Another compilation allowing me to dig deep into an important period of sixties psych pop and rock. This one with sixteen oddities, all original mono. The ones by The Mode, The Talismen and all three from Wimple Winch all previously unissued and here for the first time saved from the vaults. The Parking Lot "World Spinning Sadly" A-side from a one-off 45. Keith West "Kid Was A Killer" 45 flip side from a time when he was still in Tomorrow, here backed by Steve Howe, Aynsley Dunbar and Ronnie Wood. The Pretty Things tracks are one -67 A-side and one -68 flip side, both non-LP at the time. Not sure who played what on Shotgun Express "Indian Thing", but as the band at times included Rod Stewart, Mick Fleetwood and Peter Green I can only imagine. But you can be almost certain that both Mick Fleetwood and Mike Patto contributed to the Bo Street Runners track. So there's a lot here to digest for the student of rock history, but if to chose a personal favorite it'll be Idle Race "Knocking Nails Into My House", a non-LP flip side to "The Skeleton And The Roundabout" sounding like something belonging to the Birthday Party sessions. This release was UK only and saw three issues - 1987 on Bam Caruso (KIRI 025), this 2003 and 2008 on Rubble (FORLP 2902). It would maybe be more rewarding for some to have the 1987 original, but as all issues are far from the fact and the audio on this second is a-ok it's good enough for me. (SÄM*)
