After the success of his first ever vinyl compilation, The Cosmic Genius of Big Boy Pete Vol. 1 (MT 042LP), which sold out really fast, here comes the follow-up, imaginatively called... The Cosmic Genius of Big Boy Pete Vol. 2! This mysterious British guitarist (real name Pete Miller) cut some oddball non-hits in the '60s that have amassed quite a reputation among psychedelic collectors but were really hard to find until now. Like on Vol. 1, Vol. 2 features one side of some of his best '60s stuff and side two unreleased or little-known gems from the '70s -- ranging from wild and fuzzy garage to psych pop and freaky country-rock. Includes psychedelic color inner cover with lyrics and a text written by Pete Miller himself.

Like an English Kim Fowley produced by Joe Meek or a one-man Barrett-era Pink Floyd, Big Boy Pete is the unsung hero of the sixties. This mysterious British guitarist (real name Pete Miller) cut some oddball non-hits in the '60s that have amassed quite a reputation among psychedelic collectors, like "Baby I Got News for You," a Troggsish number with wads of fuzzy guitar, backed by Peter Frampton and members of the Herd, or "Cold Turkey" with its eerie blasts of spaceship-elevator psychedelic guitars and biting mod-psych vocals, later covered by the Damned (under the guise of Naz Nomad & the Nightmares), before relocating to San Francisco to work as a producer and engineer, occasionally releasing albums on tiny labels. This first ever vinyl compilation features his best '60s stuff on one side and seven unreleased gems from the '70s on the other -- ranging from wild and fuzzy garage to psych pop and freaky country-rock! Includes a psychedelic color inner cover with lyrics and text.

"That darling of the UK is back again. Big Boy Pete (AKA Peter Miller) is emptying his archives to give us
his final recordings of the 1960's in his typical flower pop style. Featuring his 1968 hit 'Cold Turkey,' these psyched-out tracks will not disappoint."
