FIRST GENERATION (SCENES FROM 1969-1971)

This sampler was meant to generate more sales of the first albums of this excellent band. Unfortunate; is now difficult to find. I would therefore suggest to the marketing people that this sampler is being re- released again as a low-price album. Maybe it should be included as a free CD for the Classic Rock's Prog edition magazine ? I guess a lot of it's readers would love that. Myself included because I can then give away this sampler are a Christmas gift to a nephew who has unfortunate fallen under the influence of this modern hip-hop thingy. This sampler would put him right.

In my case; I bought this sampler after I had got most of the VDGG albums. It was perhaps a waste of money. But on the other hand; this is an excellent sampler in it's own right. I could not had made a better job myself when it comes to compiling the tracks.

We all know the tracks so I am not going to go over them again. I will rather do that on my reviews of the studio albums. The tracks here stirs my blood and just confirms to me how brilliant VDGG is. And that is also the purpose of this sampler, I guess. Job well done.
