One of many high quality Warner Bros./Reprise pop/rock compilations issued in US late sixties to early seventies. For more on those also check posts on "The 1969 Warner/Reprise Record Show" and "The Days Of Wine And Vinyl". Here's another good one. First thought the title "Alternatives" was for alternative takes, but it's not quite that exciting - just a way to tag a collection that don't carry the most obvious hits. Well maybe not all that hit-like back then, but listening with today's ears you will get a couple of classics - Jimi Hendrix "Purple Haze" and Joni Mitchell "Woodstock" the most obvious. And there are also many gems from the artists now more shaded songbooks - Neil Young/Crazy Horse "Cinnamon Girl", Jethro Tull "Reasons For Waiting", (Small)Faces "Around The Plynth", Zappa/Mothers "Directly From My Heart" and Graham Bond "Neighbour Neighbour" - to mention my favorites. Audio shifts a little, but most of it superb, all in true stereo. Very good listening all through and highly recommended if you wanna take home and enjoy fourteen great originals without paying a fortune. To my knowledge this US was the only issue. It came with label as shown here and glossy fold/out cover with pics and info on all the involved. (YZÄ*) (SÄM*) (LÖZZ*)
