Finally Out of Dark Shadows



so a while back i heard that the German World In Sound label were finally going to do what's needed doing for years - a reissue of the Cold Sun recordings, probably the greatest (semi) lost psych band of all time. if ya dunno these cats, read here (review about mid page) and here. really amazing stuff - if i wanted to use a stupid metaphor, i would say they're like a teenaged early Elevators as played by a more-competent Index, but still with that same beautifully-sublime-naivety vibe. the World In Sound site claims a prospective release date of May 2008, for CD and vinyl, and with 2 bonus tracks! Very exciting. 2007 finally saw the reissue of both of the Bobb Trimble records, and now Cold Sun in 2008. let's hope 2009 and beyond sees more people doing the lord's work, and we get readily-available reissues of the Index 1st LP, Dave Bixby LP, and more...(no links for those, future posts maybe?).
