British Beat Collection Volume One (Various Artists)

The inoffensive Transcription Disc' has been in-and-out of collectors hands since they were originally produced in the 1960s. Conceived and manufactured strictly for export only to commonwealth radio stations for international broadcast, today, they offer an ultimately fascinating document of British Rock and it's family tree. Together with insightful period interviews and a stunning collection of previously unavailable, exclusive recordings, Timebox has unearthed a treasure trove of British rock artifacts that reveal a hitherto untold history of bygone rock and pop. Timebox presents the maiden volume of the British Beat Collection 1965-1967, featuring The Sorrows, Long John Baldry, Alan Bown, Cherokees, St. Louis Union, Tony Jackson, Untamed, Koobas, Mindbenders, Alan Price Set, and more. Over 70 tracks, professionally re-mastered with background liners and rare archival photos. Three-CD clamshell box with 20-page, full color booklet. Also features Paul & Ritchie & The Crying Shames, The Shevelles, Hedgehoppers Anonymous, The Soulmates, The Steampacket, The Checkmates, The Boston Dexters, and Brian Connell & The Round Sound.
