And The Beat Goes On Volume 1
Various Artists (2 CD Set)

Description

And The Beat Goes On Volume 1 is a lovingly assembled 2-CD collection that captures the infectious energy of early-to-mid 1960s British pop at its most irresistible. The set spans an impressive range of sounds, from Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders’ irresistible ‘A Groovy Kind Of Love’ and Dusty Springfield’s debut smash ‘I Only Want To Be With You’, to the beat-group stomp of Brian Poole and The Tremeloes on ‘Do You Love Me’. The inclusion of The Beatles’ ‘Ain’t She Sweet’ makes this a genuine collector’s item, sitting alongside overlooked gems from the Applejacks, Pinkerton’s Assorted Colors, and Unit 4 + 2. A richly varied snapshot of an era when British pop ruled the airwaves…
