twilights time - the complete 60s recordings

• First-ever complete anthology of Australia’s finest pop practitioners of the 1960s.
• 86 tracks across three discs, including many new to CD and 13 previously unissued titles.
• Features the band’s two albums, including both the mono and stereo incarnations of their 1968 pop-psych classic ‘Once Upon A Twilight’, along with non-LP singles, commercial spots and vintage live material, all suitably remastered.
• In-depth sleeve notes cover The Twilights’ history in unprecedented detail, along with a bounty of rarely-seen images.

Twilights Time! is the first complete anthology dedicated to The Twilights, one of Australia’s most admired 1960s pop groups. Across three discs and 86 tracks, the collection presents the band’s full vintage catalogue, including album material, non-LP singles, rare commercial recordings, live performances and previously unissued tracks.

Loved in their native Australia and highly regarded by international collectors of beat, mod and pop-psych, The Twilights combined strong vocal harmonies, sharp musicianship and inventive songwriting. Their sound has often appealed to fans of groups such as The Hollies, The Move, Idle Race and July, while their ability to perform complex Beatles material helped build their reputation as one of the finest live acts of the era.

The set includes both the mono and stereo versions of their 1968 psychedelic pop classic Once Upon A Twilight, alongside their earlier LP, singles, EP tracks, advertising spots and related recordings by Terry Britten and Pastoral Symphony. Compiled and mastered by Alec Palao, the release also features extensive sleeve notes, new interview material and a wealth of rare photographs and memorabilia.
