Description
In 1965 The End arose from the glowing embers of the earlier Tuxedos, Innocents and Original Topics, and like many of their contemporaries evolved into a psychedelic group. Along the way, they won the support and patronage of the Rolling Stones' Bill Wyman, who produced their sole album for Decca, "Introspection" (LP2). He also co-wrotetheir signature tune, the psychedelic classic "Shades Of Orange", although the band wrote the rest of their material.
This four LP box set gathers together The End's recordings: "In The Beginning" covers the early days from 1964 to 1967, LP 2 is the 1968 "Introspection" album, "Retrospection" features outtakes from the period 1968/69, while "The Last Word" rounds up the band's recordings from 1969/70, before they reinvented themselves as Tucky Buzzard.
This box set features a note by founder member Colin Giffin, artwork by legendary designer Phil Smee, and the inner sleeves feature photos and ephemera, and the band's story written by acknowledged expert David Wells.
