"Barbara Moore was a British singer, composer, and arranger, best known for her work in the 1960s and 1970s, especially in jazz, pop, and easy-listening music. She gained recognition as a session vocalist and arranger, working with artists and bands such as Jimi Hendrix and Dudley Moore. Barbara was a prominent figure in the UK's music industry during the height of the 'library music' era, where composers created music for television, film, and radio. One of her most notable works was her arrangement and vocal work for the Vocal Shades and Tones album, which became iconic in the world of library music. Her compositions, like 'Hot Heels' and 'Steam Heat,' are renowned for their catchy, funky, and soulful elements, often featuring groovy bass lines, smooth vocals, and jazzy arrangements. Barbara Moore's work continues to be appreciated by fans of vintage and retro music, and her compositions have appeared in various films, television shows, and commercials, adding to her legacy as a significant contributor to the UK's music scene. Morgan Blue Town present these four original albums on a 2CD set. Includes comprehensive sleeve notes."

"The Deviants were an influential underground rock band from the UK, active primarily in the late 1960s. Known for their raw, anarchic style, they combined garage rock, proto-punk, and psychedelic influences. Originally formed as The Social Deviants in 1967, the band was fronted by the poet, writer, and provocateur Mick Farren. The Deviants' sound was characterized by its experimental approach, blending bluesy riffs, rebellious lyrics, and chaotic energy. They were a significant precursor to punk and were part of the UK countercultural movement. Disposable was originally released in 1968. A mix of satire, politics, and raw rock music. Although The Deviants didn't achieve mainstream success, they became a cult band with a lasting influence on punk and alternative rock. Mick Farren went on to have a solo music career and became a respected writer and journalist. The Deviants were known as much for their countercultural ethos as their music, making them a key part of the late '60s underground scene."

"Formed in Germany in the 1960s The Blackbirds gained recognition as part of the burgeoning beat and psychedelic rock scene in Germany. The band was active in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and their sound was influenced by the British Invasion and American rock and roll, blending elements of psychedelia, beat music, and early progressive rock. Their albums, such as No Destination recorded in 1968, received some attention in the underground music scene, characterized by experimental soundscapes, melodic harmonies, and a distinctive 1960s rock influence. Though The Blackbirds didn't achieve widespread international fame, they remain a notable part of Germany's rock history, especially within the context of the Krautrock and psychedelic rock movements."

"Kevin Parrot, Brian McGladdery, Roger Tweedale, Gary McDougall, and Tony Bamforth formed Samsun at the beginning of 1969. After several tours abroad they came to the attention of Geoff Gill (ex-The Smoke), Wil Malone (ex-Orange Bicycle) and Cliff Wade (ex-Fickle Pickle). They spent a week at Morgan Studios recording an entire album but only three songs were released for the Dutch and UK markets. A few years later the band rebranded as Oscar. Buried until now in the vaults, Samsun's album finally emerges blinking into the daylight a mere 52 years after it was recorded to provide yet another missing piece of the seemingly forever incomplete Morgan jigsaw. Taken from the original master-tapes, it provides yet more evidence that, during a five-year period in the late sixties/early seventies, the in-house Morgan team was as productive as any similar-sized British pop collective."

"Pop polymath Wilson Malone -- multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, vocalist, producer, arranger -- has achieved cult acclaim for his early work in the soft white underbelly of the British pop industry, being responsible for a number of highly collectable singles and albums during the psychedelic and progressive rock eras before recording the soundtrack to the 1972 British horror film Death Line (retitled Raw Meat for the American market) and working with such storied names as Cliff Richard and Roger Daltrey. However, genuine heavyweight success didn't arrive until some thirty years into Wil's career, when he provided the striking string arrangements that underscored major '90s hits by The Verve ('Bittersweet Symphony') and Massive Attack ('Unfinished Sympathy'). His work has been featured in movies, TV shows, and commercials. His contributions to the soundtracks of various media have helped create mood and atmosphere in visual storytelling. This three-disc CD boxset titled Old Feet, New Socks: The Many Faces Of Wil Malone 1965-72 captures those early years of Wil Malone's work from Robb Storme, The Orange Bicycle, Barnaby Rudge, The Wilson Malone Voiceband, and Fickle Pickle."

"The original Pussy Plays album was released in 1969. That album had a psychedelic and freaky, fuzz n' wah-wah guitar with swirling keyboards and a classic '60s production loaded with all the studio effects of the era. Pussy Plays is undoubtedly also one of the most obscure and beautiful psychedelic albums of the 1960s. So here at last the follow-up album to that first hugely iconic British psych album, Pussy Plays. The original Pussy drummer Steve Townsend and ex-Iron Maiden guitarist Bob Sawyer, along with friends Paul Jackson and Rick Cullen, came together for the follow up album Pussy Plays Again. The recording techniques were basic, the sound is lo-fi, and where this is less than puurrrfect, the quality of the music itself and the imagination and creativity shine through."

"The much sought after 1970 Red Dirt album. A psych blues classic, plus bonus tracks. Red Dirt were a blues band formed in East Yorkshire around 1968 comprised of Dave Richardson (vocals), Steve Howden (guitar), Kenny Giles (bass), and Steve Jackson (drums) who built up an impressive live reputation in clubs and venues in the North of England. When released in 1970, on the Fontana label, their self-titled debut album sunk without trace and legend -- or rumor -- having only sold around 100 copies."

"Now released on straw colored vinyl. The late 1960's truly saw the flowering of the concept album. Following the 1967 triumph of the Beatles meisterwork Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, 1968 followed with the Small Faces' Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake, which followed the adventures of Happiness Stan in his quest to find the missing half of the Moon, whilst S.F. Sorrow by the Pretty Things portrayed the life of Sebastian F. Sorrow, from birth through love, madness, disappointment and ultimately to a lonely death. Less heralded at the time, but now much sought after, was the album recorded by the Five Day Week Straw People, which relates the imagined 'typical weekend of the average nine-to-five worker' as they recounted in an interview at the time. The songs had been written by David Montague and Guy Mascolo, who had first met when they were hairdressers in Clapham in 1963. Guy had just co-founded a salon with his brother Toni, which since then has mushroomed into the hairdressing juggernaut that is 'Toni and Guy'. However, in 1967, Guy and David were songwriting in their spare time and, having completed demos for a number of songs, happened to bump into an engineer from the small independent Saga Records. They were quickly signed to the label and put into the recording studio, with backing from Mike Hawksworth on bass guitar, John DuCann on guitar and vocals and Jack McCulloch on drums. Perhaps inspired by the extraneous noises used on Sergeant Pepper, David and Guy recorded sound effects for use on their own album, which they employed to better evoke the feeling of the weekend. Thus, car engines revving, children playing, a woman in high heels descending a staircase and a rainstorm complete with thunder all find their place. Mix in some spoken word vocals and a judicious sprinkling of special effects, and the result is a quirky and entirely charming album that will transport the listener to those heady days when just about anything seemed possible. Listed as one of Record Collector's 100 Greatest Psychedelic Records (nestling immediately below the Moody Blues In Search Of A Lost Chord!), this is an album that deserves a place in any discerning record collection."

2017 release. "Sam Gopal took up the tabla in Malaysia at the age of 7, before coming to study music in Britain in 1962. Sam Gopal put together his first group, Sam Gopal's Dream in 1966. They quickly became a feature of the psychedelic scene, playing at the 14 Hour Technicolour Dream at Alexandra Palace in 1967 and sharing stages with such giants as Pink Floyd, the Move and Jimi Hendrix. Indeed, Jimi jammed with them during a gig at the Speakeasy in January 1968. However, whilst successful live, the band went unrecorded, and disbanded shortly after, only to be reconstituted under the Sam Gopal moniker, Sam being joined by Roger D'Elia on guitar, Phil Duke on bass and most famously, ex Jimi Hendrix roadie Ian 'Lemmy' Willis on vocals and guitar. Signed to the short-lived Stable label, songs for an album were quickly written, most of them by Lemmy, and the album was released in March 1969, beautifully packaged in a gatefold sleeve. Something of a classic of psychedelic acid rock, complete with fuzzed guitars, but rooted by its Eastern percussion, the album included one cover, a rocked up version of Donovan's 'Season Of The Witch', whilst a projected single release included a version of Willie Dixon's 'Back Door Man', which managed to be even heavier than the interpretation by the Doors on their first album, released two years earlier. 'You're Alone Now', one of the Lemmy-written songs on the album, became quietly influential, acting not only as a forerunner of Hawkwind's seminal 'The Watcher', but having an intro that brings to mind Black Sabbath's 1970 smash 'Paranoid'. The album ends with undoubtedly the gentlest song of Lemmy's career, the rather lovely 'Yesterlove', which has Lemmy's vocal floating gently over a backing of tabla and acoustic guitar. Sadly, despite apparently having all the ingredients in place for success, this incarnation of Sam Gopal proved to be no longer-lived than Sam Gopal's Dream, and broke up not long after the release of this album."

"The Magic Mixture were a London based psychedelic band comprising Terry Thomas (guitar/vocals), Melvyn Hacker (bass), Jack Collins (drums) and Stan Curtis (organ) . The 60's were productive years, though if one explores these years, you'll find that most of the bands that rose during those heady days had some real talent, some sincere visions, and a burning desire to shape a bit of the music scene with their sonic atmospheres. The magic found within these highly prized and rare grooves shows they did pulsate with the moment, This Is The Magic Mixture, should certainly be considered an essential part of the garage psych movement that flowered during 1968."

"180 gram vinyl reissue of 1969 psychedelic blues classic originally on Stable Records. Variety within the somewhat strict framework of the blues format is something rare and elusive, and although musicians aspire to it and audiences long for it, failure and disappointment are usually their respective rewards. Yet unlike so many other musical forms, variety within blues does not necessarily mean an excess of complexity, sophistication, poetry or melody: it is the contiguity of blues and genuine personal feelings that constitutes the prime essential, for without it everything down to the most basic twelve-bar becomes inherently meaningless. This first album by Jaklin demonstrates how a young composer and singer with an ingrained feeling for contemporary blues manages to produce songs which are both emotionally evocative yet simple enough to be tremendously vehicular -- just take a listen to the weaving and pounding, the blending and harmony of the instrumentation on most of the tracks on this LP Particularly interesting is the rolling arrangement on 'Song To Katherine', a piece with a strong New Orleans atmosphere, or as a contrast the tinkling piano on the mellow 'I Can't Go On'. As a performer Jaklin sets a high standard of variety -- this set kicks off with 'Rosie', a raunchy adaptation of an African tribal number that Nina Simone once recorded as 'Be My Husband', while in absolute contrast an acoustic guitar opens 'Look For Me Baby', a folk-based blues. 'Early In The Morning' has Jaklin. In a lighter mood, 'Going Home' could easily be a John Lee Hooker song and arrangement from the late fifties or early sixties with the inspirational influences of rock'n'roll rhythms stamped out all over it. Jaklin's vocals are consistent throughout - the voice itself is a typical piece of British blues workmanship, with the influence of Alexis Korner coming through strongly -- certainly Korner's 'The Same For You' could well be a track from an Alexis LP."
