Some names may be familiar, others may not. Hopefully, you'll find some new aural thrills within as you groove to an Irish folk band gone decidedly trippy, an Italian-only release from a Bournemouth-based soul band, a lilting number from the son of a world famous painter, a band from Harrow who became Italy's top psych outfit, and the singer of The Cheynes going psychedelically solo. Come cats, hesitate a while at the barbecue, smile sweetly and keep it cool!

Perhaps the first question should be why? For what warped reason did some misguided record executive think that any of the music contained within this compilation was worth releasing on a commercial basis? Whose twisted vision saw these tracks racing up the charts? In fact, who thought that anybody, apart from those with an equally cracked view of the world, would rush to their local record shop to snap up even one of these bizarre items? But then again, perhaps it doesn't really matter at all, and we should just be grateful that these skewed slices of strangeness were pressed up and are still to be found lurking in dark corners of dust-shrouded record racks, thrift stores and flea markets. Mick Dillingham has devoted many years of vinyl hunting to unearthing the obscure, the peculiar, and in some cases, the downright disturbing. Here, Psychic Circle is delighted to present a selection of his personal favorites. Thrill to a Yiddish version of "Rock Around The Clock," groove to a song about aliens landing in Northampton, shimmy to a disco-ball version of Pink Floyd's "Arnold Layne," sit open-mouthed at the late Michael Elphick's deeply worrying paean to kidnap and date-rape (it can't be, can it?), weep along with the moving tribute to Sefton, the cavalry horse blown up by the IRA. Emotions you never knew you had will be brought to the surface. Will it change your life? Probably not, but it will bring some unusual and welcome color into it. Please join the Psychic Circle label in thanking Mr. Dillingham for his tireless endeavors in seeking out hidden gems that would otherwise have remained undiscovered. Artists include: Max Bygraves, Bali, Il Pirata, Laura Huxley, Linda Jardim, Balsara & His Singing Sitars, Reginald Bosanquet, Cadbury's Singers, David McCallum, Mickey Katz, Swingin' Thorn, Rusty Goffe, Rosebud, Martin Harvey, Al Hirt, Steve Bowley, Rene & Renata, Jim Bowen, Hylda Baker, Xaviera Hollander, Mavin James, Edd Byrnes, David Carradine, Paul Damian, Paul Frees, John Collier, Peter Anthony, Joe Loss, Michael Elphick, Tina Harvey, Bert Landers, The Barclay Supergroup, and Cathy Berberian.

...British Rock 'n' Roll Spins. In the mid-1950s, while the Western World was still immersed in the aftermath of World War II, a new concept was discovered. This concept, stroppy and rebellious, was the teenager. Up until then, you were a child until you became an adult. One minute you were in short pants, the next you were smoking a pipe. Now there was an intermediary stage, during which you could experience the nascent pleasures of adulthood without having to succumb to its more mundane disciplines. These new teenagers needed new idols. They couldn't relate to the polite swing of the dance bands. Some found modern jazz a bit too esoteric, while, to be honest, the heart-throbs of the early '50s mostly looked like they were in their early 50s! Suddenly a wild, new sound from the USA was being broadcast over select airwaves. Singers with exotic names like Jerry Lee, Elvis, Buddy and Gene were strutting their stuff. Hollywood was beginning to embrace this movement, and, over in The UK, jazzmen, dance band members, crooners and hopeful kids were suddenly buying guitars, greasing back their hair and rockin' like there was no tomorrow. Here's a selection of what was happening in the basements and coffee bars of Britain at that most wonderful and innocent of times. We've got lids to be flipped, joints to be rocked and rugs to be cut. So what are you waiting for? Artists include: Jimmy Crawford, Cal Danger, Danny Rivers, Art Baxter & His Rock 'N' Roll Sinners, Tommy Bruce & The Bruisers, Wee Willie Harris, Ricky James, Roy Young, Tony Crombie & The Rockets, Derry Hart & The Hartbeats, Mike Sagar & The Cresters, Danny Hunter & The Giants, Terry Dene, Don Lang & His Frantic Five, Vince Eager, Dean Webb, Clyde Ray, Janice Peters, Sharkey Todd & The Monsters, Jimmy Miller & The Barbecues, Dickie Pride, Duffy Power, Billy Sproud & The Rock 'N' Roll Six, Terry Wayne, and Vince Taylor & The Playboys.

Subtitled: Orchestrated Psychedelia from the USA. The Psychic Circle label presents a second volume in their Realistic Patterns series. For the first volume, they delved into the relatively uncharted waters where American psych and lush orchestration flow seamlessly together, carrying the listener on a fantastic voyage that was both pleasing, eye-opening, and loudly praised. It is now time to take another cruise through similar oceans, with 20 tracks during which one can visit the house band at Sammy Davis Jr.'s Hollywood club, an ex-member of The Leaves getting rather groovy, the lead singer of The Third Bardo doing his solo thing, a song from the man behind The Banana Splits, and an old bandmate of a pre-Byrds Chris Hillman. Come aboard, the anchor's up and the sea is like a millpond. Compiled by legendary psych musician Nick Saloman (The Bevis Frond). Artists include: Bloomsbury People, Erik, Majic Ship, The Fallen Angels, The Shambles, Wayne Stewart, Summerhill, Stony Brook People, The Bag, Secret Agents Of The Vice Squad, Peter Courtney, Green Lyte Sunday, Hearts & Flowers, Five By Five, Jeff Monn, The Second Time, The Nova Local, Silk, The Hook, and Peppermint Rainbow.

...Fairytales Can Come True Volume 4. The Psychic Circle label presents the fourth volume in the Fairytales Can Come True series -- a compilation of strange things fluorescently shimmering. Twenty previously-uncomped tracks of a pop-psych nature gathered from the UK and Europe are presented here for your listening pleasure. Sweet harmonies mix easily with freaked-out effects, and chart-aimed pop socializes happily with wah-wah pedals and the occasional fuzzbox. Sometimes whimsical, sometimes heavy, but always melodic and unusual, just like (as Patrick Campbell-Lyons once said) all of us. Compiled by Psychic Circle label-head and legendary psych musician Nick Saloman (The Bevis Frond). Artists include: Alan Dell, Colin Giffin, The Projection, Justin's Timepiece, Los Iberos, Sasha Caro, Tim Andrews & Paul Korda, The Haystack, Eyes Of Blue, Newby, Cherry Smash, Ola & The Janglers, Dave Berry, Chris Andrews, Darlings, Modus Vivendi, Wayne Fontana, Plastic Penny, John Burness, and Jack Carter.

...26 Cool Early 60s Guitar Instrumentals, Phantom Guitars Vol. 2. For everyone who enjoyed Phantom Guitars Vol. 1, and also for those who never heard it, here's a great new selection of classic guitar instrumentals from the early 1960s. Most of the tracks are British, but there are a few European acts included as well. Welcome to 26 slices of music so evocative, you can almost taste the candy floss, almost feel the buffeting of the dodgems (trans. bumper cars), almost smell the perfume of the beehived beauties. If you ever wanted a fun-fair in your own living room, this is the next best thing. If, on the other hand, you never fancied a roller coaster in your residence, this is definitely a far better option. You'll swoon to a combo from Gloucester, part of whom ended up in an Israeli prog band, a solo outing from the guitarist of The Tornadoes, an early aggregation of The Peddlers, an Australian Hawaiian guitarist, a Frenchman who became the first-ever Caucasian to stand for the Japanese Parliament, Bristol's top guitar twangers, and many more. Me? I'm off for another go on The Waltzer. Compiled by Psychic Circle label-head and legendary psych musician Nick Saloman (The Bevis Frond). Artists include: The Cliffters, The Boys, The Saints, Ahab & The Wailers, The Blackjacks, The Hearts, Rob E.G, The Eagles, Alan Caddy, The Gordon Franks Orchestra, The Saxons, Judd Proctor, Bert Weedon, The Sunspots, Mandrake, Teddy Vento & Dietrich Pregl, Richard Harding, The Volcanos, Peter Jay & The Jaywalkers, Jim Gunner, The Cannons, Les Champions, The Ramblers, The Rapiers, The Runestones, and Nero & The Gladiators.

... The Golden Age of the Beat Balladeer. After enjoying countless compilation albums of psych, beat, garage, girl groups, instrumentals, soul, exotica etc., the Psychic Circle label now releases a compilation which concentrates on that most popular of '60s phenomena, the British male vocalist. These are great tracks and performances that can't really be considered beat, soul or psych, but at the same time conjure a similar sort of mental image. Solid, classy songs performed by great singers which readily evoke the sense of excitement and freshness prevalent in that decade. As legendary psych musician and Psychic Circle label-head, Nick Saloman (The Bevis Frond) expounds, "What I was trying to assemble for this album was a selection of quality male vocal, with a kind of pop/beat feel. The kind of thing you might have heard in any London discotheque alongside the beat groups, the Stateside soul-sounds, the groovy girls and burgeoning psych riffs. Nothing too MOR or fey, just cool guys doing what they did best. I reckon it's a long overdue examination of a hitherto overlooked genre. It doesn't really need a label, but if you want to give it one, just file under - male vocal." Artists include: Mickey Clarke, Jason Cord, Gerry Deville, Dominic Grant, Nicholas Hammond, Christian Ward, Graham Bell, Jerry Page, Dane Hunter, Brian Keith, Keith Powell, Don Adams, Neil Landon, Greg Hunter, Dave Walton, Danny Street, Dorian Gray, Rudi Bennett, Ronnie Jones, and James Royal.

...Further Travels Into Unexplored U.S. Folk Rock Territories. A little while back, the Psychic Circle label took a journey back to the time when American folk music discovered electric rock and pop. The result was The Electric Coffee House compilation. That turned out to be one of the label's most successful albums, so consequently they've been having another delve into that hallowed region of chiming guitars, righteous harmony and garage joy. Once again, Psychic Circle is delighted to present an intriguing selection of obscurities: some primitive, some sophisticated, some psychedelic, some full of pop sensibility, but all of it with an essential, omnipresent undercurrent of folk tradition, albeit filtered through amplifiers and pick-ups, but there nonetheless. You'll hear from Ian Whitcomb's kid brother, Chuck Berry's favorite backing band, the man who wrote "Mr. Bojangles," a future member of Poco, a band featuring the young Bruce Cockburn, and a whole lot more besides. Come travel The Golden Road, let your mind wander free and let your freak flag fly. Compiled by legendary psych musician and Psychic Circle label-head, Nick Saloman (The Bevis Frond). Artists include: Morning Sun, Bob & Kit, The Woolies, Mc2, The Rovin' Kind, The Last Draft, The Fun & Games, Keith Allison, The Kynd, Raintree, 3's A Crowd, Robin Kingsley, Circus Maximus, The Patriots, The Rogue Show, The Counts IV, The Happy Medium, Jimmy Satan, The Tiffany System, and The Ragamuffins.

...UK Floor Fillers Vol. 4. Welcome, dear listener, to a world of arrows, targets and multiple rearview mirrors. Racing on big sister's slimming pills and having spent more than is advisable on tight-fitting mohair suits, sharp hairstyling and two-wheel Italian transport, how can a poor suburban soul-boy kick back and relax? And "relax," in this context, does not mean sitting comatose in an armchair. It means forgetting about the office dress code, the factory clocking in and out machine, and the looks of disapproval as you swan down Wardour Street. Here's how: cerebrally ingest the sounds on this CD and move yourself accordingly. The UK and European soul treatments are sure to satisfy any rhythmic cravings. You'll hear an old South London mate of David Bowie, a sweet Irish colleen getting very groovy, one of Sweden's coolest combos, a great South African soulstress, Nottingham's top soul band, Madeleine Bell working under a pseudonym and lots more. So as the Wicked Pickett once advised; don't fight it. Compiled by legendary psych musician and Psychic Circle label-head, Nick Saloman (The Bevis Frond). Artists include: Dave Hunter, Tina Harvey, Kris Ife, Jon Kane, Johnny Curtis, The Globe Show, Margo, James Royal, Slam Creepers, Al Torino, Una Valli, Johnny Tame, Joe E. Young & The Toniks, The Amboy Dukes, The Underground, Kevin "King" Lear, Currant Kraze, Ronnie Jones, The New Jump Band, and Kenny Bernard.

...Who Needs Tomorrow Vol. 2. It's been some time since the Psychic Circle label examined the crazed cave paintings of U.S. '60s garage, but now they're back with a skull-clubbin', hair-pullin', loin-cloth full of spear-hurlin' fury. As far as can be ascertained, none of these little beasts have previously appeared on CD compilations, so sit back and be pummelled into submission. Hopefully, you'll find some new pleasures within. First came fire, then came the wheel, and then came garage. You'll hear a child actor get very strange, a slab of evil fuzz from a bunch of French Canadians, a Cleveland DJ going all psychedelic on record, plus a whole lot more. It's primitive, but it's beautiful. Compiled by legendary psych musician and Psychic Circle label-head, Nick Saloman (The Bevis Frond). Artists include: Group Axis, Kevin Coughlin, Les Hou-Lops, Dee Jay & The Runaways, Jack Eden, Bobby Simms & The Simmers, The Sound Investment, The Bay Ridge, Blue Wood, Bobby Comstock, Southbound Freeway, Dick "Wilde Childe" Kemp, The In Crowd, The Reflektions, The Movers, The Outcasts, Bobby St. Clair, The Outsiders, King Charles & The Counts, and Hex.

...20 Top Prog/Psych Behemoths from the UK and Europe. Seems like only yesterday (probably because it was) that the Psychic Circle label explored some of the uncharted depths of British and European psycho-prog on the first volume of Blow Your Cool. Well, here's another voyage into that dazzling star system. Once again, legendary psych musician and Psychic Circle label-head, Nick Saloman (The Bevis Frond) has pulled in tracks from the UK and across Europe, and once again, this series will thrill you with as-yet unheard treasures from the patchouli-scented vaults of freaked musical excess. You'll find a splendid UK three-piece band who only issued records on the Continent, and then you'll find another! You'll meet the band who would evolve into the German prog monsters, Wind. There's an Irish show-band illustrating that the prog scene had not passed them by, plus an Essex band who released music on their own label, and a whole lot more besides. Swoon! Artists include: Distant Jim, Carriage Company, Kingdom, The Tower, Back Street Band, Big Wheel, Bismarck, CWT, Silence, Ginger Ale, Pussy, Tenderfoot Kids, Electric Food, Mr. Albert Show, The Petards, Castle Farm, The Pebbles, Corporal Gander's Fire Dog Parade, Chips, and Richard St. Clair & Forum.

This is the Psychic Circle label's second volume of prime beat mostly from the '60s UK, with a couple of excursions into Europe. So here we all are once again, gathered around the notional Dansette.

As the '70s took hold of the UK, the colorful expectations of the '60s had all but faded away. The Op Art, the psychedelics and the Victorian militia had been replaced by the greys and browns of geometric wallpaper, the three-day week and the oh-so dull Heath/Wilson pendulum. Splashing a much-needed burst of posterpaint color around came the movement that was to be known as glam-rock. No one minded that its chief protagonists had been round the block a few times before: Marc Bolan, Gary Glitter, Alvin Stardust, Mud, The Sweet, Roy Wood and Slade had all been stomping around with varying degrees of success for many years. Tottering precariously around on silver platforms, made up like provocative pantomime dames, playing a strange drum-heavy confection based on rock & roll mixed with nursery rhyme simplicity, the pop world had its sparkling alternative to the head-nodding complexity of the double concept album. Here's a collection of splendid glam obscurities, all laced with a harder edge, as if to prove that, should the need ever arise, these artistes could more than match their progressive counterparts for rock sensibility. Twenty never-before comped glam-rock sparklers specially compiled by legendary psych musician and Psychic Circle label-head, Nick Saloman (The Bevis Frond). Shambles, Tiger, Angel, True Adventure, Change, Stumpy, Union Express, Abacus, Paul Ryder & Time Machine, Panther, Winston, Frenzy, Bullfrog, Pete Dunton, Tim Dandy, Giggles, Stephen, Screemer, Sakkarin and Fynnius Fogg.

...White Lace & Strange Vol. 2. The Psychic Circle label presents a follow-up to the White Lace & Strange: Heavy Psych and Power Fuzz from the U.S.A. 68-72 compilation, further delving into the less-frequented areas of late '60s and early '70s heavy psych rock from the USA. Gone are the twee excesses of psychedelia. Whimsy has been given a swift boot in the groin and in its place we find a mean bunch of longhairs getting down to some heavy riffing. Post-Hendrix, sub-Cream, quasi-Zeppelin, some of it primitive, some of it sophisticated, all of it rockin' with amps turned up to eleven plus. On this volume, you'll hear the band that would spawn Cheap Trick, a former member of Dion's Belmonts getting all funked up, the drummer of The Knickerbockers working under a pseudonym, the young Leslie West stretching out, and a whole lot more besides. Laid back it isn't!! Enter The Room Of Loud Sound and live to tell the tale. Twenty never-before comped burners specially compiled by legendary psych musician and Psychic Circle label-head, Nick Saloman (The Bevis Frond). Artists include: Hot Soup, Bump, Fuse, Carlo, Five By Five, Plant & See, Morning Sun, Today's Special, Fantasy, Mister Beeler, Peace & Quiet, Six Pak, Salem Witchcraft, The Vagrants, Hammer, Blowtorch, Locomotive, Eagle, The Mystic Number National Bank and Silk.

...Instrumentals from the UK 1961-1964. For a short period in the UK, guitar-led instrumental groups took control. In the three year span between rock & roll and the full flush of beat, there was no bigger band than The Shadows. Their magical brand of twanging melody incorporated elements of Duane Eddy and The Ventures, but was something entirely British. And, as always, when someone comes up with a winning formula, everybody else suddenly leaps on board. So, in contrast to the clean-cut crooners, coffee bars, dancehalls and fairgrounds reverberated to the sound of Binson echo units and primitive Bigsby-esque tremelo arms. This CD ventures back in time a little further than previous Psychic Circle releases to round up a string-bending selection of some the finest examples of this genre. You'll hear an unreleased acetate from the guy who wrote the BBC's Match Of The Day theme, a live stormer from an Irish showband and a gem from Alvin Stardust's first backing band. There's a quick visit to Joe Meek's studios, and a track from The Gladiators without Nero, plus a whole lot more. Specially compiled by legendary psych musician and Psychic Circle label-head, Nick Saloman (The Bevis Frond). Other artists include: The Falcons, The Krew Kats, The Phantoms, Bobby Taylor, The Hunters, Dennis Newey, The Executives, The Nu-Notes, The Cougars, The Champions, The Fentones, The Gimmicks, Dunhill & Weiser, The Packabeats, The Planets, The Johnny Howard Group, Rhet Stoller, The Players, The Violents, Group X, The Barons, Bob Miller & The Millermen, The Vengers and The Royal Showband, Waterford.

This compilation rounds up 20 (previously uncomped on CD) tracks, all of which have been enriched, rather than diluted, by orchestration. There has long been a prevailing school of thought that psychedelic bands and orchestras do not mix. Even the compiler, Nick Saloman (The Bevis Frond), admits he has been guilty in the past of dismissing many a fine track because of the unwelcome intrusion of brass and strings. It was down to bands like The Left Banke, with their innovative use of baroque instrumentation and chord structure, to show that psychedelia could be orchestrated and still sound superb. You'll hear fuzz guitars, flutes, organs, sitars, horns, strings and some strange, strange lyrics. Okay, we concede that the mental image of a mob of penguin-suited, straight-laced classical musicians sawing away over a tripped-out psych backbeat may not appear particularly "rock & roll" (well actually, maybe it does!), but open your ears and your mind, and you cannot fail to be seduced. In among these mellifluous sounds you'll find a future Allman Brother, Texan garage band The Kitchen Cinq operating under a pseudonym, a band of loggers and firemen from the Pacific Northwest who nabbed a brief one-album deal, a former member of Paul Revere & The Raiders, and the man who would become Bruce Springsteen's manager. Step right this way. Artists include: Burned, The Subterranean Monastery, The Moon, Bubble, Compass, Tim Wilde, The Sound Solution, The Mystic Astrologic Crystal Band, The Byzantine Empire, A Handful, Douglas Fir, Gregg Shively, Nobody's Children, The Balloon Farm, Dunn & McCashen, The Visions, Drake, The 31st Of February, Natty Bumpo and The Little Boy Blues.
