This CD features various groups from the Minnesota area that recorded at Dove Recording Studio between 1964-1969. All of the songs are unreleased or hard to obtain gems. Most of the songs are three minutes or less in duration.
The connection to Gypsy are the four unreleased tracks by The Underbeats which features Jim Johnson, James Walsh, and Enrico Rosenbaum. Enrico sings lead on two of the four songs which were recorded between 1965-1967. Many will recognize the song "Love to You" as the Willie Dixon song "I Just Want to Make Love to You" which was made popular by the group Foghat. "Don't You Lie to Me" is an old Chuck Berry song. The two other tracks "Fate of A Fool" and "Wishes Don't Come True" were written by Jim Johnson and Enrico Rosenbaum. These songs give an early preview to the music which later evolved into Gypsy.
There are a number of psychedelic influenced songs among the remaining tracks on the CD. Noteworthy songs include "Cheatin' On Me", "He's In Love With Himself", "I Just Don't Know", "Flight Reaction", I'm A Living Sickness", "Micro-Miniature Love", and "Kill The Enemy".
