What good juice at Grapefruit! The thematic compilations of label British are more than vitamin-packed! So, rather than a stupidly touristy trip to Carnaby Street in the 1960s, we dive straight into the era: what was playing in the shops? What were employees and regulars dancing to, once chic and wiggling, in the clubs? Which songs talked about fashion, about multi-colored London? So we get Twiggy singing (nicely) When I Think of Younot far from the Hi-Fis and their London Lookthe Kinks and their Dedicated Follower of Fashion. We have the anthem of the pirate radio station Radio Caroline, the theme of Bowler hat and leather boots. The group Bluesology (to the rhythm of its pianist Reg Dwight, future Elton John) describes a maddening Mr. Franticthe London Studio Group chants Viva La Tamla Motown, a certain Miss X tells the scandalous Christine Keeler. More than 90 titles are released, fabulous finds and essentials. With 5-4-3-2-1Manfred Mann provides the countdown to the flagship show Ready Steady Go!.
