This lavish package collects all three of Collie Ryan's 1973 albums The Giving Tree, Indian Harvest, and Takin' Your Turn 'Round the Corner of Day in a squarebound slipcase with new cover art by Ms. Ryan. Comes with fascinating liner notes from fellow commune-dweller and longtime friend Tommie Zook, three photo cards, and Japanese-style OBI strip. 24-bit transfer direct from the original master tapes. From Yoga Records and Riverman Music. Available from Forced Exposure and finer stores everywhere.
March, 2009: Sebastian Speaks, in cooperation with Yoga Records proudly presents The Hour Is Now, a "best of" LP compilation of Collie Ryan's three albums available now in stores and via mail order. We made 1,000 copies with high quality, old-fashioned wraparound covers designed by Ms. Ryan, and an all-analog mastering process supervised by electronic music luminary JD Emmanuel. We are really proud of this record.
