VA - Bubble Gum Festival (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2 

Bubblegum pop (also known as bubblegum music or simply bubblegum) is a genre of pop music with an upbeat sound contrived and marketed to appeal to pre-teens and teenagers, which may be produced in an assembly-line process, driven by producers and often using unknown singers. Bubblegum's classic period ran from 1967 to 1972. A second wave of bubblegum began two years later and ran until 1977 when disco took over and punk rock emerged.

Upon its genesis, bubblegum music was geared at pre-adolescents, something easy to spot by lending an ear to the lyrics. However, removed from their initial context and intentions, the best bubblegum comes across as catchy, funny, endearing songwriting of the finest order. Strange too, like shattered fragments of cartoons you've never seen, torn cardboard pieces from cereal boxes you never tasted. The sheer amount of bubblegum music flooding the market in the 60's makes for intriguing exploration, as do the various styles which fall under it. It wasn't just boyish voices, organs, tambourines and hand-claps, its ramifications bled into psych pop, fairy-tale psych and garage rock, eventually giving way to glam rock.

Here is presented some favorites whilst highlighting how diverse the style could be. Enjoy!
