Come Laughing Home
'MELODIC POP CONFECTIONARIES FROM THE UK 1966-1972)' - Rather than focus on one specific subset of style, this wonderful compilation shines a spotlight on 29 "straight ahead" pop tracks that made the grade, but not the hit parade. There's a splattering of lots of different styles within the pop realm (think bubblegum pop, sunshine pop, Mersey-Beat, baroque/psych, all from 1966-1972) and all the 29 tracks are in glorious mono. The CD includes a fully annotated 24-page colour booklet with lots of rare photos and artist pics. TRACKS: 01. Money - Come Laughing Home 02. Jon Ford - Saturday Sunshine 03.
