This traces the development of this L.A. group from their folk rock roots as the Ashes in 1965, through to 1967. This consists largely of unissued songs cut for their publishing company and other demos. This also features rare tracks cut for their first label, Vault, that were originally released as singles and album cuts, but have never been reissued before. These include tunes from their first incarnation as the Ashes, when the band's drummer was Spencer Dryden, later with Jefferson Airplane, and provide a fascinating glimpse at the folk rock roots of the band. Compiled with the full cooperation of the band and features an in-depth history as well as fully illustrated book with rare pix and memorabilia. (Previously deleted:12/1/17.
