NewsvineGeorge Petros has assembled a compilation of several hundred songs and put it online. What type of songs are they?
I was searching for druggy and/or exotic Pop songs reinterpreted by contemporaneous Easy Listening artists, from 1966 through 1971. A few compositions herein pre-date that era, but the performers presented them in the pseudo-psychedelic style of the day.
The list of songs available is extensive. You can either click the song title and listen to the track online, or if you’re really into it, just download the MP3 track. This is an odd compilation of music. It’s elevator psychedelia tunes.
Petros writes:
Over the course of 13 years I collected the tracks comprising this compilation. Most came from LPs and 8-Tracks that I found in thrift stores and at garage sales all across America. Some came from the LP collections of Joseph Lanza, author of Elevator Music; Steven Blush, author of American Hardcore; Athan Maroulis, proprietor of Stardust Records; and the illustrator Jim Blanchard. Some came from various Lounge-style CDs issued in the mid-90s.
