Big Beat

Big Beat is an American electronic and dance music record label based in New York City. Founded in 1987 by a 22-year-old DJ, Craig Kallman, the label initially focused on house music and later expanded to include hip hop. Originally run from Kallman's parents' apartment, Big Beat was acquired by Atlantic in 1992 and fully integrated into the parent company in 1998. In 2010, the label was relaunched with a renewed focus on electronic and dance music under the leadership of Kallman and other executives.

Please note that Big Beat should not be confused with the British reissue label Big Beat Records. For information about the company before July 26, 1991, please refer to Big Beat Records (12). For information about the company after July 26, 1991, please refer to Big Beat Records, Inc.

The Seeds were a 1960's psychedelic garage rock band from Los Angeles, CA. The band was fronted by Sky Saxon and consisted of Daryl Hooper, Rick Andridge, and Jan Savage.
Known for their unique sound that blended elements of garage rock and psychedelia, The Seeds gained popularity with hits like "Pushin' Too Hard" and "Can't Seem to Make You Mine".
Influenced by bands such as The Chocolate Watchband, Count Five, and The Standells, The Seeds left a lasting impact on the music scene of their time. Their energetic performances and experimental approach to music continue to inspire artists today.

Big Beat's second instalment in its much-anticipated upgrade of the catalogue of garage legends the Seeds continues with their second album, A Web of Sound, released in October 1966 just as their classic Pushin' Too Hard 45 began to ascend the US hit parade. Written and recorded during the band's residencies at Hollywood's underground haven bido litos, alongside Love and the embryonic Doors in the summer of 1966, A Web of Sound showcased a more mature, developing Seeds sound. The record became notorious for the 14-minute showstopper Up In Her Room, but it also includes some of the group's signature tunes including Mr Farmer, Tripmaker and A Faded Picture.

2CD - The bulk of the contents of this deluxe two-disc set are new to compact disc, including the original stereo mix, which has not been available since the 1960s. Also featured is the album's mono incarnation, as well as an unused mono mix of the stop-gap 1967 lp A Full Spoon of Seedy Blues, made in late 1966. A selection of previously unreleased outtakes rounds out the package. As with all Big Beat's Seeds reissues, A Web of Sound comes as a trifold Digipak with extensive illustrations and fresh commentary from assorted participants on both its contents and the career of these garage rock avatars.

2LP - This definitive 2LP edition features the original stereo mix of A Web Of Sound, unavailable on vinyl since the 1960s. The accompanying bonus album of rarities includes mono mixes and outtakes, such as the cryptic early demo of The Wind Blows Your Hair, with its mildly controversial original lyric. Most are new to vinyl and one cut, an alternate take of Rollin’ Machine, is completely unreleased. As before, the deluxe A Web Of Sound comes in a handsome tip-on style Gatefold sleeve, faithfully reproducing the record’s iconic original artwork. The extensively illustrated eight-page insert features detailed liner notes from compiler Alec Palao on the making of this psych-garage classic.
