LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Springing from the underbelly of the Los Angeles garage scene, the Seeds were punk rock before the world had ever heard of a tribe called Ramone. Staying mostly to the ‘primitive rock’ side of the great hippie divide, they released their debut album in 1966, followed by Web Of Sounds that same year. The band did eventually succumb to the inebriating stench of flower power, but that ultimately proved to be their demise, unravelling in the face of the dawning of a darker era. Includes their second hit single “Mr.Farmer” and the raucous “Rollin’ Machine”.
