Love, Poetry and Revolution: A Journey Through the British Psychedelic and Underground Scenes 1966 to 1972

Overview

Grapefruit, an offshoot of Cherry Red Records dedicated solely to the glory of U.K. psychedelic sounds of all sorts, assembled the dizzying 66 tracks that make up Love, Poetry and Revolution: A Journey Through the British Psychedelic and Underground Scenes 1966 to 1972, a brilliantly curated compilation celebrating a golden age of far-out jams. While the title might appear to leave little to the imagination, the dense track listing actually tells an all-encompassing story, including tracks from more recognizable names such as Hawkwind, Fat Mattress, Spencer Davis Group, and pre-T. Rex project John's Children as well as hyper-obscure private-press artists such as Forever Amber and Mark Fry. The breadth of artists allows for detailed coverage of garage psych, proto-prog rock, acid folk, popsike, and all other manner of psychedelic and experimental hybrids happening in this extremely fertile era of British rock. ~ Fred Thomas
