It's Not Dark Yet

Music gives soul to universe, wings to mind, flight to imagination, charm to sadness, and life to everything.

Various Artists - Fading Yellow Volume 20 (1964-70 us, even more popsike and other delights, 2023 hard sleeve release)



Celebrating the 20 years since Fading Yellow volume 1, Fading Yellow released the 20th volume.  Created a genre all of its own and praised by many including Bob Stanley. Fading Yellow magically bound the softer end of psych with singer-songwriters and beat groups; what they had in common - aside from woodwinds, harpichords and cellos - was minor chords. The heart of Fading Yellow is rarely sad but always melancholy. Twenty volumes in and it still sounds magical. The usual high quality 45’s musically, this time from the USA and, as always, all the tracks doing their first entrance on any compilation. Groups including Magic Ring, Second Helping, The Mother Love, Luv Birds, The News etc All late 60’s popsike and other delights .
