Three undergound/Prog compilations with TEB's tracks in.

Three compilations that was pubblished in the last years have TEB's tracks in. 

The first one, published in UK in 2019, is titled "Beautiful Freaks" (TAD Records TAD2CD) and among original tunes by Allen Ginsberg, Fugs, Grateful Dead, Incredible String Band, Gong and Hawkwind, offers TEB's "Earth" from the second album.

The concept here is to celebrate an age (1966-1970) when the 'popular music' was mainly counter-culture, with a strong political impact to the mainstream. There are two editions available: one on CD, the other one in a 2LPs set.

The second anthology, titled "The Psychedelic Rock Box" (Music Brokers MBB7253), published in 2018 in Mexico, is a 6CDs compilation with 66 tracks from the Sixties to the Eighties, documenting some original USA and UK bands (The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, The Deviants, John's Children, Spencer Davis Group...) and more recent ones (Plasticland, Fuzztones, Sun Dial, Monochrome Set...).

Even if the concept of "psychedelic music" is always quite vague and few definite, and this compilation suffers of too much omissions, Our Holy Band is here included with "Behind The Pyramids".

 

The third one, in my opinion the best, it's titled "Lullabies for Catatonics: A Journey Through the British Avant-Pop/Art Rock Scene 1967-1974" (Grapefruit Records CRSEGBOX056), compiled and annoted by David Wells. 

It's a 3CDs box edited in 2019 including some of my favourite bands/musicians of the era: Soft Machine, Matching Mole, Nirvana, Ron Geesin, Giles, Giles & Fripp, The Strawbs...). On the CD titled "The Spontaneous Underground", the Third Ear Band plays "Druid One".

 

 

After the passage of copyrights to Cherry Red Records, some tracks from the original Harvest catalogue are re-emerging on compilations. An important way for letting people to know the Thirds and maybe explore their amazing story...
