Magic Hollow
Magic Hollow's producers and major Brummels fans, Andrew Sandoval and Alec Palao have left no stone unturned in making this lavish and exhaustive four-disc boxed set the last word on the Beau Brummels' legacy. Across 113 tracks, it traces the original groups career via hit singles, album tracks, B-sides and other rarities, from their very first studio demos, pre-Autumn Records, in 1964, to outtakes from the acts final acclaimed long-player, 1968's Bradley's Barn. Indeed, a full 42 cuts are unissued, many from the later Warner Bros. era, when the Brummels recorded a tremendous amount of stellar material that never saw the light of day. The music is accompanied by an extensive chronology and music guide by Alec Palao, assembled with the full co-operation of the band and their associates, in addition to many rare and unpublished photos from the archive.
