Marvin Gardens - Marvin Gardens 1968 (USA, Psychedelic-Folk Rock)

An anthology of rare demos, studio recordings, and live performances from the late '60s by San Francisco electro-folk pioneers Marvin Gardens. All live tracks were recorded by Peter Abram (Velvet Underground) at the legendary Matrix Club in San Francisco. Nearly every note of Marvin Gardens is meticulously preserved, featuring Carol Duke's powerful female vocals, as vibrant as those of Janis Joplin or Grace Slick. This music is versatile—from jazz-tinged Latin to garage rock. "If the Charlatans had joined Country Joe's keyboard player, they would have sounded like Marvin Gardens," say experts...
