- ･ Probably the most prolific budget label of the Sixties California-based Alshire was also the most interesting with owner Al Sherman and his equally notorious hustler sidekick Dave Miller (aka D. L. Miller aka Leo Muller) employing leading LA session men and local studio auteurs to supply finished masters that were then issued (and endlessly repackaged) in a variety of fictitious group names.
･ A 3-CD set I Said She Said Ah Cid gathers together the cream of Alshire’s late Sixties/early Seventies roster incorporating key LPs (including The Animated Egg and the extraordinary Astro-Sounds From Beyond The Year 2000) in full an entire CD of music from scandalously overlooked California psych/rock band The California Poppy Pickers (including a handful of tracks issued in that name by a pseudonymous Wilson McKinlay) and selected highlights from elsewhere in the Alshire catalogue stretching from obscure UK acts like Autumn and Amalgamation to (almost unbelievably) an attempt to update the music of Hank Williams for the acid-rock generation.
･ The result is the first-ever anthology of Alshire’s work while the accompanying 32-page booklet includes many rare photos band quotes and a 10000 word essay that examines in detail the murky labyrinthine world of Alshire for the first time.
