ABC Does 60's & 70's Music

This isn't new but I was just listening to it this morning and I wanted to share something, so if you haven't got this already I definitely recommend taking advantage of the free download below...

FREE MIXTAPE: Alphabethead - Music from the 1960's & 70's



Hello everybody,

Much to my delight my beaten up old ’93 Toyota Corrina has a tape deck! To me my automobile has always been seen as a walkman, with additional combustion engine. I periodically make mixtapes for my car, usually following dubious themes such as film music, 80’s Hip Hop, Kabuki/Gamelan/ethnic and dollar bin soul. ‘Dollar bin’ meaning really common $1 records... These mixes are really just a fun way of condensing my abundance of decrepit records down for listening purposes.

I’m pleased to offer one of these older mixtapes for download. It is of rather sentimental value to me as it was the sole cassette to survive an unfortunate and rather serious slip-up I had driving a car in 2008 (read: car crash). The mix is simply ‘Music from the 1960’s and 70’s’. It was the soundtrack to many a road trip and catalyst for numerous passenger sing-along’s. It’s also quite mellow in nature so makes for good anti-road rage music. I now use Marvin Gayes ‘What’s Going On?’ to quell any anger behind the wheel. It’s hard for my blood to boil whilst ‘Brother, brother, brother, there’s far too many of you dying’ is sung is such a sweet voice.

The mix is mostly pop, with a touch of folk and psych rock. Some of my most beloved songs from that era are featured; namely Jefferson Airplanes ‘Crown of Creation’, Beach Boys ‘In My Room’ and McDonald & Giles ‘Flight Of The Ibis’. Also rare Kiwi psychedelic rock bands Human Instinct and Quincy Conserve are featured. Human Instinct do a droll (but, with searing guitar solo) cover of The Kink’s ‘You Really Got Me’ to great effect!

Please check it out – hope you enjoy. You might even discover your new favourite ‘old’ band! Also available as a second generation cassette dub.
