Hello all
Sorry for my absence. With this comp I wanted to scoop up some interesting tracks from the 'beat' period just before psych. In many respects the period 63-66 was the most exciting in terms of emerging new talent, original ideas and musical progression. This culminated in the pop singles creative peak in 1965-67.
These tracks don't attempt to represent musical peaks. But just as a reminder of some wonderful records that have fallen through the cracks. This is not a garage comp (there are many blogs with a much better grasp of the genre).
Its a compilation of personal faves and tracks of interest the came before the psych era. I originally intended it to be british artists only, but kept stumbling across great tracks from the US
Sorry if its all a bit random. But as always I just want to create an enjoyable listen...
Normal service will be resumed with Psych Crackle and Pop Vol 19 shortly...
Cheers
Bob

Worth it just for the awesome highly armed pic.
ReplyDeleteThis comp is kind of completely awesome. More of this whenever you feel like it. Golly.

nice collection thanks
ReplyDeleteThat'd be the Shotgun Express on the cover then. You can see what the marketing people did very clever. Still a lot coller than Rod became later.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to trying out the new improved link. Awesome work and the covers make things extra good.
Curiouser and curioser said Alice.
ReplyDeleteÌ wanted to make a copy of this on CD as I've done with some of your other mixes and my burning software says its not valid music files. They play fine on my computer through winamp. I wodner is it to do with the sample rate as the files in this one were done at 48hz (and were 320kbps) but the ones which burnt onto CD ok were at 44 (and were 240kbps).
Any way of a link for PSYCH CRACKLE & DANCE 65-70 - and many thanks for this Beat special.

ReplyDeleteHi Bob, Do you know anything more about the Warner Bros (no relation to the record company giants)?,also this is a fascinating cover of the same song that Monkees feature on their album 'Instant Replay' written by Goffin & King no less, as a number of their best songs were. I'd love to know more, if you can provide the same?
ReplyDeleteReally like this comp! Thanks!
