The Bitter Seeds were one of the pioneering bands from the early Monterey music scene. Led by flashy guitar player Leonard "Pooch" Paschini, they were active from 1966 to 1970, gigging regularly at such legendary venues as Bull's Eye Tavern, Longshoremen's Hall, The Matrix, and The Fillmore and sharing stages with the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Iron Butterfly, and Steppenwolf. In 1967, The Bitter Seeds recorded their only 45, issued on Rowena Records as The Rock Shop to avoid confusion with The Seeds. State of Your Mind/Is That Your Halo is a brutal garage-psych double-sider. The following year the group recorded four studio tracks that have remained unreleased until now. These are perfect examples of the transition from R&B-garage to early psychedelic sounds that many San Francisco ballroom bands experienced at the time. An exciting find for any lover of lost West Coast psychedelic sounds. For this Bitter Seeds/Rock Shop retrospective, Out-Sider has also unearthed some wild live recordings from 1966 with good sound quality. Includes four-page insert with liner notes, photos, and memorabilia. Remastered sound.  

- Out-Sider presents a retrospective on pioneering '60s San Francisco garage psych band The Bitter Seeds, who released their only 45 as The Rock Shop (to avoid confusion with The Seeds).
- Active from 1966 to 1970, the band gigged regularly at such legendary venues as Bull's Eye Tavern, Longshoremen's Hall, The Matrix, and The Fillmore and shared stages with the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Iron Butterfly, and Steppenwolf.
- Includes the band's only release, 1967's State of Your Mind/Is That Your Halo, four previously unreleased 1968 studio tracks, and three wild live recordings from 1966.
- Includes four-page insert with liner notes, photos, and memorabilia.
- Remastered sound.
- "'Is That Your Halo' is an intensely menacing punker that rumbles into Yardbirds' rave-up territory at the bridge where incendiary leads battle with rasping harmonica; 'State of Your Mind' is an almost equally powerful acid-punker -- truly a double-whammy of a 45." --Fuzz, Acid and Flowers
