Various Artists - Box Of Pin-Ups: The British Sound of 1965 (3CD, Grapefruit Records, 2021)

 

Tremendous! A great 3CD collection on Grapefruit Records that focuses on the sounds of the U.K. in 1965. Many of the big players are like The Pretty Things, The Yardbirds, The Animals, and The Small Faces. However, you also get fantastic tunes from less well known British groups like The Merseybeats, Bo Street Runners, and The Tomcats (just to name a few). Over 90 songs are included and not really a dud in the batch. In fact, the sequencing over the three CDs is outstanding. Just plug any of these 3 CDs into a player and just let it go. Definitely recommended. 1965 was a great year! Here is a track list:
