Collie Ryan is a student of Theosophy who privately pressed three records in 1973. This project was funded by her friends at New Age Farms carrot and fresh juice company in Lompoc, California, and the records were distributed at shows at the Sun and Earth Health Food Store and Restaurant in Santa Barbara. The songs on these albums are mostly about the theosophist concepts of karma and reincarnation in its many aspects.

Colllie completely dropped off the grid shortly after these records were made and lives somewhere in West Texas working as an artist, painting mandalas on hubcaps.

The Rainbow Records is a 3CD box set of the Collie's three albums by Yoga Records and Riverman Music. It features new cover art, three photo cards, and excellent liner notes by Collie's friend Tommie Zook. You can order it here, here, or here (Japan), or buy the full set in download form from Other Music.

The Hour Is Now, a compilation of some of the best tracks from Collie's three albums, is now available by mail order or at finer record stores everywhere. Sebastian Speaks / Yoga Records did 1,000 copies directly from the master tapes with no digital step. Collie painted this magnificent new cover and Stoughton Press did the heavy duty "laserdisc" style covers. Please look for it in a store near you or order it from Sebastian Speaks.

As for original records, The Giving Tree and Takin' Your Turn Round the Corner of Day are still available for $75 each. Indian Harvest is now sold out. Although these are flat, well-stored stock copies, the pressing was not great so please expect a little surface noise. Write to Douglas at Yoga Records for more information.

We would like to release more of Collie's amazing music and welcome inquiries from record labels. For more information please see Yoga Records.
