Product Description

Digitally remastered collection featuring a pair of albums from the Bubblegum Pop star: It's Now Winter's Day and Phantasy (both released in 1967). Coming off a formidable run of hits, Roe was able to enter the studio with Millenium wunderkind Curt Boettcher and his team (later to become both the Ballroom and Goldenrod) to record these albums. Bizarrely sounding more like group efforts than solo albums, replete with theremins, fuzz guitar, strings and general psych bendiness, not to mention being entirely composed by Roe, they were major triumphs. The follow-up PHANTASY upped the ante even further. Here we have both albums, together for the first time, a key piece in the story of the legendary Curt Boettcher and his associates, and a Californian sunshine psych-pop extravaganza in it's own right. Beautiful songs, great singing and innovative production... who could ask for anything more? Rev-Ola. 2008.
