Kostas says "British psychedelia blossomed during the years 1966-1968, the period covered by this fascinating new collection from Grapefruit Records – the label’s landmark 100th release – with established bands such as The Who and The Small Faces enthusiastically embracing the psychedelic culture, and newer bands such as The Move, Procol Harum, Pink Floyd, The Incredible String Band and The Crazy World of Arthur Brown achieving rapid yet significant success.  

A thriving club scene that included venues such as UFO and Middle Earth provided a fertile breeding ground for other less successful but equally (arguably more) significant outfits such as Family, Fairport Convention, Dantalian’s Chariot, Blossom Toes and Elmer Gantry’s Velvet Opera".  read on . . . .
