Big Beat’s Seeds campaign wraps up with a definitive anthology of their entire run of singles from 1965 to 1970, a collection that includes some of the band’s best-known material including ‘Can’t Seem To Make You Mine’, ‘Mr Farmer’ and their lone Top 40 hit, the garage rock touchstone that is ‘Pushin’ Too Hard’.
Singles such as ‘Satisfy You’, ‘The Wind Blows Your Hair’ and ‘Bad Part Of Town’ have become as equally renowned in the years since. And Seeds’ B-sides are almost as popular – tracks such as ‘Out Of The Question’, ‘The Other Place’ and ‘Wild Blood’ are all fan favourites.
This exhaustive collection is drawn from the original singles masters, which in most cases have never been available since their first issue; most cuts feature unique mixes and different edits.
After leaving the GNP Crescendo label in 1969, the Seeds moved to MGM for two swansong 45s, both included here, never before on CD. Bonus tracks are ‘Excuse Excuse’ with a different vocal, issued on a French EP, and the original, unedited version of ‘Pushin’ Too Hard’.
In keeping with our deluxe reissues of the Seeds regular albums, Singles As & Bs 1965-1970 is presented in a digipak with an extensive and heavily illustrated booklet with full notes by Alec Palao.
