FLYBACK 1 - BIG ONES TON 1 (-71) UK MONO + STEREO

 

One of my favorite samplers, containing cuts earlier issued on Regal Zonophone, and since I did a bad job when first posting it years ago now feel it's time for an update. So much good music here. Not only do I get top numbers by some of the best acts on the British music scene in the sixties - Procol Harum, Move, Joe Cocker and T.Rex. I can also enjoy then very rare cuts from Juniors Eyes, Richard Henry and Tucker Zimmerman. To my taste a perfect mix. The Move "Blackberry Way" and "Fire Brigade" plus Richard Henry "Oh Girl" are the 45 mono mixes, the rest true stereo, and the audio excellent. I guess many fans of the there and then music are totally ok getting those tracks from CD compilations and/or downloads, but for me this is it. The label design, the arty sleeve, the analog audio and that it was released close to the fact just makes me happy. Also issued in Norway on Karussell with picture sleeve   https://monolover.blogspot.com/2016/10/the-best-of-big-ones-2345023-72-mono.html   , in Germany on Ariola (85 073 IT) and in Netherlands on Stateside (5C048.92 456). Premiere UK had label as shown here on sturdy vinyl in a glossy sleeve.  (SÄM*)  (FXÖ*)
