Bliss - Return To Bliss (1969 Arizona) | Void Records | Heavy Psych | Vinyl Stream

For today's psychedelic trip this morning I'm spinning the 2007 Void Records vinyl pressing of Return To Bliss by Bliss - the band's completely unreleased second album, recorded during the same 1969 sessions as their self-titled debut on Canyon Records. Producer Hadley Murrell - the first Black disc jockey in Arizona - produced all eight tracks here just as he did the debut. This material sat in a box for decades before Brian Hulitt at Void Records tracked down the band, paid them properly, and gave it a proper release. That's worth saying twice. Brian at Void has spent thirty years doing this the right way - working directly with original band members, sourcing from master tapes, and making sure musicians get paid. No bootlegs, no shortcuts. Return To Bliss is a first issue, not a reissue - this music never came out until Void put it out. That's the label doing exactly what it exists to do. The music is raw Arizona power trio psych-blues. Brad Reed on guitar, Rusty Martin on bass, Corky Aldred on drums. "Hippies, Cops And A Bunch Of Rocks" and "Music Train" are the peaks but the whole thing holds up. "Fear Of Fears" on side A is darker and heavier than anything on the debut. Full album, both sides. Come hang.
