• Available for the first time on CD • 20 long lost flower-powered trippers • Full-colour booklet • Detailed sleevenotes
Before Psychomania found a limited amount of fame and even less of a fortune curating the widely-respected Electric Asylum series, he cut his musical molars on the little-known Piccadilly Sunshine series, which took the wide-eyed aficionado into the deep and wondrous valleys of British Pop music culture. Daring to bring forth the once overlooked and sadly neglected songs that were laid to waste in a saturated wonderland of suburban teenage pop, Psychomania asks the listener to join him as he tiptoes barefoot through the late 1960s and early `70s in Great Britain's vast and glorious cultural waste paper basket. Stepping amongst the twenty flower-powered trippers presented here, together we shall lovingly restore them to their former glory.
