Who Knew?
I guess my friend Mike has known for a long time. He spent 10 years tracking down the history and artifacts of Colorado psyche/garage music in the 60s. He can break down the science on not only the bands and the records, but also on the clubs and recording studios. He really knows his sh*t. Gear Fab records reached to him out and put together a compilation called Psychedelic States: Colorado in the 60s (couldn't find an image of the cover).
Even at 50 tracks deep, the quality never slips. I had no idea anything this good/freaky could come out of Denver, Greeley, Pueblo, Colorado Springs, and Manitou Springs (Say what?). Needless to say, Mike has done his homework.
Here are 2 of my favorites:
Enjoy.

I lived in Denver in the 60s and went to the Quicksilver/Superband show on the poster. The Family Dog only lasted about 10 months but was an amazing experience. I saw Blue Cheer, Big Brother, Canned Heat, The Doors (on New Years Eve) etc etc.
I'll definitely be on the look-out for this album, thanks.
