Various: What A Groovy Day - The British Sunshine Pop Sound 1967 - 1972 (3-CD Box)

(Grapefruit Records) 87 tracks, 3 CD's in a gatefold box with a lush 48 page booklet.

Detailed examination of the British sunshine pop sound during its late 60s/early 70s heyday.
- Four-hour compilation of 87 tracks, including hits, misses, rarities and previously unreleased material.

Although the lushly arranged, harmony-based sunshine pop sound of the late '60s is most readily associated with America in general and sun-drenched California in particular, it was in fact always an international phenomenon.

The three-CD set "What A Groovy Day" is a thrilling four-hour celebration of the British contribution to the genre, ranging from familiar names (The New Seekers, Cliff Richard, Petula Clark, The Hollies, Herman's Hermits) to completely obscure acts like Infinity and The Mellow Yellow, who released nothing at the time.

Of course, our compilation also includes contributions from the two uncrowned kings of the '60s British harmony pop sound, singer Tony Rivers (who provides us with our title track) and studio all-rounder John Carter, who is represented both as a performer and songwriter.

Other highlights come from the posthumously acclaimed sunshine-pop maestros Design, a trio of music library recordings by the largely overlooked but extremely talented backroom writer Barbara Moore, and, perhaps most interestingly, the very first release of The Sweet's first demo recording, made when they were still known as Sweetshop.

What A Groovy Day is a fascinating exploration of a sound that continues to cause endless ripples in the musical gene pool more than 50 years after its unrecognized heyday. Get an instant dose of sonic summer freshness!
