One of the label’s groundbreaking acts were The Golden Dawn, who only released this one album (and no singles) during their short recording career – they broke up soon after the album’s release. An acknowledged psych classic, Power Plant is now being re-issued as a limited edition deluxe digi-book.

The album features inspired acid-spiked folk rock guitars and intelligent psychedelic-inspired lyrics. The emotional range is remarkable for a debut album - from the searing acid punk of Evolution, through the classic pop-inflected psych of My Time into the brooding introspection of Reaching Out To You.

The accompanying 16-page illustrated booklet includes an insightful interview with the group’s leader and driving force, George Kinney, in which he gives an unique track-by-track run-down of the album’s songs.

The Bubble Puppy enjoyed a degree of commercial success with their distinct high-energy, hippy rock-pop sound and look. Formed in San Antonio in 1967, their first 45 waxing, the brilliant Hendrix-inspired ‘Hot Smoke & Sassafras’, combined hard rock with fresh vocal harmonies and reached #14 in the U.S. charts in March 1969.

The resultant album from that year, ‘A Gathering Of Promises’, featured more of the same raw, garage-psych sound and was equally strong. Somewhat removed from the deep acid psych of the Elevator’s Easter Everywhere or The Golden Dawn’s ‘Power Plant IA albums’, it is highly enjoyable album and stands as one of the International Artists' most refined rock efforts.

This edition of the album includes both sides of the group’s four singles as bonus tracks, four of which were not on the original album, whilst two of the other sides were different mixes to the album versions.

This 3 CD set collects classic tracks from International Artists’ flagship acts like The 13th Floor Elevators, The Red Crayola, The Bubble Puppy and Golden Dawn alongside a host of sought-after lesser known gems from the likes of Thursday’s Children, The Chaynes, The Rubayaat, Sterling Damon and The Shayds. Quite a number of these tracks are here making their cd debut, several not having seen the light of day since their first release forty years ago.
