beatfreak-rare and obscure british

• The first in the Beatfreak series
• 20-page full colour booklet
• comprehensive liner notes
• rare colour photographs

Particles proudly presents a sonic showdown of rare and obscure British beat pop pleasures delivered with a whiff of paisley R&B. Professionally re-mastered original sound recordings with background liners and rare archival photos.

From the minds behind Piccadilly Sunshine, Mixed Up Minds, Upside Down, Electric Sound Show and Cornflake Zoo, Beatfreak is the pre-cursory journey through the glorious cultural dustbin where beat up pop meets paisley R&B. Prestigious guests include London heavies The Habits, the busker of Baker Street; Gerry Rafferty, a pre-Fleur de Lys’ Pete Sears and Tago Byers and a forgotten Bee Gee. An Intoxicating marriage of fuzz and flute delivered with disgraceful adolescent abandon. Beware, it is not pretty.
