  • Description

    RE-PRESS: CD ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 2018



    • Re-press of the 3CD anthology ‘Love, Poetry And Revolution: A Journey Through The British Psychedelic And Underground Scenes 1966-1972.’



    • Housed in a clamshell box with a lavishly annotated and illustrated 36 page booklet.



    • A hugely important release featuring much rare material, including previously unissued demo recordings by Tintern Abbey and Blossom Toes.



    • Plus various heavyweight underground bands including The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown, Hawkwind and The Deviants alongside acts who recorded some of the rarest, most valuable albums of the era (Forever Amber, Complex, Peter Howell and John Ferdinando).



    • And a number of subterranean bands – Middle Earth regulars Jade Hexagram, Neon Pearl, Respect and others – who failed to release anything during their lifetime.


    Embracing psychedelic pop (The Mirage, Jason Crest, Shy Limbs, Crocheted Doughnut Ring etc), the burgeoning progressive rock scene (T2, Czar, Fat Mattress) and acid folk (the likes of Simon Finn and Mark Fry), ‘Love, Poetry And Revolution’ draws on a number of catalogues, including Beacon (The Fut, Information, pre-Damned act Taiconderoga), the Vic Keary stable and various collector labels (Sunbeam, Acme, Tenth Planet/Wooden Hill) to give a fascinating, all-embracing overview of what was a tumultuous few years in British pop/rock history.
