Blurb

"Mushroom Records was founded in London's Chalk Farm district in 1970 by producer Vic Keary, an experienced industry veteran who'd spent most of the 1960s working as Maximum Sound Productions. Over the course of three years, Mushroom issued a dizzying variety of records, embracing a broad range of music styles from Prog-Rock (Second Hand, Chillum) to Singer-Songwriters (Simon Finn, Andreas Thomopoulos), Traditional Folk (Callinan-Flynn, The Liverpool Fishermen), Indian music (Pandit Kanwar Sain Trikha, Nitai Dasgupta), avant garde jazz (Lol Coxhill) and world music (Les Flambeaux). And in Magic Carpet, Mushroom hosted a group who reflected most of the above genres on one album. 'Spaced Out' is the first-ever compilation to tell the story of Mushroom from its roots in the psychedelic era and its evolution across the early 1970s. With a foreword and involvement from label boss Vic Keary, this double-CD set reveals how Mushroom epitomised the excitement and diversity of the progressive era. This is the ultimate tribute to this cult British label. . Artwork comes courtesy of noted designer Phil Smee, whose impressive collection of Mushroom Records ephemera is reproduced in the booklet. And the sleeve-notes by Grapefruit's own David Wells finally tell the story of this hitherto undocumented chapter from the underground scene".

Well worth a punt, I'm loving it.

Cool. I'm currently listening to the Esoteric reissue of Second Hand's weird and wonderful 'Death may Be Your Santa Claus' originally released on Mushroom. Simon Finn's 'Pass The Distance' is another favourite on that label.
