Rls Notes

Founded in the late 1950s, Vanguard Records quickly established itself as a
stalwart
folk and blues label, issuing Joan Baez, Odetta, the Weavers, Charlie
Musselwhite,
Buddy Guy and the Newport Folk Festival recordings. Many of these successes were
unconventional, showcasing a daring A&R vision held by Sam Charters and Maynard
Solomon, amongst others. Yet, alongside the label's hits, these early
visionaries
signed, produced and released other challenging and genre-pushing records that
came and went without a whimper or a prayer.

Charters and Vanguard scouted the cutting edge (and at times the
cutting-cutting-
edge)
of music from the greatest counter-cultural scenes of 1960s America. From the
East
Village of New York to the Jabberwocky crazed-folk of Berkeley and the
auto-factory
clang and chop of Detroit, Vanguard schizophrenically strove to present to its
audience new sounds and new grooves. And while the wild experimentation of John
Fahey's ôRequiaö and the crazed jams of Country Joe are still beloved by
audiences
and readily available, those records present only a small part of the story.

This compilation marks the first time the Vanguard label has gone through its
archives
to hand-select tracks from their best ôlostö records and 45s. Many of the bands
featured here only released one record, or a smattering of singles, before
drifting
into obscurity, although many of the artists went on to greater fame after their
stint at Vanguard was done. And while they are stylistically varied, there lies
a
common thread of musical proficiency and integrity that represents the trademark
of quality Vanguard strived to upholdàno matter how bombastic, fuzz-soaked or
outer-worldly the music may have seemed.

Ultimately, this record isn't about digging for ôNuggetsö or ôPebblesö, but
rather
about mining gems from the Vanguard vaults. I invite you to ôFollow Me Downö and
discover the treasures that have emerged from the excavation. I assure you that
you won't be disappointed.
