Review:
A very good collection
This is a very good collection of often pretty obscure
British psychedelia from 1967. I was
around then, but I didn't know most of what is on this 3-CD compilation; I'm
glad to make their acquaintance now.
What you get is 80 tracks, all with that distinctive '67
psychedelia sound. Some are brilliant
(like Elmer Gantry's Flames, for example), most are good, with the very
occasional turkey – and there is absolutely no excuse for the song by the QPR
Supporters, in my view. :o) Some, possibly most, of your personal
preferences will probably be different from mine, but anyone with any interest
in this period will find a wealth of stuff here to enjoy. The selection is varied and knowledgeable,
and the sound quality reflects the originals pretty closely, I think; there
seems to be little or no remastering, which is the way I like it. At under twenty quid for three CDs, it's good
value, too. Recommended.
