Various Artists - Piccadilly Sunshine Part 5 (1966-69 uk, many more pop psych and other flavours)



If the 20 tracks collected on this, the fourth installment, are anything to go by, the splendid Piccadilly Sunshine series is still in its zenith. As the gray streets of late-‘60s Britain magically blossomed into a lysergic Edwardian wonderland of the imagination, Jago Simms tells his toy town tale about a “Conventional Fella” who liked to get nude after a hard day’s accounting so he could become “just as free as any bird or bee”, while lazy trumpets, tinkling harpsichords, shimmying Mod-psych organ and glorious guitar fuzz herald such forgotten classics as The Laurels’ “Rainmaker”, Keith Field’s “Stop! Thief” and the Now’s foray into early prog on “The Hands On my Clock Stand Still”.  Simply amazing stuff!

    The compilation album, 'Piccadilly Sunshine, Part Twelve – British Pop Psych and Other Flavours 1967-1971', is a bootleg!

    I played drums on track 4, 'Rastus Ravel (Is A Mean Old Man'), the 1970 Penny Farthing Records B-side by Heatwave : http://www.heatwave.n.nu

    Neither the band nor I or the songwriter / publisher were informed of this 2nd April 2013 release on the Particles label.
