That was most often due to the fact that recording time is very expensive and without the benefit of a recording contract from a label, was simply unavailable to many groups. The circumstances surrounding these recordings here is a little different. The Batch had access to their own private (though quite capable) reel to reel recorder. After the constant honing of a particular track from their repertoire, they would set up and record it for their own purposes as a "progress report". Apparently, the right label offer never came their way, so these sessions were never meant to be heard by the public. Now, they are all that remains of this once boisterous outfit. All the material they taped spanned a period from 1968 ~ 1973. This is broken down into two, slightly overlapping periods: 1968-71 and 1970-73, released on separate CD's issued by different entities. I listened to both Cd's consecutively, and noticed a somewhat common progression of their sound compared with many other groups of the period. This first one is the most comprehensive collection of their early recordings, and includes all of the tracks found on the Anazitisi label LP, plus a similar number not found there. Their sound starts out with a very Brit-punk influence. The fold-out cover card includes a paragraph about each track, and mentions The Who quite prominently as major influences during this time. They make the natural transition to psychedelic hard rock toward the turn of the decade, and the (then recent) addition of a fuzz-box to their sound is significantly noticeable. They were clearly not shy about using the fuzz, and it's inclusion on most of these tracks is responsible for bumping up my rating of many of them. Not to say this is all fuzz/psych at all. On the contrary, a large number of these tracks start out as considerably soft and uninteresting, until the fuzz chimes in and adds a whole other element to the song. But by the end of this CD, it is fairly obvious what direction the band were headed in; a much softer and moderately country/rural influenced sound like many of their fellow artists on the west coast. Overall, this CD is considerably inconsistent. But with 21 tracks, there should be plenty to interest underground listeners to outweigh the weaker stuff. I'd recommend this over the later one hands down, especially if you gravitate toward the underground end of the spectrum
