AGES & SEASONS compiles 2 albums by Magna Carta; SEASONS (1970), and LORD OF AGES (1973).
Ages and Seasons is, as the title might imply, a more or less straightforward reissue of all four of this most beloved group's original albums: 1970's Seasons, 1971's Songs from Wastie's Orchard, 1973's Lord of the Ages, and 1974's Martin's Cafe, all of which originally appeared on the Vertigo label (and are thus highly sought-after for that reason alone). Spread over two CDs, it's a remarkably economical way of catching some of the early-'70s British prog-folk movement's most inspired music -- the first two albums, in particular, are landmarks of the genre and, if the second disc's recounting of Magna Carta's later work drops the ball occasionally, then that only amplifies the beauty of the earlier material. Missing from the collection are the group's self-titled debut album and 1972's tremendous In Concert live set; nevertheless, all essential Magna Carta is here, and the budget pricing will save you an absolute fortune on the collectors' market. ~ Dave Thompson

Ages & Seasons album
 $11.99   
Digitally remastered by Jim Phillips (Universal Mastering Studios West, North Hollywood, California).
Although it omits three songs from the far less comprehensive (and deleted) 1983 12-track Best Of, and doesn't include any live or post-A&M music, this 2000 release stands as the final word on the Ozark Mountain Daredevils' career. Cherry-picking 21 tunes from their five studio album stint circa 1974-1978 -- with the lion's share coming from their first ...

| | Mark Erelli CD (1999)
Ages & Seasons album
$13.99
East Coast folk singer/songwriter Mark Erelli makes a striking debut on his 1999 self-titled album. With a pedigreed backing band that includes guitarist Kevin Barry (who has worked with Paula Cole) and bassist Jim Lamond (Susan Tedeschi's bassist), Erelli's evocative songwriting and singing on tracks like "Do It Everyday" and "Northern Star" make Mark Erelli a fine introduction to a new talent. ~ Heather Phares
Mark's debut was released in 1999, after he was discovered at 3 am in a hotel room showcase during a music conference. From the roots-rock opener "Do It Everyday" to the anthemic closer "Northern ...
| | Pretty Things Psychedelic Years 1966-70 CDs (2002)
Ages & Seasons CD music
$11.95
After a few years of outdoing the Rolling Stones at their own game, Messrs. May and Co., clearly affected by their love of swinging London nightlife and all that went with it, injected their primal R&B roots with added spice (as Mike Stax, "numero uno Los Pretty Things fan," points out in his excellent liner notes). "Can't Stand the Pain" (from the 1965 Get The Picture album) has "a remarkably effective mood with a sense of a dreamy disembodiment that foreshadows what was yet to come with the arrival of psychedelia." By April 1966, B-side "LSD," yet another controversial shot in the Pretty Things' canon, helped pioneer the "freakbeat" sound, whilst the media's attacks on the Pretties slack, druggy values were foremost to the changing times -- in fact, the record was a play on words about the English economy and not a celebration of the merits of LSD usage. However, the band was clearly well-aware of LSD and its effects, and over the coming months further musical explorations that were to steer the band away from their earlier tough R&B sound were to occur. After the rather well-thought inclusion of these two late 1965 and early 1966 tracks, the rest of this double CD focuses on output that was recorded across the 1967 to 1970 psychedelic era. Cuts from the much maligned Emotions album, released in May 1967, take on a new edge when singled out from the album's far from psychedelic brassy pop numbers. The visceral "There Will Never Be Another Day" chronicles an LSD trip, whilst "The Sun" and "Growing in My Mind" show a far more introspective side well suited to the floral times. A primer for this set is an earlier take of "Children," which crackles with raga guitar in an altogether less commercial manner than the album version. Although somewhat of an albatross around the band's neck, when intermingled with their psychedelically charged later material, the chosen cuts from Emotions certainly indicate the direction they were intending to take. The pre-S.F. Sorrow November 1967 single "Defecting Grey" was the pinnacle of not only the Pretty Things' experimentation with psychedelia, but one of the finest examples of British psychedelia. A cacophony of fuzz guitar, trippy lyrics, fairground organ, and sitar, with numerous twists and turns in tempo, mood, and thematics. Like an acid trip, "Defecting Grey" was a rollercoaster ...
