Now-Again Records is completing the trilogy started with Forge Your Own Chains and followed by Tickets for Doomsday with Pale Shades Of Grey: another batch of rare, largely uncompiled--and sometimes barely heard - heavy psych-rock. Pounding drums, scathing fuzz guitar and morose, contemplative lyrics will bring you up on a downer.
Pale Shades Of Grey, as the title hints, is perhaps the most contemplative of the series, heavy on ruminations of dark themes of love, death, pain and triumph, as performed by high school and college bands, Brazilian intellectuals, Nigerian rockers and even an Irish pub band from Michigan. A unique and compelling listen, and surely a worthy companion for these times.
Pale Shades Of Grey debuts on Record Store Day 2024.

Samuel ★★★★★

The gatefold sleeve is really well-made, and the song selection flows perfectly from heavy fuzz to haunting ballads. Found a few tracks I’ve never heard before despite being deep into this era.

Lucy K. ★★★★★

I’ve been digging into this compilation for a week now, and the mastering on side B really brings out the raw fuzz and reverb. It’s a perfect complement to the other two volumes in the trilogy for anyone into heavy psychedelic obscurities from that era.

Victoria ★★★★★

Finally got this on Record Store Day and the track selection is killer—the deep cuts from 1971 are exactly the kind of heavy psyche I've been hunting for. The gatefold sleeve feels sturdy, not flimsy like some modern reissues.
