Customer Reviews

Freakbeat: Evolved from beat, but not yet Psychedelia
There are two or three clunkers on this CD, but on the whole it's another great addition to Deram's excellent "Scene" series. Even the cover versions are fine, and original stuff like Fire, The Human Instinct, The Syn and particularly the Paul Ritchie track are really strong, as are most of the other tracks.

Problem is, the music between 1965 and '68 was hard to comparmentalise (and who would REALLY want to) so there is a certain band/style/personnel overlap with the other CDs, and many of the tracks would equally have been at home there. Check out the R & B, Beat, Mod, Psychedelic or even the Northern Soul CDs in the series to see what I mean.

In all, an excellent CD and a superb series for making those 60's themed compilation tapes/minidiscs for summer grooving (ahem!)

A refreshing must have!
Some really good obscure tracks on here - I only bought it after hearing the Marc Bolan track on Radio 2's Sound of the Sixties show - and found that this compilation is filled with excellent tracks with only a couple of fillers. Hearing something as mainstream as the Small Faces in the middle of it does catch you off guard, but don't let that put you off. If you listen to a lot of `popular' music of this era & genre, this album is a refreshing must have!

Founded in the U K copied in the U S
Basically psychedelic music was invented in this country by the Beatles more by accident than design.In fact you could make a case here for Joe Meek as well but having said that I prefer the American copies which developed from the garage bands.
Freakbeat is a good name though
