Style: Folk Rock, Psychedelic Rock
Country: Greenwich Village, New York City, U.S.
Time: 60:34

The album's style is characterized as "blending affective pop/rock melodies and lyrics with their good time jug band roots." Jesse Colin Young's basslines are described as "propulsive" and Joe Bauer's drum work is described as "nimble." The album makes use of electric piano and harpsichord. Some of the material present on the album has been described as "jazzy." The album's third track, "On Sir Francis Drake," is an instrumental, and the ninth track "Trillium" employs musical improvisation from the band. "Sham" is described as a "straightforward rocker," drawing comparisons to other Bay Area music acts such as Stoneground. "Ride the Wind" takes stylistic cues from Latin music.

BSCD2: When a standard CD is mastered, an Infared beam is used to make the digital notches on the master disc (mother matrix). With the Blu-spec master, a blue laser is used which is a finer etching process. With this technology, the notches are therefore more precise which reduce playback errors. The notches on a Blu-spec CD have a width of 125 nm compared to the 500 nm width on a standard CD.

The Youngbloods - The Youngbloods [Japanese Ed. BSCD2] (1967)

Year: January 1967 (CD Jul 23, 2014)
Label: RCA Records (Japan), SICP 30554
Style: Folk Rock, Psychedelic Rock
Country: Greenwich Village, New York City, U.S.
Time: 74:36

The Youngbloods is the debut self-titled studio album by the American rock band the Youngbloods, released in 1967. It was also reissued in 1971 under the title Get Together after the popular single from the album. The album peaked at number 131 on the Billboard 200 although two years later the single "Get Together" reached number five and sold more than a million copies.
"Get Together" was written by Chet Powers (aka Dino Valenti of Quicksilver Messenger Service) and had already appeared in 1963 on the album 12 String Guitar! Vol. 2 by the Folkswingers and in 1966 as a track on the first album by the Jefferson Airplane. Upon first release as a single by The Youngbloods in 1967, it only went to No. 62 in the pop charts. Two years later, after being featured in radio and television commercials, the track was re-released and climbed to number 5 in charts, selling more than a million records.

The Youngbloods - Earth Music [Japanese Ed. BSCD2] (1967)

Year: May 1967 (CD Jul 23, 2014)
Label: RCA Records (Japan), SICP 30555
Style: Folk Rock, Psychedelic Rock
Country: Greenwich Village, New York City, U.S.
Time: 72:31
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 398 Mb

Beginning in January 1965, the two began performing on the Canadian circuit as a duo, eventually adopting the name "The Youngbloods". The band's name was a reference to Young's second album. Young played bass, and Corbitt sang and played piano, harmonica and lead guitar.
Earth Music is the second studio album by the American rock band the Youngbloods, released in 1967.
Similar to their first album, the songs were a mix of originals and covers, ballads and rockers. Jesse Colin Young wrote three of the songs alone, the ballad "All My Dreams Blue", the hard rocking "Long and Tall", and the humorous "The Wine Song". Jerry Corbitt contributed the ballad "Don't Play Games" which features a string section, and co-wrote "Dreamer's Dream" with Banana. "Fool Me", written by Banana, is a bass-heavy song more similar to "garage rock" of the middle 1960s than the folkier material normally associated with the Youngbloods.
Cover songs on the album include "Euphoria", a song originally done by the Holy Modal Rounders and written by George "Robin" Remailly (who later became a member of the Rounders). Other covers included two fifties classics, Chuck Berry's "Too Much Monkey Business" and Chuck Willis's "I Can Tell". Tim Hardin's "Reason to Believe " was one of the earliest cover versions of the popular ballad. "Sugar Babe," erroneously credited to Young/ Lomax, is a folk song about gambling and drinking that had been printed in American Ballads and Folk Songs, by John A. Lomax and his son Alan Lomax, published in 1934. In a note below "Sugar Babe," the Lomaxes state: "words and melody reprinted from the second volume of English Folk Songs of the Southern Appalachians, collected by Cecil Sharp, edited by Maud Karpeles." That book was published in 1932.
