Various Artists - Love Is The Song We Sing: San Francisco Nuggets 1965-1970 [4 CD Set]

Love Is The Song We Sing: San Francisco Nuggets 1965-1970 is a 2007 4-CD Box Set that Celebrates The 40th Anniversary Of The Summer Of Love.

Forty years ago the world turned its ears toward San Francisco as a wave of talented bands gave birth to the American counterculture. The music it produced is remarkably diverse. The 77 tracks heard here share little beyond an artistic adventurousness long encouraged in the City by the Bay, mapping the fault lines separating the pop sounds of the early 1960s from more adventurous rock inspired by the arrival of The Beatles and Bob Dylan.

By mid-decade, most of the pieces were in place for what would soon be called 'The San Francisco Sound,' and Disc 1 features the pre-Grateful Dead group The Warlocks, the original line-up of the Jefferson Airplane, a pre-hit Grass Roots, influential existentialists The Charlatans, and Country Joe & The Fish posing that timeless question And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for?
