All Things Bright And Beautiful: The Uk Pop Explosion 1967-1969 - Various Artists

A four-hour, 3CD anthology of the late 60s British pop scene during the early years of Radio 1. Big hits and intriguing misses from some of the biggest acts and most prominent writing/ production teams of the era. ‘All Things Bright And Beautiful: The UK Pop Explosion’ is a 3CD, four-hour celebration of this pivotal period in British pop history, with a huge number of key hits – including several featured in the opening hour of Radio 1's first broadcast – joined by more minor successes and some 45s that received considerable airplay but nevertheless failed to make the grade. Housed in Grapefruit's standard clamshell box packaging with a 48-page booklet and track- by-track annotation, it's another essential purchase for any late 60s pop aficionado.
