VOOM DUNG-A-LOO – US Underground Rock 1967-1971

 


VOOM DUNG-A-LOO – US Underground Rock 1967-1971

THE GREEN ACCUM ROOGALATOR IS TRAVELING BY SPORE AGAIN

 

Okay, here is a double album, fold out sleeve, titles inside, graphics outside. I guess you’ll manage.

I loved the music every single second, I hope so do you.

Well, folks, I’ve had my musical education in the 60s – starting somewhere 1963/64, and when I grew out of the Sweet Little Sixteens and the Paint It Blacks, I headed straight for Underground music. Here’s a slice of it. Made in the USA, when it was still a country in which different opinions could be freely expressed. They thought it was bad then, but didn’t know that it would be 20 times worse in 2025.

This is an anti-war compilation and it’s promoting translove energies and freedom of mind. Think for yourself, don’t let yourself be manipulated. Keep your mind open!

UK UNDERGROUND 1971 – 1976 vol. 4

 

 

LOWER THAN THE SURFACE

 UNDERGROUND ROCK IN THE UK 1971 - 1976 cuatro

 

There’s plenty of UK Underground Rock bands that spring to mind. Here’s another batch of them.  

 The UK Underground scene was something special, many bands that took the music in unforessen directions. I loved way back then.

 I just couldn’t limit it to UK UNDERGROUND 1971 – 1976 vols. 1, 2, 3. So here’s vol. 4 and maybe vol. 5 will follow in due time.

Enjoy what you are hearing, and maybe, if you don’t know a band, check it out on the internet. They might have a story to tell.
