The Children - Rebirth (1968)
Long overdue reissue of the brilliant 1968 (and only) album by the Texas psych band featuring the female vocals talents of Cassell Web. Along with albums by The Comfortable Chair, Sapphire Thinkers and Peanut Butter Conspiracy, Rebirth is one of the best melodic soft acid psych/rock albums of the '60's. Beautifully produced it's lush, captivating multi-layered West Coast styled psych with male and female vocals, harpsichord, various effects, orchestration and biting fuzz guitar. This fantastic package includes all the singles by related Texas garage bands and nine previously unreleased cuts. With a detailed booklet packed with photos it's a must have for any serious psych collection.
