When Friendly Psychics Music started in the tiny apartment of Chris Jones and Dan Miller, neither thought it would last this long. Nor did they think it would yield this many quality releases, or collect the talents of so many far-flung musicians (including John W., James Focht, Rocky Twarek, Jamie Heaps and more).

Seven years later, FPM is proud to present its first-ever compilation CD, gathering 19 tracks from a dozen of our label's best CDs. Every genre and period of our long-distance collective is represented, from the crisp acoustic-driven songs of Upstate, to the lo-fi squall of Dishwater Psychics, to the sheep-in-a-blender nightmares of Bullet Gastino. This limited edition disc also contains three brand new Upstate tracks, remastered versions of old songs, and some hidden bonus goodies. Order it here.
