Strawberry Window
Strawberry Window
Strawberry Window hailed from the San Francisco Bay Area's East Bay music scene in the mid '60s and were truly one of
the "early birds" and innovators who made their own distinct brand of rock'n'roll. They played in a
heavy-psychedelic-garage style, sounding somewhat reminiscent of the Jefferson Airplane, (early) Mad River, Quicksilver
Messenger Service and Frumious Bandersnatch. These previously unreleased recordings have survived for the last four
decades in a box on a shelf in a band member's closet. Meticulous care and detail has been taken to master these
recordings with a fresh, open approach, while ensuring that the sound and integrity of the vintage songs remained
intact. The amazing music of this guitar based quartet ranges from catchy electric folk tunes and West coast garage rock
to raw energetic acid jams lasting over 10 minutes. You'll be impressed by the (stereo) sound quality throughout their
ten original cuts not to mention their freaky live version of J.D. Loudermilk's 'Tobacco Road.' It's an out right shame
that this talented bunch were not signed to a record deal back then. In 1968 they switched guitar players, added a girl
singer and changed their name to The Dandelion Wine and recorded several songs and also released a private pressing of a
4 song 7-inch EP. World In Sound presents for the first time ever, the music of and the history behind this talented
group of songwriters and wild performers known as the Strawberry Window. 65 minutes of intense but melodic performances
and also comes with a 16 page color booklet that will take you on a trip back to the halcyon days of the Summer of Love.
