Been quite some time since I have had any time to give serious attention to music and reviews for this blog. Also in the meantime my Blogging buddy over at Rare MP3 has been flat out posting heaps of Rare and interesting music and I had to have a serious catchup on the downloading front to get up to date.This compilation of what was suppose to be the excellent Sons Of Champlin's debut album(but didn't get released until much later) was recorded in 1966/67 and includes their single "Sing Me A Rainbow/Fat City" and I was excited to see this turn up at Rare MP3 as these guys are defiantly near the top of the second tier of San Francisco Bay Area bands from the late 60s. A great mix of soulful, jazz influenced, psychedelic tinged beat music from these dudes is a pleasure to the ears. Stand out track is "Fat City", which was the song that turned me onto them from the totally brilliant "Nuggets-Love Is The Song We Sing" Box set. Most of the tracks are of excellent quality and even the audition tracks are of good sound quality. There are one or two slower numbers that don't do much for me, the vocal effects on "1000 Miles From Nowhere" are a bit lame and the vocals on "Pillow" are just awful. But Slow burning jazzy numbers like "Too Me" and the uptempo beat numbers like "Don't Stop" are much more fun .With bits of fuzz guitar, organ and brass included on many of the songs, there is plenty to keep it all interesting. My Rating for this is gonna be 3.5/5.
