GRAHAM BONNEY

Fairytales Can Come True Vol 1 to 4.
All riped from "Psychic Circle" CD`s. As ever enjoy and please help seed.

ROYALTY

Welcome one and all to a brand new compilation of British and European Pop-based psyvhedelia.

TONY HAZZARD

Whimsical and hazy, also melodic and hummable, but with an omnipresent lysergic undercurrent.

MIKE BATT

We've visited this Neverland twice before, and due to the great response from our fellow travellers, we're going back for yet another trip.

THE STOICS

This time you'll meet a suitably freaked-out Irish showband, an American band transported to Paris, a family band from Fulham, a Scottish supergroup in the making, plus a whole lot more.

THE IRRESISTIBLES

The many-hued charabanc is fuelled and ready to depart. Climb aboard, wrap your paisley travel rugs around your vertically striped hipsters and let's ride.

VARIOUS - FAIRYTALES CAN COME TRUE (VOLUME 4): WE ALL LOVE THE HUMAN RACE 2009

                               

 

PLASTIC PENNY

Volume 4 in Psychic Circle's series of psychedelic pop compilations is an entertaining set and a definitive keeper. Obviously, the focus of this series lies on lighter, fluffier songs, often replete with string & brass arrangements.

WAYNE FONTANA

That said, the psychedelic flag flies high on most of the 20 nuggets Nick Saloman caters here. High on the list of out-there highlights is the set's opener, Alan Dell's "The Blue Sound of Love," the ending of which is a daring (though slightly clumsy) game of stereo fading-and-phasing.

COLIN GIFFIN

Colin Giffin's "Changes in Our Time," and "Hiding Behind My Smile" by Los Iberos (from Spain) are two more prime examples of pop music being used to open and alter perceptions.

LOS IBEROS

The lighter side of the collection can be illustrated by the Haystack's "Letter to Josephine," Chris Andrews' "Maker of Mistakes," John Burness' soulful, organ-backed "I Don't Want You (Any More),

EYES OF BLUE

" or Wayne Fontana's spirited "We All Love the Human Race," a catchy song whose psychedelic content consists solely of a little echo in the fade-out.

CHERRY SMASH

This volume is a little light in terms of obscure recordings by musicians who would later become famous, although you do get the powerful "She Does" by the Plastic Penny, who at the time featured future Procol Harum guitarist Mick Grabham and future Elton John bandmembers Dee Murray and Nigel Olsson.

TIM ANDREWS & PAUL KORDA

Overall, a well-balanced collection of popsike sides. All tracks were originally released on 45s in the late '60s.

Various: Fairytales Can Come True - Volume 2: Fairy Cakes For Tea 2007

 

THE CRACKERS ( MERSEYS)

Psychic Circle are proud to present another 20 sparkling, icing-covered, popsike confections previously uncomped on CD. Our Fairytales Can Come True collection visited the melodic, Pop side of British and European Psych, and met with a really positive response, so what could we do but offer up another trayful of sweet refreshment.

RESCUE CO. No. 1

Delve into the troth and you will find The Merseys operating under a pseudonym, an obscure Cat Stevens weird-out, beat legend Sean Buckley with a new name, an unknown version of a Dream classic, plus a host of similar pleasures, This is Fairy Cakes For Tea. Let it work its magic upon you.

COMPILED BY NICK SALOMAN (THE BEVIS FROND)
MASTERED BY DAVE BLACKMAN
AT HILTONGROVE MASTERING STUDIOS, LONDON
PRODUCED BY STEVEN CARR AND JUDE HOLMES

ROEK'S FAMILY

[Like its predecessor, Fairytales Can Come True: UK Popsike from the Late '60s, Fairy Cakes for Tea lays on a bunch of rarities selected with an eye for what hasn't been reissued before, also mixing in some non-U.K. European acts among the mostly British tracks.

SASPERELLA

Just one well-known artist (Peter & Gordon, represented by a 1968 single) is included, though the 1969 single by Crackers was actually done by the Merseys operating under a pseudonym, and Oliver Norman's 1968 single "People People" is a Cat Stevens song never released by the composer.

THE FACTOTUMS

It might be the natural consequence of diminishing returns the deeper the well drills, but it isn't as good as the previous volume, though it's OK.
Your affection for this material -- even if you're a die-hard British '60s rock enthusiast -- is going to depend a great deal upon your enjoyment of, or tolerance for, songs with an upbeat lilt that often draw from rather fanciful imagery and lyrics that frequently straddle the line between the precious and pretentious.

THE STARLITES

More pop than psychedelia, the arrangements -- often delicate and ornate, and always carefully planned -- are more impressive than the songs, which are a long way from the territory inhabited by the likes of Odessey and Oracle, the early Bee Gees, and other prime exponents of this general territory.

PETER & GORDON

It's not dull, and there's some variety, some acts showing lingering mod, Merseybeat, sunshine pop, and folk-rock influences. It's no accident, though, that the most memorable cuts are covers of songs previously given a high profile by American acts (Classics IV's "Spooky" and the Grass Roots' "Look Out Girl"), though Peter's "Values" stands out for its uncommonly moody melody, sounding a little like the Zombies might have if they'd held together until 1970.
