GNP Crescendo 

GNP Crescendo, also known as GNP Crescendo Records, is a US label and distributor that was launched around 1962. Previously known as Gene Norman Presents from 1954 to 1956 and as GNP from 1956 to 1962, the label has a rich history in the music industry. Initially focused on jazz, GNP Crescendo expanded its repertoire to include a wide range of popular music after its founder, Gene Norman, sold his night club in 1963 to concentrate on the label. The label is particularly renowned for its specialization in soundtracks from science fiction films and television series. Notably, it released *The Beach Boys* in the 60s.

The distinctive logo of GNP Crescendo features bold white letters on a red background along the top perimeter. Over time, the design evolved to incorporate horizontal wording at the top. With their extensive catalog of releases and dedication to quality music production, GNP Crescendo has become an authoritative presence in the industry.

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.

Restored classics, rare finds, and sought-after releases. Whether you're a vinyl enthusiast or a tape collector, we have something for everyone.

Reissues

Legendary US garage band best known for their evergreen classics ‘Pushin’ Too Hard’ and ‘Can’t Seem To Make You Mine’ that detonated in the US charts in late 1966 and early 1967. Whilst ‘Pushin’ Too Hard’ was their only top 40 hit, this song has been discovered by every new generation that hear it from punk rockers of the 70s to those who are glued to their mobile phones today. 

Their debut LP The Seeds released in 1966 contains both these tracks and is rightly feted as a garage classic. It is an essential album. As our very own Alec Palao stated, “Like the first Ramones long- player, it is one of rock’s great debuts; an album where, in spite of some obvious influences, a signature sign was sharply defined.”

Ace are delighted to serve up the deluxe edition of The Seeds that was lovingly curated by Palao and released by GNP Crescendo some years back. Not only do you get “The Seeds” with 12 pulsating tracks but also a bonus LP of alternate versions and a couple of unheard tracks like ‘The Other Place’ and ‘Out Of The Question’. The extended version of ‘Evil Hoodoo’ is a stone cold treat.

Both albums are housed in a gatefold sleeve with an 8-page full colour booklet with Palao’s brilliant liner notes and sensational photos and memorabilia.
