seeds were much more than one-hit wonders. Across 2 discs, each packed to the limit (no empty disc space here), you get basically everything the group did during its existence as a recording outfit for GNP Crescendo, and what an astonishing variety of musical ideas they offer.

Sky Saxon's vocals underpin the tough, driving and primitive sound of this most influential of 60's West Coast groups through 49 tracks, starting and ending with the classic title track, the latter version being from their 1967 live album "Raw & Alive At Merlin's Music Box". There is not a duff track in this set, no filler, just 2-and-a-half hours of barnstorming music. There are occasional gentler pieces to lighten the mood, but otherwise this is basic garage rock at its finest.

All tracks are expertly remastered, and there is a fascinating mini-history of the band in the enclosed booklet. It's astonishing to think that, without The Seeds, there would have been no 70s US or UK Punk, no Stooges or Ramones. Whatever you call the territory, The Seeds were there first.

The Seeds
One of the groups I very recently discovered thanks to the Riot on Sunset Strip soundtrack. I remembered the sound but not the artists behind. Well finally I could listen to it again after more than 40 years! It is fresh rock with an innuendo of punk years before its birth.
