Description
Vinyl compilation of this mysterious British guitarist (real name Pete Miller) who cut some oddball non-hits in the '60s that have amassed quite a reputation among psychedelic collectors. One side features his best 60s stuff and the other seven unreleased gems from the 70s-ranging from wild and fuzzy garage to psych pop and freaky country-rock! Includes a psychedelic color inner cover with lyrics and text. Like an English Kim Fowley produced by Joe Meek or a one-man Barrett era Pink Floyd, Big Boy Pete is the unsung hero of the sixties!
He cut some oddball non-hits in the '60s like "Baby I Got News for You," a Troggsish number with wads of fuzzy guitar, backed by Peter Frampton and members of the Herd, or "Cold Turkey" with its eerie blasts of spaceship-elevator psychedelic guitars and biting mod-psych vocals, later covered by the Damned (under the guise of Naz Nomad & the Nightmares), before relocating to San Francisco to work as a producer and engineer, occasionally releasing albums on tiny labels.
Comes with printed inner sleeve with track lyrics, biography and credits.
