The Lemon Drops - Crystal Pure: The Definitive Collection (1968 us psychedelic and garage psych - MP3 320K and Wave audio format)

Combines the contents of both LPs issued on the Cicadelic label in the mid-'80s (Crystal Pure and Second Album) onto one CD, making this indeed the definitive collection.

Almost all of their known tapes, covering both their searing electric garage/psych and softer, acoustic garage/folk sides.

Dating from 1967 and 1968, this features a lot of original material that the band recorded in Chicago studios, as well as some drummerless home demos.

These are endearing (and still moving) relics of an age of great exuberance, innocence, and hope.

Good harmonies on the psychedelic ballads, which have been described as "garage-band Donovan." One of the best reissues of unknown '60s garage/psychedelic music (by Richie Unterberger).
