The Other Half
Monster A Go-Go (Teen Trash From Psychedelic Tokyio '66-'69)
Sought-after compilation exploring the Group Sound movement that swept Japan in the mid 1960s. Under the influence of the Beatles dozens of Japanese bands devoted themselves to exporting a wide genre that ranged from surf-rock, garage fuzz, psych and wild R&B. Featuring the influential The Mops, the Filipino band (relocated to Hong Kong) D’Swooners and The Golden Cups.
The Other Half
Reissue of the Californian psychedelic band's only album released on Acta Records in 1968. Their sound was influenced by early Rolling Stones and Yardbirds (not coincidentally, guitarist Randy Holden, later on also in Blue Cheer, was offered to replace Jeff Beck). Their name gained attention after their single ‘Mr. Pharmacist’ was included in the famous Nuggets collection.
