Los Angeles, California's The Seeds were a unique 60's band. They influenced bands in the genres of acid rock, garage rock, psychedelia and protopunk. They had a few hit singles in “Pushin' Too Hard”, “Can't Seem To Make You Mine” and “Mr. Farmer”. They're only now finally getting vinyl releases of the retro/revisionist variety. Sundazed Music has released such an item on Record Store Day of 2013. It's a double-seven-inch release of the bands two MGM singles. Recorded as a short-lived quintet at the end of the bands in 1970, the sound is similar to what the band had done on the GNP
Crescendo label from 1965-1969.
“Love In A Summer
Basket” and “Wish Me Up” are blissed-out would-be Summer Of
Love concoctions that employ flutes, lazy guitars and Daryl Hooper's
keyboards. “Bad Part Of Town” and “Did He Die” sound like
early tracks by The Stooges. The latter of which retains an intensity
not commonly associated with the late 60's/early 70's. I only wish
this line-up had recorded more as than what's been made available
(once again after having been out of print basically since their
release).
Very highly-recommended!
