・ DEEP WITHIN THE VANGUARD RECORDS VAULTS LIES A CURIOUS STORY FRAMED BY SOME OF THE CRAZIEST AND MOST MYSTERIOUS GREEN AND PURPLE PAISLEY’D ROCK MUSIC TO COME OUT OF THE MID-TO-LATE-SIXTIES.

・ FOLLOW ME DOWN: VANGUARD’S LOST PSYCHEDELIC ERA (1966-1970), CO-PRODUCED BY VANGUARD STAFFER STEPHEN BROWER AND BIRDMAN RECORDS FOUNDER DAVID KATZNELSON, IS A DOUBLE GATEFOLD, 18 TRACK VINYL COMPILATION THAT ENCOMPASSES HAND-SELECTED TRACKS FROM VANGUARD’S BEST “LOST” RECORDS AND 45’S. MANY OF THE BANDS FEATURED HERE ONLY RELEASED ONE RECORD, OR A SMATTERING OF SINGLES, BEFORE DRIFTING INTO OBSCURITY, THOUGH MANY OF THE ARTISTS WENT ON TO GREATER FAME AFTER THEIR STINT AT VANGUARD WAS DONE. AND WHILE THEY ARE STYLISTICALLY VARIED, THERE LIES A COMMON THREAD OF MUSICAL PROFICIENCY AND INTEGRITY THAT REPRESENTS THE TRADEMARK OF QUALITY VANGUARD STRIVED (AND STILL STRIVES) TO UPHOLD...NO MATTER HOW BOMBASTIC, FUZZ-SOAKED OR OUTER-WORLDLY THE MUSIC MAY HAVE SEEMED.
