A Web Of Sounds - Deluxe Edition
Big Beat s second instalment in its much-anticipated upgrade of the catalogue of garage legends the Seeds continues with their second album, A Web Of Sound , released in October 1966 just as their classic Pushin Too Hard 45 began to ascend the US hit parade. Written and recorded during the band's residencies at Hollywood s underground haven Bido Litos, alongside Love and the embryonic Doors in the summer of 1966, A Web Of Sound showcased a more mature, developing Seeds sound. The record became notorious for the 14-minute showstopper Up In Her Room , but it also includes some of the group's signature tunes including Mr Farmer , Tripmaker and A Faded Picture . The bulk of the contents of this deluxe two-disc set are new to compact disc, including the original stereo mix of A Web Of Sound , which has not been available since the 1960s. Also featured is the album s mono incarnation, as well as an unused mono mix of the stop-gap 1967 LP A Full Spoon Of Seedy Blues , made in late 1966. A selection of previously unreleased outtakes rounds out the package. As with all Big Beat's Seeds reissues, A Web Of Sound comes as a trifold digipak with extensive illustrations and fresh commentary from assorted participants on both its contents and the career of these garage rock avatars.
