20 previously uncomped slices of prime British Beat 1964-66
Welcome to Try Me Out, 20 tempting portions of prime British Beat previously uncomped on CD. Psychic Circle's second ever release was I Walk The Lonely Night, a collection of British Beat rarities which concentrated on the inexplicably overlooked, melodic pop side of the genre. We subtitled the album Ballroom Beat Vol. 1, to indicate that the music contained within was a bit more all-embracing than the hard-rocking R&B which emanated from smoky blues basements. What we have here is Volume 2, full of artistes who typify Saturday night in a provincial dance hall. You'll find a Scottish band who only had records released in Germany, one of Brian Epstein's less successful discoveries, two different early versions of King Crimson, a Coronation Street actor trying his hand at pop, and the band that would soon become Marmalade, plus, of course, a host of further delights. Resistance is futile.
