Land Of Sensations & Delights: Psych Pop Sounds Of White Whale Records [1965-1970] (RSD2020, 2LP, Ltd to 2000) [Vinyl]

Featuring 26 hits and rarities from the 60s, The Land of Sensations and Delights: The Psych Pop Sounds of White Whale Records, 1965-1970, unearths the best gems from the Los Angeles label. Founded by Ted Feigin and Lee Lassef in 1965, White Whale Records was instantly put on the map, thanks to its debut single, the Turtles It Aint Me Babe, which hit the Billboard Top 10 that summer. Throughout the next five years, the short-lived but enterprising label issued over 150 singles, as well as 24 albums. Though not every release had the same success at the Turtles output, Feigin and Lasseff signed a wide range of artists: from singer-songwriters to psychedelic pop acts. The Land of Sensations and Delights celebrates the "myriad of obscurities and curiosities" that came from the White Whale catalog, as the Grammy-nominated compilation producer, Andrew Sandoval, explains in his in-depth liner notes.
