  • Hippy, trippy, far-out folkie, maaan.

    Superb value, five 'records' for the price of one and all the better if you like the ISB. They are possibly an acquired taste for most, far out and folkie, but the musicianship is ace and it's possible to pick out their influence and sounds that have trickled down the ages. Personally, I think I like the first three albums in this collection most of all, but 1966 to 68 were vintage years I think, but I've now got the two less loved albums without further expense.

  • The Incredible String Band - their best work IMHO

    Five CDs for the price of one. What's not to like? 5000 Spirits - every song is brilliant. And there are many gems in the other 4 albums too. They were incredibly creative, and their songs make me laugh and sometimes make me cry because they are so beautiful. They were the real deal flower-power people of the hippie generation. I grew up in the sixties and fell in love with their songs in the seventies, and have never grown out of them. Some people say they sound like amateur musicians and sometimes out of tune, but I say they knew exactly what they were doing and often deliberately went for that effect. Either way, they always came across as real musicians playing real music, not 3-chord posers backed by professional producers. And when you consider how many super high-profile musicians cite Incredible String Band as a huge influence, you owe it to yourself to get to know their music to appreciate its worth. I had so many happy times singing along with them in my car while driving through beautiful country. Thank you so much, Robin and Mike, and yes, I Was A Young Man Back In The 1960s.

  • Incredible Incredible String Band x 5

    They may have been forgotten by many but once the viewer's interest is tweaked, they'll be glad they picked up ICB first five studio albums; they're at their best here.Though there are no outtakes or demos, the original albums stand on their own merit. The sound quality is great too

  • Buy with faith, listen and enjoy.

    Well packaged, nice touch with the original album sleeves. And thankfully there was no sign of any re-mastering/re-imagining of these gems. Straightforward and for me great value, perfect Summer music, really enjoying them.

  • THE OTHERWORLD OF IMAGINATIVE TRANSCENDENCE

    QUALITY CDs - BUT THE MUSIC IS UNIQUE AND SO ARE THE ARTISTS - ISB WERE INTEGRAL TO THE RITE OF PASSAGE WAY BACK IN THE NINETEEN SIXTIES - THIS COLLECTION IS A TIME-TRIP INTO A BETTER PLACE MORE OPTIMISTIC THAN TODAY AN OPPORTUNITY TO RECOVER HIGHER SPIRITUAL PATHWAYS
