From Mod-Psych to Freak-beat, from Psychedelic Pop to early Glam. In 1969, Wolverhampton’s Revolver released pop hit that never was – ‘Imaginations’, an extremely catchy melody with lysergic undertones.
Brian James’ first outputs were with Taiconderoga, who are also here. Taiconderoga’s ‘Whichi’ fits in perfectly. Majority One probably the most known name here, all artsist are from Britain, except the Swedish Peter Holm (who married Joan Collins for couple of years in the mid 80’s).
To conclude, this compilation is a great snapshot of the times. With some truly exciting gems, recommended for music fans seeking out more long lost gems.
