Try a little Sunshine : the British psychedelic sounds of 1969

"A snapshot of the last hurrah of the flower power era, with many of its featured artists betraying little intuition that the bubble was bursting ... also includes folkier numbers, quant examples of baroque-pop, and the tracks which hint towards the 70s hard-rock explosion".

"Esteemed psychonaut David Wells' new compilation (...), he says, "covers every aspect of the 1969 British pop sound" ... Some of this stuff will be familiar to aficionados, but the purpose of these things is to let the compiler take you on a trip, and Wells knows so much about this era that he always digs up something "fresh". The title song alone is worth the price of entry ... Credited to The Factory, a teenage power trio from Surrey, it was written and sung by John Pantry, IBC Studios engineer and leader of Peter And The Wolves. The band provide deliciously unhinged backing, all fuzz guitars and tumbling drums, which parts for Pantry's beautiful chorus melody to shine with its striking falsetto section. A practically perfect 45, its blustery excitement similar to Small Faces' unmatched "Tin Soldier", it sold nothing".
