"This expertly put together three-disc compilation gathers almost 80 examples of a cross-fertilisation that started off on shaky ground, but which grew in strength during the latter half of the 1960s, and which is now as conjoined with pop as makes no difference".

"Here's the deal: if you have any interest in rock and pop history, a 1960s aficionado or just someone who likes a good tune, Gathered From Coincidence is a charming way to spend an hour or two. Crank up the Dansette, immerse yourself in the liner notes and pretend the outside world, is hip, groovy and black and white. We were so much older then. We're younger than that now".

"Almost overwhelming in places, this 78-song set attempts to trace the links between British pop and folk music at a crucial time in the mid-60s when the pop landscape was a wonderfully democratic place wherein mainstream singers, Tin Pan Alley beat groups and quirky balladeers could sing songs of political significance or vague protest without any notion of studied authenticity ... This beautifully packaged box set presents familiar hits (The Searchers' "Take Me For What I'm Worth", Manfred mann's "If You Gotta Go, Go Now", The Seekers' "The Carnival Is Over") alongside countless obscure and forgotten singles and album tracks. There's even space for a couple of previously unreleased curios: The Knack offer a lyrically "Friday On My Mind"-like "It's All Leading Up To Saturday Night", and John Cassidie provides a satirical Dylan pastiche, "Talking Denmark Street". Revealing and engaging".
