Years in the making, finally, the story of San Diego's early music scene can be told! And heard! From Rockabilly, R&B and Instrumentals, to Garage Rock, Psychedelia and beyond. 33 tracks from this Southern California coastal hub, spanning those embryonic, heady, sun-kissed & fab fueled times from 1958-1973. Never in the shadows of Los Angeles or San Francisco, the San Diego scene was doing it's own thing.
Compiled by musician and local music historian, Andy Rasmussen, who worked closely with many of the musicians and artists of the era to make this a truly one of a kind listening experience. Digipak CD includes 36 jam-packed pages of band bios, photos, and extensive liner notes by Mike Stax, and a foreword by Andy Rasmussen.
