BEAT CRACKLE POP 63-66

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

PSYCH CRACKLE & POP Volume 9

Hello All

Here's the next installment of my psych series. There never seems to be a particular theme when putting these things together. But for some reason this volume seems to contain a higher than average quota of top quality psych power pop. Tracks of note are the storming version by Sweet Marriage of the Left Banke's Desiree, The timeless 'Im about to lose my mind' by Airbus. The pop perfection of 'Darlin you can count on me by The Everpresent Fullness'. 

Although my personal favourite is an american homage to the very English pastime of of heavy Cider drinking. 

Thanks for all the kind comments by e-mail. Vol 10 coming shortly.

Enjoy

Thanks to Johnny Laws 'The Disco Farce'. (see you at Cash Converters)
