Various Artists - Eddie Piller Presents British Mod Sounds Of The 1960s Volume 2: The Freakbeat & Psych Years / Various - 4CD Boxset (CD)

Details: Four CDs. Curated by Acid Jazz Records and Modcast founder Eddie Piller, British Mod Sounds of The 1960s Volume 2: The Freakbeat & Psych Years is the follow up to the hugely successful British Mod Sounds of The 1960s, featuring 95 original tracks. This set is a deep dive into the post-Mod scene in '60s Britain. Featuring a selection of classic and rare tracks, tracing the scene from early '65 to the dawn of a new decade. Volume 2: The Freakbeat & Psych Years tracks the development of the original Mod mainstays (the Small Faces, The Who, The Action, The Kinks), with a generous selection of future superstars (David Bowie, Marc Bolan, Fleetwood Mac, Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin and Steve Howe of Yes are all represented here), alongside a few artists so obscure, so rare, that they never got to release a record in the '60s, but Eddie has tracked down the tapes nonetheless. Stylishly packaged (of course) and including a new sleeve note by Richard Norris, author, musician, producer and DJ, who worked at pioneering psychedelic reissue label Bam Caruso in the '80s, produced Joe Strummer's Mescaleros, but is perhaps best known as one half of Techno duo The Grid and the critically acclaimed group Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve.
