Tracks list

Matthew Katz, manager for both the Jefferson Airplane and Moby Grape in their
early days, was behind the assembly (and co-producer of) this late-'60s
anthology of San Francisco rock acts. Only It's a Beautiful Day, represented by
two tracks, will be known to most fans; also on board are Tripsichord Music Box,
Indian Puddin' & Pipe, and Black Swan. It's run of the mill late-'60s Bay Area
psychedelia for the most part. None of the groups possess the strong material or
distinctive sounds that the likes of the Airplane and the Grape had (although
the influence of the Airplane is sometimes pervasive, particularly in It's a
Beautiful Day's vocal arrangements). At times, and particularly on the
Tripsichord Music Box tracks, you can hear the charm of the early San Francisco
sound starting to get subsumed by a lumbering heaviosity (especially in the
guitars). Indian Puddin' & Pipe and Black Swan take a lighter and folkier
approach than the other acts, and the two cuts by Black Swan ("Lady Blonde" and
"She Encircles Me") are actually the standouts. They have the engaging, trippy
melodies and vocal harmonies typical of much Haight-Ashbury rock, and a somewhat
poppier and brassier take on things than their peers on this LP, without
sounding like ordinary pop/rock.
