Best known for their rock & roll standard "Pushin' Too Hard," the Seeds
combined the raw, Stonesy appeal of garage rock with a fondness for ragged,
trashy psychedelia. And though they never quite matched the commercial peak
of their first two singles, "Pushin' Too Hard" and "Can't Seem to Make You
Mine", the band continued to record for the remainder of the '60s,
eventually delving deep into post-Sgt. Pepper's psychedelia and art rock.
None of their new musical directions resulted in another hit single, and
the group disbanded at the turn of the decade.
For many, The Seeds' "A Web Of Sound" is the band's finest moment, and the
record is fully in line with the progressive musical atmosphere of Los
Angeles in the mid-1960s. The second half of 1966 could be viewed as the
peak of the original Seeds' three-year career in terms of creativity and
credibility. A quintessential 1966 rock album, "A Web Of Sound" retained
the crazed energy of the Seeds first album, but dosed with a growing
maturity and a willingness to experiment. It evolved out of a period when
bohemian rock clubs of the city that the contents of 'web' flowered.
Written and recorded during the band's residencies at Hollywood's
underground club Bido Litos, alongside Love and the embryonic Doors it
achieved notoriety for the 14-minute showstopper "Up In Her Room", but also
features some of the Seeds' signature tunes including "Mr Farmer",
"Tripmaker" and "A Faded Picture". There is a questing, proto-psychedelic
aura to 'web' that is both delicious and thrilling at the same time.
Seeds fans should note that the entire contents of our deluxe two-disc set
are new to compact disc. They include the original stereo mix of the "A Web
Of Sound" which has been unavailable since the 1960s, along with its
punchier mono incarnation. The previously unreleased outtakes include a
cryptic early demo of "The Wind Blows Your Hair", with a completely
different arrangement to the version issued as a single, as well as its
original mildly controversial lyric.
Also featured is an unused mono mix of the "A Full Spoon Of Seedy Blues"
LP, made at the time of its recording in late 1966. This LP, originally
credited to the Sky Saxon Blues Band, is traditionally seen as a bit of an
aberration in the Seeds catalogue, but listening to it now, it is revealed
as a creditable attempt to pay homage to a genre that few white American
contributed the song "Plain Spoken"; and members of his band performed on
the sessions and he wrote a tribute on the LP jacket, was also a major
feather in the Seeds' cap.
