A totally groovy batch of mid-to-late 60s London rock– wonderful work by Small Faces, Chris Farlowe, Billyy Nicholls, Australian Playboys, Amen Corner and more – plus loads of period interviews and soundbites from hipsters, movers and shakers of the era! The whole thing has the feel of a soundtrack, of a time and place rather than from a film – with classic tunes and some lesser known gems as well! A groovy throwback to 60s swinging London! Titles include "Itchycoo Park" by Small Faces, "Night Time Girl" by Twice As Much, "Out Of Time" by Chris Farlowe, "Portobello Road" by Billy Nicholls, "I'll Go Alone" by Humble Pie, "Alfred Bell" by Duncan Browne, "If Paradise Is Half As Nice" by Amen Corner" and more – plus bits of dialogue, interviews and statements from Mick Jagger, Andrew Loog Oldham, Allen Ginsberg, Michael Caine and more!

Very cool stuff – and a fittingly cool collection of work from the great ESP label! If you've never seen one of their samplers before, they're sort of a mad mix of many different styles – putting together tracks in short little blips, filtered out of longer original ones on albums, into a cool collage of sounds and moods. This album features a number of great bits from records we've never seen, mixed together with some more classic moments, all packaged in a cool cover. Includes bits from "East Village Other" by Ishamael Reed, "The Lovebook Record" by Andrei Vozenensky, "Movement Soul" from a record of traditional recordings, "Ni Kantu En Esperanto" from an Esperanto recording, "The Coach With Six Insides" from a musical based on Finnegan's Wake, "Assemblage" by Gunter Hampel, "East Village Other" by Allen Ginsberg, "Call Me Burroughs" by William S Burroughs, "Zitro" by James Zitro, "Of Love & War" by Randy Burns, and lots more by some of the usual suspects.
