While specialized in collecting ultra-rare German 60s records, it's not like we'd wear blinkers or have cultivated some kind of tunnel view. Going through the archives, we've found a lot of obscure British stuff from the BEAT era. No psych or prog here, and hardly any R&B-monsters, as these usually are comped elsewhere already. I didn't bother checking data bases to avoid every possible doublette, but I have hundreds of compilations in that field, and didn't use anything that's on there. (Except track 2, which for obvious reasons, was some kind of hidden track and gets exposure here once more in easily decodable disguise.)
All tracks are UK 45s, except where noted. The Pilgrims are an xian beat group. More of these Jesus punks on the comp "Mercy Sound UK" here on this blog. Odd man out is Errol Dixon, actually a Jaimacan born skaster, but this 7" from 64 was among the first 10 singles I bought back in 65 from a bargain bin in Stuttgart, where used jukebox singles were sold for 1 Deutschmark, when I was an 11 years old kneehigh. (Just couldn't decide which side to use, so I took both. This one was very influential to me...) Not much label scans, cause that's too boring a work for lazy old sods like us, but you'll find most of these on http://www.45cat.com .For praise and putdown, questions and answers, please use the comments department.
