 Distorted guitars pushed to the extremes seem to be the formula capable of opening the doors of success for the group.

 Status Quo give their best in tracks like Elizabeth Dream, Technicolor Dreams, and the Hendrix-inspired Gentlemen Joe’s Sidewalk Cafe.

Status Quo's 1968 debut album, Picturesque Matchstickable Messages, captures the essence of late 60s English psychedelic rock mixed with pop. Featuring standout tracks like Pictures of Matchstick Man and Ice in the Sun, the album showcases distorted guitar riffs, melodic singing, and innovative studio effects. Despite a couple of weaker tracks, the album remains a significant artifact of the psychedelic era and highlights the early talents of Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt before the band's later hard rock success. Discover the psychedelic roots of Status Quo—listen to their debut and experience 60s rock history today!

 The Amazing Blondel are by far the best among those folk-rock bands that emerged at the end of the sixties.

 Fantasia Lindum... is now available in a CD box set along with the first album, a must-have for fans of the genre.

Amazing Blondel's 1971 album Fantasia Lindum offers a captivating journey into Elizabethan-inspired folk-rock. The band’s use of traditional instruments and evocative vocals sets them apart from their contemporaries. The album balances strong British folk roots with West Coast influences, highlighted by memorable tracks like 'Swifts Swain And Leafy Lanes' and ’Seige Of Yaddlethorpe.’ A timeless classic for folk and acoustic music fans. Explore the enchanting sounds of Amazing Blondel's Fantasia Lindum and immerse yourself in a unique blend of medieval and folk-rock music.

 As soon as you start listening to the album, you will be transported to a fairy world where the Nordic sound of flutes, harps, guitars masterfully merges with the oriental sound of the sitar.

 I recommend listening to the album from start to finish, a sort of guiding thread will transport you into the magical enchanted world of the Incredible String Band.

Released in 1968 during the psychedelic peak, The Incredible String Band’s album creates a magical fusion of folk and psychedelic sounds. Featuring unique instrumentation and enchanting vocals by Mike Heron and Robin Williamson, the album offers a hallucinatory experience that transcends traditional folk music. Produced by Joe Boyd, it is highly recommended to listen from start to finish for full immersion. Dive into the enchanting sounds of The Incredible String Band and experience their psychedelic folk journey today!
