Product Overview
Amidst the hustle and bustle of the "Swinging 60's," an increasing number of young men (and women) were picking up their guitars and drums and heading for the ferry to cross the channel and seek adventure on the continent. Europe offered British bands a virtual playground and most of all, an eager and like-minded audience with paid gigs. Dreams of stardom were built on the blood, sweat and tears of young hopefuls on the Reeperbahn having arrived under the influence of the Fab Four and their Hamburg exploits seeking similar rewards. If you were to compose a list of all the British bands that trod their way across the continent and in particular, Germany, you could safely assume that your pen would run dry half way through. Includes a 24-page booklet with comprehensive liner notes and rare color photographs. Digitally remastered. Artists include: The Snappers, The Vision Show, John Smith & the New Sound, The Deejays, Evil Eyes, Isle of Wight Cherokees, Fingers Lee & the Upper Hand, Thursday's Child, Ian & the Zodiacs, Casey Jones & the Governors, The Sonic, Glyn Jones, 5 from Dave, The All, The Mode, Split Image, Jimmy & the Rackets, Liverpool Five, The Tremors, John Deen & the Trakk and Dave Anthony's Moods.
