The Misunderstood

Complete Recordings The Misunderstood RSD 2026 edition

Californian surf act the Blue Notes became psych groovers the Misunderstood in the mid-1960s, with Englishman Glenn Ross Campbell on steel guitar, and after a chance meeting with the future John Peel they headed to London where they began recording for Fontana, shared a stage with Pink Floyd and became fast friends with Jeff Beck, until drug issues and the Vietnam War disrupted the progression. This all-killer, no-filler compilation assembles the legendary acetate they cut with Peel at Goldstar Studios in Los Angeles and the peak-period recordings they made for Fontana in London in 1969. TOP-NOTCH PSYCH AND BLUES ROCK!
