The Hidden World Revealed

The Hidden World Revealed

They called it The Paisley Underground. A 1980s, Southern California sound that mixed pure-pop sensibilities with psychedelic overtones, the term was coined by Michael Quercio, leader of one of that scene s biggest bands, The Three O Clock. The Three O Clock eventually signed to I.R.S. Records and even made an LP for Prince s Paisley Park imprint, but it is their early material that is not only adored, but which has never been properly compiled and re-introduced. Until now.

The Hidden World Revealed is a 20-track collection from the years 1981-1986. In addition to hits from their tenure on Frontier Records like Jet Fighter and With A Cantaloupe Girlfriend, the CD features rare singles, demos and alternate takes/mixes. It helps tell the story of where the band started (as The Salvation Army) and what they would achieve recording for major labels and opening for bands like R.E.M. on national tours. It s quite a trip.

A beautiful, four color booklet with photos and flyers, liner notes from Quercio and guitarist Louis Gutierrez, track-by-track commentary from drummer Danny Benair, and a whopping 10 previously unissued tracks, The Hidden World Revealed is an essential document of the origins of one the Paisley Underground s greatest acts and a release Three O Clock fans have been waiting for.
