With 26 tracks from 1966 and 1967, this CD acts as a comprehensive supplement to the Peanut Butter Conspiracy's more widely circulated recordings for Columbia and Challenge. While seven of these recordings found official release in 1966 and 1967 on the Vault label, the rest were previously unissued. Too, it has seven cuts (both released and unreleased) by the Ashes, the group from which the Peanut Butter Conspiracy evolved, though most of this material was done in the early days of the era in which they were going under the Peanut Butter Conspiracy billing. Because a lot of this was done in the group's formative days, much of it's a little (and sometimes a lot) more folk-rock-oriented than the more psychedelic output on their Columbia albums. That's particularly true of the sides done by the Ashes, with Spencer Dryden (just before his Jefferson Airplane days) on drums. Like the Peanut Butter Conspiracy's more widely known work, however, the music here is a second-division (though not downright second-rate) and sometimes derivative mixture of folk-rock, psychedelia, and California pop/rock, though often a bit rawer than their more familiar stuff. There are some nice tunes here, like the 1966 Ashes single "Is There Anything I Can Do," a lost folk-rock gem co-written by Jackie DeShannon; "Dark On You Now," another moody Ashes folk-rocker that the band would remake on the first Peanut Butter Conspiracy album; and "Free," which like some of their other more bittersweet tunes is a little reminiscent of the very early Jefferson Airplane with a heavier pop flavor. The 20-page booklet has Alec Palao's usual ace detective work on filling in the obscure history of the band, with lots of quotes from interviews with some of the members. ~ Richie Unterberger

This traces the development of this L.A. group from their folk rock roots as the Ashes in 1965, through to 1967. This consists largely of unissued songs cut for their publishing company and other demos. This also features rare tracks cut for their firstUncut (p.121) - 3 stars out of 5 - "Their music was characterised by the wholesome folk-rock harmonies of singer Sandi Robinson and John Merrill's guitar, only ever a twang away from country-rock."

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

3 stars For Fans of the Band
Obviously, I would recommend the 2 album compilation of the The Conspiracy is Spreading over this CD. However, the recording quality is still good and there are plenty of good moments. As a fan of PBC its a must have and 4 stars. This should complete your PBC collection and its definately better than anything that followed the first 2 albums as my girl Barbara is featured prominently.

5 stars Great insight into this great 60's group
After purchasing and liking the cd with both of their original Columbia lps I was sold on their great harmonies and the beautiful voice of Barbara Robison. I purchased this cd and was amazed at the greater understanding I achieved about this group - it showed their development and experimentation and how their performances were always right on even on rehearsal recordings. This is a great cd for '60's fans of psychedelic pop music and you will find it very interesting and satisfying.

Spreading From The Ashes CD music
CD $11.79  4.8 stars Audio Samples
The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band: Bob Markley, Ron Morgan, Shaun Harris. Digitally remastered by Bob Irwin (Sundazed Studio, Coxsackie, New York). The band's third album for Reprise has its advocates among psychedelic cultists, but it really is a letdown when stacked against their previous two Reprise LPs, even if those LPs (particularly the second) were haphazard in their psychedelic-pop-folk-rock admixtures. When they play it straight, the songs are often average or even unmemorable, easy-going late-1960s L.A. rock. When they are obviously trying to ...

The 1969 album from psychedlic rock duo Euphoria, this includes their "Suicide on the Hillside, Sunday Morning After Tea." This album -- which was "produced in Hollywood, Nashville and London by Messrs. Watt and Hamilton" (aka Hamilton Wesley Watt and William Lincoln) -- is today considered a cult classic among those who find themselves trekking across the West Coast rock tundra, circa 1969. Psychedelic country-rock, folk-rock, and bluegrass -- abetted by lushly downcast orchestral arrangements and the occasional sound effect -- are combined here in a heady and confident manner. The opening ...
