      Get Ready To Fly" is Big Beat's second volume of rarely-heard 1960s masters from the vaults of the legendary Norman Petty studios. This time the focus is on the mindbending rock and pop sounds the producer recorded during the late 1960s.
      * Petty was the first to admit he had little taste for psychedelia, but his exceptional abilities as an engineer allowed the producer to sonically indulge the young bands who visited the studios to the fullest. The results were some of the spaciest sounds to emanate from an American studio in that era, a fascinating potpourri of raging fuzztone, swirling organ and Anglophile harmonies.

      * Several of the items on "Get Ready To Fly" are acknowledged pop-psych classics, such as the Apple-Glass Cyndrum's `Someday', `To Give Your Lovin'' by the Happy Return and the Hooterville Trolley's `No Silver Bird', but extensive research into the Petty archives has resulted in a tremendous programme of obscure classics and never-before-heard gems. The artists represented journeyed from such disparate locales as Utah, Montana, Mississippi, Texas, Colorado, Missouri and Canada to record with Petty in Clovis, New Mexico.

      * With unprecedented access to the original master tapes, the sound quality on "Get Ready To Fly" is second to none, and the accompanying booklet is packed with information on this little-documented episode in Norman Petty's career, with the full participation of many of the former band members.



      This is Big Beat’s second volume of rarely-heard 1960s masters from the vaults of the legendary Norman Petty studios. This time the focus is on the mindbending rock and pop sounds the producer recorded during the late 1960s. Of the various bands that passed though Petty's studios during the mid '60's, many of them were interested in the English style of psychedelia, something the producer wasn't keen on at all but his professional recordings and expansive productions created some terrific results. Some of the tracks here are certified pop psych classic, Apple-Glass Cyndrum’s "Someday", "To Give Your Lovin" by the Happy Return and the Hooterville Trolley’s "No Silver Bird." the real focus however is on the obscure and the unheard: The Butter Rebellion, Group Axis, Frantics, The Cords, Happy Return and more.Fully detailed booklet.
