Multiple-band compilations

The BJM have been featured on the following multiple-band compilations:

  • Pure Spun Sugar, Track 12 – "Good Morning Girl" (CD, American Pop Project & Candy Floss, CF-017, AmPop 201CD, 1998)
  • Delphonic Sounds Today!, Track 1 – "I Fought the Law (The Bobby Fuller Four)" (CD, DEL-FI Records, DFCD 2114, 1999)

In 1993 Bomp! and Tangible Records co-released a box set of six singles, each by a different San Francisco "psych" band. The bands were apparently handpicked by Anton Newcombe himself, and it is rumored that he also produced the music. Besides The Brian Jonestown Massacre, other bands featured included Orange, Nebtwister, and Hollowbody.

The other two singles (as credited to Acid and Reverb) are 4-track demos. Acid is by Newcombe and Travis Threlkel (who designed the box-cover and record sleeves), while Reverb is Threlkel and Geoffrey Bankowski, then a member of Hollowbody, currently recording as Good and Angry in New York City.
