    Most people think the Beastie Boys were just obnoxious rappers, but they had a huge amount of musical talent. This album has most of the best stuff (IMO) from Check Your Head and Ill Communication. They actually played all the instruments for these. I prefer the original mixes from the albums on a couple of them, but this is a great reference album.

    The Bleu Forest

    Garage/psych band formed in 1966 in Ventura County, California.
    Members were Ron Barkley (lead guitar, vocals), Jack Caviness (drums), Mike Cullen (guitar, vocals), Gary Heuer (lead guitar, vocals), Ed Steele (drums, vocals), and Larry Wiseman (keyboards).

    "USA produced such a vast variety of garage bands, that were highly influenced by major known bands of the time like Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix & The Experience and The Grateful Dead. Every little town in the US has been over-flooded with teenagers full of enthusiasm and ideas reflecting the electrifying times, when everything suddenly seemed to be possible. One of the better local bands, that came and went with the '60s fading into plastic '70s were Ventura County’ Bleu Forest. So far only a handful of people heard these 1968 unreleased recordings, which were hidden in Caviness (only surviving member) basement and let me say this: What we have here is a lost psych-garage classic. A crossover between groovy melodies of Moby Grape mixed with Steppenwolf heaviness." -Discogs

    It's funny how much great music was recorded with two Mics!
    I hear garage rock w/ a hint of Byrds/Beatles

    I've been listening to the "The mix-up" also. Both are great but I love the studio sounds of the In sounds more.
