Seeds were LA. Mid '60s LA deep. Mid '60's LA band that Sgt. Joe Friday would have pointed to as the problem of youth. He was probably right.

Seeds were seminal garage punk that thrilled the world. Or at least the teenagers that danced and sang to the pounding beat and lyrics that were angry/anxious, and eager.

Seeds were Skye Saxon and the band behind his genious of writing a classic song and doing it over and over again.

"Pushin' Too Hard" is best heard as a 45 on the radio. It may the perfect example of the times. "Can't Seem to Make You Mine", the ballad, a bottom feeder top 100000000 is now used as TV commercial. How much do ya bet any money goes to Skye?

Skye Saxon nust have felt so too, because he re-wrote that melody over and over again.

Seeds had a nice run for a few months late 1966 and early 1967.
This CD is fun for those who want to explore the times.
Or those who recall "Up in Her Room" the 14 minute weirdness that even Jim Morrison shook his head at.

I wanted the cd for one song that i liked but it turned out thati like the whole cd. I also like amazon.com for its great service.

Like their music in general; they are under recognized. "Pushin Too Hard"
is one of my all-time Hard-Rock favorites.

The Seeds were nothing short of a phenomenon here in Southern California during 1966-7. Sold out concerts (including a headlining gig at the Hollywood Bowl), screaming fans, and tons of radio play. Even "Tripmaker", a pulsating, percolating track from their second LP, "A Web of Sound", got airplay; their record company would have been wise to release it as a single. This CD contains the entire first and second Seeds LPs, and, as such, is one of the best "2 LPs on one CD" bargains around. Sound quality is excellent, too.

The Seeds were a legendary "flower punk" band in the 1960s. "Flower punk" is a term that was coined especially for the Seeds, to describe their music, which is a combination of garage band and psychedelic. The band is best known for their one real hit, the all-time classic "Pushin' Too Hard". This CD features the band first two albums, The Seeds and A Web of Sound. The first album features "Pushin' Too Hard", plus the great songs "Can't Seem to Make You Mine" and "Try to Understand". The rest of the material is uneven. The best song on the second album (A Web of Sound) is "Mr. Farmer". Again, the rest of the album is pretty uneven. The second most noteworthy song is the 14 and a half minute long "Up in Her Room", which was the longest rock song ever recorded at the time. This epic ode to making love is actually the second best thing on the album, surprisingly never getting boring. Three stars for this CD, overall.
