Marvin Gardens - 1968
A phenomonal anthology of rare demos, studio and live
recordings from late-60s, second-wave, San Francisco, Electric-Folk pioneers
Marvin Gardens. All live tracks recorded by Peter Abram (Velvet Underground The
Matrix Tapes) at the legendary Matrix Club in San Francisco. 1968 includes
virtually every note Marvin Gardens recorded, and provides a tantalizing
glimpse at a uniquely wonderful group. With a powerful female lead singer,
Carol Duke, on par with Janis Joplin and Grace Slick, and a versatile and
mesmerizing band that goes from playful folk to Latin-tinged jazz vamps to
searing, guitar-fuelled garage rave-ups, Marvin Gardens could have been a major
artist if the stars had been aligned.
“Had the Charlatans been joined by Country Joe’s keyboard player and fronted by an earthy female singer, they might’ve sounded like Marvin Gardens…”
