This is a great comp of mid-'60s British beat group music. The British Beat genre is among the most misunderstood of the post-war era. A tremendous amount of musical creativity and energy distinguishes the genre at its best.
A thoughtful survey of 20 groups out of the hundreds and hundreds who never quite made it, even in the powerful wake of worldwide Beatlemania, this compilation showcases groups who achieved some small acclaim (Ian & The Zodiacs, The Zephyrs, The Wackers, The Pete Best Four) and recordings so great it's hard to believe they're unknown to most people.
Check out the powerful "Do What They Don't Say" by The Jynx, "If I Were The Only One" by The Imp-Acts, "Love In My Eyes" by Karl Stuart and The Profiles and "This Won't Happen To Me" by Ian & The Zodiacs.
