Comment:

No plan of action, just let the mix guide itself this afternoon and see what resulted. Since I used a cover version of The Spiders in a previous mix, I dug out original which as previously mentioned is early Alice Cooper not the Japanese Spiders.

Looks worthy as usual. Love your vintage Cheap Trick pick and any band called the Baby Grandmothers must be good. BTW, got your mix today. Am working on getting a little stash in the mail for ya soon.

Excellent. Great picks all the way around, as usual. I especially dig The Vond Bondies and the Warlocks picks.

Completely behind Ion on this one; I'm keeping my eyes peeled for anything by that band. Nice stuff, adventures in Cassettaland, indeed.

Nice to see "Follow The Leader" in there. A track I have a sneaking regard for, though buggered if I can work out where to put it into a mix of my own...

The Baby Grandmothers were from Sweden in the sixites and were an out growth of the T-Boones. It's a healthy mutated slice of Blue Cheer inspired sludge. Perhaps our Swedish pals have more insight?

Nice trifecta with Nazz into Cheap Trick into the Move - three bands of the same head without sounding like each other. And nice call on the Burma!

I don't know that much about Baby Grandmothers but I think it was Kenny Hakansson first band, later in Mecki mark men, Kebnekaise and Dag vag. They released one single "Being is more than life".
They were houseband at the legendary swedish psychedelic club Filips Stockholm and the winter of 67 they did a short tour with Jimi Hendrix. 68. Jamming with members from "Mothers of invention" at Filips. BTW cool mix as usual

Very nice, especially the Alice, Nazz, Beefheart, Move and SAHB picks. So Kenny Hakansson actualy played in Dag Vag. I had no idea!

Great stuff here! I was thinking the exact same thing Different kitchen put down.., that section of Nazz, Cheap Trick, Move...of course the section 10-13 following makes perfect sense to me as well...ah, and a Dictator, too.....hey, ya' gotta' watch them crazy anteaters (or is that a coati mundi?), they'll take over the turntables every time!

Heavy! Looks like we're sharing some psychic soundwaves once again. I'll be posting something similar using the same mixing MO later tonight. Where did you score the early Alice from?

The Spiders I scored from the fine folks at Sundazed records.
