Various England Swings - Lux And Ivy Dig That UK Sound (CD)

(Righteous) 28 tracks

28 weird and wonderful swinging British releases from novelty pop to jazz, rock 'n' roll to comedy. Featuring a wealth of familiar names, from Adam Faith, Dudley Moore, The Dave Clark Five and Tony Hatch. And an array of oddities from Sharkey Todd And The Monsters to Count Jim Moriarty.
Standouts include the great "And Now I Cry" by Jill And The Boulevards, Adam Faith's "Carve Up" from the film's soundtrack, space explorations by Joe Meek, Vigilantes and Tony Hatch.
Plus quirky moments captured in time by Max Bygraves (no, really!) and Alma Cogan and some cool instrumental grooves by Dud, Bert Weedon, John Scott and Johnny Dankworth.
A set that will give any aspiring collector a piece of crazy Britpop - plus opera completely reinterpreted by Spike Milligan on "My September Love". What's not to like?
Remastered from the original sound sources and with annotations by Dave Henderson of MOJO Magazine.
