I got the Rhino box set and haven't totally aborbed it yet, but I really like it so far. I'd like to see what other people think about it.

I have proved myself yet again to be uneducated in too many good things. I had heard the name Beau Brummels before, but never knew anything about them. In fact, the name struck me vaguely as probably some indie rock band of the modern era. I just looked them up and learned a few things about them, and listened to the samples of tracks on allmusic.com.

I guess I have some shopping to do. Sounds like pretty good (albeit dated) stuff.

Absolutely essential ingredient in the formation of folk-rock in the mid-60s. Awesome, awesome group.

Dated?! Not a bit.

"Bradley's Barn" is the best one. Seminal country-folk-rock-cosmic-coolness. But really, their entire output is more than worthy!!

I don't mean dated as an insult. But the samples I listened to -- at least those from the '67 album ("Are you Happy" was a song title, and there was one that has VDP on harpsichord, too) certainly are very instantly recognizable as of those times.

Awesome band. Haven't got the box yet--I suppose I'd better.

Bradley's Barn is awesome, but don't overlook Triangle, which in some ways is kind of a bastard cousin of Smile--all baroque orchestration and lysergic Americana.

That entire set revolves around the track 'Glass!" The other BB's are awesome, but this track blew me away!
