VARIOUS

• Four-hour, 79-track CD devoted to the British psychedelic sounds of 1967.

• Follow-up volume to Grapefruit’s much-admired anthology ‘Let’s Go Down And Blow Our Minds’.

We beleefden al veel plezier aan het eerste deel van dit overzicht van de Britse psychedelica anno 1967, maar de verzamelaars van Cherry Red Records weten nu nog een 3 CD’s te vullen met far out materiaal. Met zeer vroeg werk van Bowie, Elton John en Genesis, maar zeker ook bands die op hun hoogtepunt waren, zoals Kaleidoscope, The Move en The Animals. Het schatgraven begint natuurlijk bij de one-hit wonders die weer boven komen drijven, zodat Paper Blitz Tissue, Lisa & Francesca en nog vele anderen nog net op tijd van de vergetelheid gered worden.
