Why 1967? Because the Beatles and their Pepper Sergeant. Because the Monterey pop festival, with Hendrix and his sacrificed Fender. Because Expo 67, the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane on the Place Ville Marie square. All that… and so much more. Here are four hours of very, very good music, 87 extraordinarily varied and brilliantly arranged tracks by the experts at Cherry Red. Between radio hits (notably the Groovin’ of the Young Rascals, the version of the 45 rpm) include extracts from albums (Why Don’t You Do Me Right by Zappa’s Mothers of Invention), pieces that have become cult (She Laughed Loud by The Merry-Go-Round and its wonderful singer, Emitt Rhodes), pop nuggets (Next Plane to London by The Rose Garden, which Renée Martel made immortal here in I’m going to London), as well as ideally complementary finds (Sagittarius, someone ?). A 48-page booklet provides context and details. An inhalation with that?
