Grass & Wild Strawberries by Collectors (The) (CD, Mar-2005, Collectors' Choice Music)

This record was the follow-up to the almost-unknown, eponymous initial album by The Collectors. Both are products of the psychedelic era, the initial album being much more "trippy", with the full-side "What Love" suite. It also had the slightly less-unknown "Lydia Purple."

The Collectors were a Canadian group. Grass and Wild Strawberries was a collaboration with another Canadian, George Ryga. It was intended to be the soundtrack for his play of the same name. I have the actual LP from back then, and haven't gotten tired of it yet. I'm pleased to see this is finally out on CD after being unavailable for decades.

Semi-unknown and allegedly true fact: The Collectors were the musicians on the Electric Prune's instrumentals "Mass in F Minor" and "Release of an Oath." They're great musicians, but I think it's too much to hope for a reunion!
