Spaced Out: Story Of Mushroom Records / Various Spaced Out: Story Of Mushroom Records / Various CD

2017 two CD collection. Mushroom Records was founded in London's Chalk Farm district in 1970 by producer Vic Keary, an experienced industry veteran who'd spent most of the 1960s working as Maximum Sound Productions. Over the course of three years, Mushroom issued a dizzying variety of records, embracing a broad range of music styles from Prog Rock (Second Hand, Chillum) to singer-songwriters (Simon Finn, Andreas Thomopoulos), traditional folk (Callinan-Flynn, The Liverpool Fishermen), Indian music (Pandit Kanwar Sain Trikha, Nitai Dasgupta), avant garde jazz (Lol Coxhill) and world music (Les Flambeaux). And in Magic Carpet, Mushroom hosted a group who reflected most of the above genres on one album. Spaced Out is the first-ever compilation to tell the story of Mushroom from it's roots in the psychedelic era and it's evolution across the early 1970s. With a foreword and involvement from label boss Vic Keary, this set reveals how Mushroom epitomized the excitement and diversity of the progressive era.
