NEW PSYCHEDELIA IN BRITAIN
VA - Another Splash of Colour, New Psychedelia in Britain 1980-1985 [2016] (3 x CD's)
Another Splash Of Colour is the first compilation to document the Psychedelic Revival which hit the British music scene in the first half of the Eighties. This collection expands upon an original Various Artists LP, A Splash Of Colour, issued by WEA at the start of 1982 and including many of the nu psych scene's major players: Mood Six, High Tide, Miles Over Matter, The Barracudas and The Times. All the musical tracks from this landmark album now appear on CD for the very first time! Another Splash Of Colour transforms the LP into a 64-track compendium spanning the years 1980-1985, from the roots of the psychedelic revival in post-punk and the mod revival through to the much-publicized London scene based around club nights like the Groovy Cellar and onto its second revival of sorts in 1984/85 with the early releases on Creation Records and the popularity of the Alice In Wonderland club. All the key artists are included, from Nick Nicely to the Liverpool contingent (Icicle Works, Julian Cope) to The Soft Boys and solo (Robyn Hitchcock, Kimberley Rew), the Whaam! camp (TV Personalities, The Times, Direct Hits, Marble Staircase, Le Mat), early Creation Records tunes (the Revolving Paint Dream, the Jasmine Minks, Biff Bang Pow!) and the psych scene's eventual chart-toppers Doctor & The Medics (with a previously unreleased track!).
This is wonderful.....great music, perfect atwork. Taking it's start from the 1981-1982 psychedelic revival all the way to the early days of Creation,this compilation shows how much the sixties continued to influence music. The Eighties saw the start of reissues of sixties music by Bam Caruso,Edsel and others. The influence was there in the music of Siouxsie and the Banshees,Echo and the Bunnymen and more. There are bands who could have gone places if major label interest had been maintained. Nice to see a mention for the Soft Boys too !. (Amazon)

Aw,heck...old Zippyshare. Can we get this one re-upped? I was delighted with the revival of Psych from the early 80's up through Madchester,Shoegaze,the Paisley Underground and Britpop. The Fab 60's will never fade away!
