( ...PAPERMEN IN THE SKY ..) by (V.A. )...... ....(This lp was limited to 400 copies and come with booklet/insert & a paste-on sleeve in a poly bag . Flippin eck tucker!!! These are very tasty!!! highly recommended releases from what is turning into a vintage year for psych repackages. The white label, paste-on sleeves, and xerox inserts give them a real "collectors'" feel. Issued by two of the divisions of the renowned and mighty Dig The Fuzz conglomerate, sound quality is better than expected, very professionally mastered. Interesting to observe that they're taking the same worthwhile course as SFA, exploring the terrae incognitae ignored, neglected or excluded by previous compilers and discographers. The following quota (from the insert to "Paperman...", referring to 'Schoolgirl') gives an idea of their philosophie de musique - "It was crowned in Record Collector's 'A-Z British Psychedelia' apart from that, they seem to know shit about The Mindbenders' other glorious psychedelic 45s (pretty typical really)." The inserts were written by someone who obviously loves the music and applies themselves to the intricacies of the subject. The broadchurch approach to the genre is very refreshing, and offers a track-mix that leaves the majors floundering on the starting grid, whilst these guys are spurting their magnums over the silver gilt trophy. We have only the merest smidgen of info to add to their glorious notes: VILLIERS & GOLD included future popstar Andrew Gold; QUARTET were to contradict their name, actually an Anglo-Aussie five-piece. They were David McCrae, Kevin Peek, Trevor Spencer, Alan Tarney and SFA hero, ex-Twilight Terry Britten; KG YOUNG was Kenny Young - we've got more info on him somewhere. His producer Ian Green, of course produced a tons of tunes at CBS (including the extremely annoying but quite bizarre Chris Andrews-penned'Groovy Baby' by Microbe, and its Dave Cash flip) and elsewhere: Mindbenders - Schoolgirl Chris Farlowe - Paperman Fly In The Sky Kippington Lodge - Turn Out The Light Paradise Hammer - She Is Love KG Young - Spider Daddy Lindberg - Wade In The Shade Herd - Beauty Queen Paul/Barry Ryan - Madrigal Boomerangs - Dream World Sugarbeats - Alice Designs Alan David - Flower Power Sleepy - Rosie Can't Fly Cherry Smash - Sing Songs Of Love Consortium - The Day The Train Never Came )........
