BEATFREAK

VA - Beatfreak! Vol. 01 -Vol. 10 [2016 -2019] (10 x CD's)

From the minds behind the Piccadilly Sunshine, Mixed Up Minds, Upside Down, and Electric Sound Show series, Beatfreak! is a journey through the glorious cultural dustbin where beat pop meets paisley rhythm and blues. The bruised and battered torso of British pop music. Rare, obscure, and virtually extinct, offers an intoxicating marriage of fuzz pedals and hormones, delivered with careless adolescent dysfunction. A sonic showdown of rare British beat pop pleasures delivered with a whiff of R&B that contains a heady brew of rampant nostalgia in a sonic showdown of rare British beat pop pleasures.

This is a fantastic series that the Particles label started this year 2016.  The series focuses on the beat /merseybeat scene and features a host of singles that were released between 1964 and 1969 on labels in the UK such as Parlophone, Page One, Ecco, Philips, Pye, Decca, Polydor, RCA Victor and CBS. Most of these 45's where from some very well known artists and some not very well known. Lots of killer fuzz guitar here so if that is your thing you will love this for that alone. Most songs here are very raw and some even in demo stages but the remastering makes all tracks sound phenomenal. Most of these tracks where not released as finished product back in the 60's when these songs where cut. These are very raw, fuzzed out hard beat songs that even the psyche fans of the era will love.  Particles concluded their Beatfreak! series with a freaky finale for Beatfreak! Vol. 10. Buckling under the weight of treasured bullion contained herein, Beatfreak! bows out with this final platter promising more of the meat and bones beneath the bruised and battered torso of British pop music. (Amazon)

The '60s garage vibe is here and well! This music was the foundation of today's rock n roll! Great CD's. A must have for fellow garage rockers!
