Details:
Big Beat is proud to announce that we have recently accessed one of the
most worthy vaults known to UK 1960s rock history: the archives of
producer Shel Talmy, the man behind 'You Really Got Me,' 'My Generation'
and dozens of other signature records of Swinging Britain's mid-60s
glory days. Planet Beat' gathers two-dozen nuggets from the unlocked
Talmy vault to present an unprecedented overview of his achievement in
the beat group category. There are alternative versions of classics like
the Breadcrumbs' 'Everybody Knows' and the First Gear's 'Leave My
Kitten Alone,' with a young Jimmy Page tearing it up on the fuzz. Rare
items from the Rising Sons and Untamed join choice gems from the Planet
discography along with unreleased excitement from the likes of the
Liberators, Johnny B Great and Imp-Acts. Everything on 'Planet Beat' is
drawn from the first generation master tapes and comes with copious
illustrations and notes by compiler Alec Palao. A feast for anyone
interested in the golden era of British beat.
