Digitally remastered edition of this essential Psych Pop classic. A few years before they took that one toke over the line, Brewer & Shipley were hard working staff songwriters for A&M Records publishing subsidiary, Good Sam Music. The duo soon secured a recording contract with A&M, and their debut LP, Down In L.A., was issued in October 1968. Sounding like a hybrid of the Psychedelic Country Rock of Sweetheart Of The Rodeo-era Byrds, and the studio experimentation of Curt Boettcher s Millennium/Sagittarius projects, Coproduced by Jerry Riopelle (Phil Spector, The Parade, Beau Brummels), Down In L.A. showcases the talents of many Wrecking Crew members, including Leon Russell, Hal Blaine, Jim Messina, and Jim Gordon. The 16-page, full-color booklet includes rare, unpublished photos and extensive liner notes featuring the participation of Michael Brewer and Tom Shipley, and original co-producer Jerry Riopelle. Now Sounds.

Sure, 'Tarkio' has the hit 'One Toke over the Line', but don't stop there–these two albums by Mike Brewer and Tom Shipley rank high on the West Coast folk 'n' country-rock pantheon with the New Riders' and Beau Brummels' best. 'Weeds', in fact, may even be a better album than 'Tarkio', as it features production by Nick Gravenites and guitar by Mike Bloomfield–it's the Electric Flag as backing band! 'Tarkio', meanwhile, has pedal steel from Jerry Garcia and such a late-'60s California vibe that you just might get a contact high. We're reissuing these albums together with original art and new notes–a 'Collectors' Choice Music' exclusive!
