Artist:  Various Artists

Title:  21 Golden Gate Greats (Vol 2)

Date:  1969 (?)

Label:  Take 6 Inc.

Cover Art:   WT Vinson 

Notes:  This is a record produced by AM radio station KYA (1260) in San Francisco in the late 60's. The material ranges from 1963 thru 1969 and has some of the all-time great songs from the era. Bands like the Electric Prunes, the Seeds (from San Jose) and a great version of the Buffalo Springfield song Sit Down, I Think I Love You by the Mojo Men. And there's is ever so much more. That's right kiddies, the AM radio used to play real music and San Francisco wasn't the only place. Growing up in Scranton, Pa. I remember hearing these songs as a kid and talking with my friends about the bands we were going to form and the records we were going to record. Ah, the splendor of youth, but I digress. The cover art is a direct lift ofthe Big Brother, Cheap Thrills album with the appropriate changes made to suit this line up of material. A great flea market find.
