Various Artists - Fairytales Can Come True: UK Popsike From the Late '60s

Twenty tracks of enchanting UK pop-psych, compiled by legendary psych musician and Psychic Circle label-head Nick Saloman. You'll find the pre-Fairport lain Matthews, the only single from Jackie Lomax's Lomax Alliance, Gallagher & Lyle's unique response to Pet Sounds and a Troggs-like gem from P.J. Proby's hairdresser. Compilers and collectors alike know that there was some wonderful music coming out of the UK in the late '60s and it wasn't all-out psychedelia or floor-filling blue-eyed soul. These are dazzling tracks, all very melodic and very refreshing.
