Pues empezamos el año a toda mecha, con una colección que siempre me ha intrigado, pues había visto por ahí la lista de sus canciones y me parecía mas que interesante. Esta es Mind Blowers", de la que poco se sabe y que es muy difícil de conseguir, pues parece ser que es una colección no oficial, de la que se hicieron muy pocas copias, doscientas cincuenta y todas ellas numeradas.
Se trata de una colección de diecisiete volúmenes dedicado sobre todo al garage y la sicodelia norteamericana, aunque con inclusiones de otros estilos cercanos y otros países. Se basa mayoritariamente en raros singles, y algún tema, los menos, extraídos de algún Lp.
Tengo que añadir que solo tenía en mis archivos el volumen 1 del 83 y ante la imposibilidad de conseguir los otros, he optado por la fórmula de la reconstrucción, buscando tema por tema y tratando de poner la primera versión y con el máximo de calidad posible.
