is a compilation of obscure British rock/pop, psychedelia and some lounge core released by the budget label Saga in the late 1960s. Saga operated on a tight budget and almost by accident happened to release some quite extraordinary music (and a lot of crap too most likely).I particularly like The Magical Mixture with their soaring and often raw psychedelic attack. 5 Day Week Straw People were another good band, their album was a concept album documenting the lives of ordinary people (i have reviewed this already) and a couple of great tracks are on here too. First Impression's "swinging London" is very much of its time, no doubt the sound of many a late 60s party.
You probably will not have heard of many of these bands like Family Affair and Katch 22 but there are some real pop gems here, bands and songs lost to time but now rediscovered and packaged with the usual RPM care with plenty of interesting information and trivia in the liner notes.
