Psychedelia at Abbey Road 1965 to 1969

An ambitious title though there are a few omissions from this album, no Beatles of course but the songs that are there are often fine and sometimes brilliant. Artists who are on here include Donovan, The Hollies, Tomorrow and Syd Barrett (you'd probably heard of them?!)

Highlights include The Hollies' sweet harmonies on "King Midas in reverse" and the anthemic "10000 years on my mind" by Focus. Syd's brooding and stark "golden hair" is an amazing track. One criticism of the album is that many of the tracks are quite obvious but you can't deny the quality.
