Powder - Ka-Pow! An Explosive Collection 1967-68 (2014)

America's 1960s love affair with British rock was probably never articulated better than by the original group known as Powder. Equal parts incisive melody and violent chording, and dripping pop-art flash, the dynamic 1968 recordings by this power trio from the San Francisco Peninsula have an acquired a cult notoriety since they were first uncovered two decades ago. Now with Big Beat's deluxe 'Ka-Pow! An Explosive Collection 1967-68', this remarkable material has been given a further, fully re-mastered, lease of life. Brit-besotted brothers Rich and Tom Martin had been playing surf and garage rock in their native San Mateo since the start of the decade. Joining forces with visiting Kiwi pop star Ray Columbus in 1967, they formed the Art Collection.
