Lost in My Dream: An Anthology 1968-1974

I liked that I got some good music at a great price quickly!

If your looking to discover this great band this is a really good place to start .It hits most,(but not all) of the bands highlights and gives a really good overview of their work. If you like this there is plenty more from this pivotal band as there are not many bad songs on any of their albums. A really good buy

Two discs are better than one, and as anthologies go, this Spooky effort is a fairly good one. I found it to be somewhat pricey though; However, there is a generous 'helping' of the band, and that mostly manages to offset the premium cost. NOTE: A production glitch apparently causes disc one/track 10 {When I Get Home} to actually be {Hosanna} from disc two/track 1 - thereby appearing twice on this release. "When I Get Home" is a never released track, and seemingly, still is!

What an awesome 2 disc collection that i bought for their cover of beatles i an the walrus and found so many gems on BOTH discs. Every song I heard just kept getting better. Why hadnt I heard most of these songs on any radio station? I would recommend this highly.

Nice Early Progressive Rock Sound

I bought the Best of Spooky Tooth, then I see this double album comes out after. When importcds has the price down to $14.99, I got to buy it. What a great Best Of double CD, sections and sound quality are good. This is for someone who do not have all Spooky Tooth album must own item.

I needed the CD for a radio show I do and my LPs were beat. It's not like having every album with all songs but it does what I thought it would do.

great cd with all the hits I remember from the late 70's. It sure took me down memory lane. The "mirror" is awesome listening. If you like Spooky Tooth don't miss this one.

Great two disc set of a relatively unknown late 60s rock band.

Un clásico

Pour ceux qui comme moi sont dingues de Spooky tooth un régal car certaines versions différentes de celui que j avais déjà et en plus il y a plus de titres et ce Mike Harrison quelle voix !!

If you are at all interested in Spooky Tooth this is an essential purchase. The set covers the major tracks from albums of the period plus a couple of previously unissued pieces that are also very good. That cannot always be said of previously unissed material that crops up on this type of release. I recall Spooky Tooth from the period and they really should have been more commercially successful than they were. "Sunshine Help Me" was a stand out track from Island's first sampler "You Can All Join In". For those unfamiliar with the Spooky Tooth sound on that track imagine the Righteous Brothers going psyche, in a good way that is!As well as writing their own material Spooky Tooth did cover a number of songs including "Tobacco Road", "The Weight", "Son of Your Father" and "I Am The Walrus" (which featured on another Island Compilation if I remember correctly. These covers were not just run-throughs, the band made them their own and turned them into something quite different from the originals. From their psyche beginnings to masterly prog with a touch of wierdness with a French avant garde composer (along the lines of the Electric Prunes Mass in F minor in concept possibily but musically on a much higher level) this set shows the range of Spooky Tooths ambition and musicality.Informative sleeve notes and the recording sounds lovely. I don't know whether there's been any remastering or whether this simply reflects the care taken at the time but as you'd expect from the Cherry Red/Esoteric Records, the job's been beautifully done. A great buy.

マニア向けのベスト盤です。スプーキーのファンは必聴でしょう。彼らの全アルバムからまんべんなく時系列的に選曲されているだけでなく、当時のシングル盤のＢ面曲や未発表曲からもチョイスされており、素晴らしい内容です。スプーキー・トゥースといえば、今だに日本では知る人ぞ知るカルトなブリティッシュ・ロック・バンドのレッテルを貼られている存在だと思います。後の有名人がかつて参加していたバンドとして、あるいはジューダス・プリーストがカバーしたバンドとしてしか知られていないのが残念です。確かにこのバンドの魅力を単純明快に語るのは、困難至極でしょう。作品ごと内容が異なりますし、コンセプトも分かりにくい。また特に初期は他バンドの影響がモロ出すぎ（ヴァニラ・ファッジ、ジミヘン、ＢＳＴ等）で、オリジナリティのなさは明らかです。比較的知られている「スプーキー・トゥー」においてですら、このブルージーな独特なヘヴィ・サウンドが彼らの本質というわけではなかったことは、後の他の作品を聴いてみればわかります。有名曲のカバーも多く、いったい彼らは何をやりたかったのか、今となっては、実に曖昧模糊です。６０年代のブルース・ロック一辺倒だったロックバンドが７０年代になると、ほとんどハードロック化しますが、彼らもそれを画策していたのでしょうか。彼らのバンドやアルバム・コンセプトには、理解不可能な部分が多いのですが、いかにもブリティッシュ然とした郷愁すら誘う、独特の神秘的なサウンドには、実に離れ難い魅力があります。
