3 сборника практически полностью британского гаража из 60х.
Первые два были выпущены на винилах лэйблом
Psycho в 1983м и были переизданы с бонусами на CD в 1994м на
Reverberation (2й - без двух композиций). В 1995м Reverberation наковыряла всякого-разного и слепила ещё один диск.
А в начале 2000х
Past & Present Records взяла оригинальные винилы от Psycho и добавила сколько влезло бонусов от Reverberation. 3й же компакт был переиздан один-в-один. Вот эти три от Past & Present в раздаче.

ревью с Ugly Things
Ron Rimsite penned a rather enthusiastic review of the first two volumes of The Perfumed Garden for UT#3 in 1984. At the time of Rimsite's initial review, the UK '60s Underground scene was experiencing a resurgence of interest, initiated by the seminal Chocolate Soup for Diabetics releases. The success of those comps inspired the gray market Psycho label, which had previously specialized in US psych, to mine deeper for more UK obscurities and create the first two Perfumed Garden volumes (obviously titled after the legendary John Peel radio show). Although all the songs featured in the series could not be considered truly 'psychedelic,' collectors scrambled to obtain the LPs. The series was first issued on CD in 1995 by the Reverberation label, accompanied by a newly compiled third volume, and some changes to the track listings.
Twenty-five years later, Past & Present continues their admirable mission of reissuing significant psych comps by releasing CDs of all three volumes of The Perfumed Garden (now titled A Perfumed Garden). The original vol. 2 LP track listing is restored, including the Ace Kefford Stand's unusual interpretation of "For Your Love" and the Deviants' snotty R&B track "I'm Coming Home." Unfortunately, no liner notes are included, as with the original releases. Perhaps this decision was based on remaining as authentic as possible in their reproductions; however, considering the gorgeous packaging of P&P's previous Rubble box sets, this is a disappointment.
The first two volumes are clearly the best, opening with the Factory's "Try a Little Sunshine," and showcasing freakbeat classics by the Eyes and the Birds, as well as authentic British psych from Shy Limbs, Mandrake Paddle Steamer, Rupert's People and the Open Mind. Another highlight of Volume One is the rarely featured "Floatin'" by the Vamp, Viv Prince's band after the Pretty Things. However, many of these tracks have been featured in better sound quality on other comps that followed in the wake of the original Perfumed Garden. Volume Three includes some dubious song choices that do not fit with the original theme; however, it is one of the few places one can find a track by Reign, the post-Yardbirds venture of Keith Relf and Jim McCarty.
The importance of the initial release of The Perfumed Garden cannot be understated. It helped pave the way for arguably the greatest UK psych reissue label, Bam Caruso, eventually leading to the excellent reissues we are enjoying today. For anyone who missed out on these historic comps initially, the opportunity to obtain them now is certainly welcome.
