A brand new three-disc, 64-track compilation highlights the progressive sounds that were released through the Decca and Deram labels from 1966 through to 1973 will be released on June 21.
PSYCH! British Prog, Rock, Folk & Blues 1966-1973 features early Genesis and Moody Blues material as well as featuring the likes of Egg, Caravan, Al Stewart, East Of Eden, Jan Dukes De Grey, Igginbottom (who featured the late Allan Holdsworth), Mellow Candle, Khan, Darryl Way's Wolf and more. You can see the full tracklisting below.
Despite their reputation as a classical label, and famously having passed on signing The Beatles (although the label had signed The Rolling Stones in 1963), in September 1966, Decca executives Tony Hall and Hugh Mendl embarked on a bold venture: the creation of Deram Records, a label to highlight the burgeoning underground scene in a similar fashion to Havresy at EMI and Vertigo at Philps/Phonogram.
PSYCH! British Prog, Rock, Folk & Blues 1966-1973 will be available as a three-disc set on CD and also as a 24 song 'highlights' package on double vinyl, housed in an eye-catching gatefold sleeve. Both formats feature new sleeve notes from Prog writer Mike Barnes, author of A New Day Yesterday: UK Progressive Rock & the 1970s.
Pre-order PSYCH! British Prog, Rock, Folk & Blues 1966-1973.
