K   Special  -   The British Pop Invasion 1964-1967,  160 Classics from the 1960s (Super Deluxe Edition) [2020] (6x CD's)

Since the Summer of Love compilation has been so well received recently , I thought you and your visitors who like 60's music might enjoy this.

No officially released compilation has ever done this amazing run of 4 years (1964-1967) justice, due to many key tracks being omitted, particularly by the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Who, the Dave Clark Five, the Animals, the Kinks and others due to licensing restrictions, music rights issues, etc.  A number of singles released in the UK in 1962 & 1963 didn't make the US charts until 1964 following The Beatles legendary appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964. On February 7, 1964 the Beatles arrived in New York for their inaugural U.S. visit, and two days later played on The Ed Sullivan Show to hysterical response and record viewership, thereby affecting a cataclysmic cultural shift and triggering a musical movement that would come to be known as the British Invasion. 

The British Invasion was a cultural phenomenon of the mid-1960s, when rock and pop music acts from the United Kingdom and other aspects of British culture became popular in the United States and significant to the rising "counterculture" on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Pop and rock groups such as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Zombies, the Kinks, Small Faces, the Dave Clark Five, Herman's Hermits, the Hollies, the Animals, Gerry and the Pacemakers, the Searchers, the Yardbirds, the Who, and Them, as well as solo singers like Dusty Springfield, Cilla Black, Petula Clark, Tom Jones, and Donovan, were at the forefront of the "invasion". American popular music experienced a seismic shift in 1964. That year, British bands launched what became commonly known as an “invasion” of the American pop charts and culture. Led by The Beatles and other British bands and artists, completely and dramatically affected the course of rock & roll in America. At no other time in the 20th century had American popular music been so jolted by foreign sounds and influences.  What many young Americans in 1964 didn't realize was that these “new” sounds coming from across the Atlantic weren’t new at all. Many of the British Invasion bands and artists claimed America and its remarkably rich pop music tradition as their primary influence. What made the re-invention of American music by the British acts so alluring was the fresh and innovative ways they interpreted it and then the manner by which they made it their own. Coupled with intriguing accents, radically new fashion ideas and hairstyles, and a genuine artistic excellence, the British Invasion ignited a music renaissance in America and permanently and prominently established the U.K. on the rock & roll map. The emergence of a relatively homogeneous worldwide "rock" music style marked the end of the "invasion" in 1967.

I felt it was about time a fully comprehensive British Invasion collection was put together, with all the great songs that made such a HUGE impact on the American charts.  Includes the super rare US 7" single version of The Who's 'Substitute' which contains altered lyrics for US radio airplay, plus The Animals' 'We Gotta Get Out of This Place' again with altered lyrics for the US market, plus many other single mixes which are different to the album versions.  No question that this is the greatest compilation from this period ever 'released', mainly because it includes ALL the key tracks which have been omitted from previous compilations over the years.  ALL 100% original 1960s studio recordings - NO later re-recordings, live 'in concert' or remixes here!

Over 7 hours of music and 160 classic tracks to enjoy!
