Lets Go Down and Blow Our Minds Box

Cherry Red's Grapefruit imprint has continued its series of box sets - including Love, Poetry and Revolution and I'm a Freak Baby - with another musical journey through the world of British psych and rock.  Let's Go Down and Blow Our Minds is a more focused collection than either of those past two releases, concentrating solely on the U.K.'s psychedelic sounds of 1967.  Of course, you won't find selections from two of that year's landmark psych-rock releases, Sgt.
