In 1979 a Berlin Record shop issued Acid Dreams a compilation of American psychedelic garage punk in a simple op-art sleeve design pressed in an edition of only 77 copies that disseminated amongst hard-core collectors. It was inspired by the Nuggets compilation that appeared on Elektra in 1972 but dug much deeper into US '60s pop culture than even that brilliant double LP set had dared to venture. Its emergence was only slightly predated by the first Pebbles compilation which had appeared in Australia the year before. Acid Dreams was an instant classic. It defined the perfect garage psych compilation and went on to spawn sequels over the following decades. These included Acid Dreams Testament, Acid Dreams Epitaph (both on compact disc) The Return of Acid Dreams, the triple LP set Acid Dreams, and the last vinyl instalments Acid Dreams Volume 2 and Acid Dreams Volume 3. Confusingly these albums bore not only similar album titles but often duplicated tracks between them whilst adding new ones.

Now, 36 years after that first volume, every recording that has ever been issued under the banner Acid Dreams has been brought together on this The Ultimate Acid Dreams; a 5CD collection that captures the sound of frustrated '60s American youth in its rebellious glory, either revved upon on teenage angst, high on LSD and marijuana or all three at once - enjoy!

This long-awaited 5-CD box set compiles all five volumes of this legendary 1960s US acid punk compilation series. Featuring many legendary 45s, some of them worth upwards of a thousand dollars apiece, it is presented here with remastered sound and a deluxe booklet including background notes and rarely-seen pictures, making it an essential addition to any psych connoisseur's collection.
