THE KIRKBYS — 'Five From The Kirkbys'
TSEP 003
Long held in high regard by 60s music fans and collectors Liverpool's Kirkbys actually had only three records released in their lifetime, two singles in Finland only and the classic 'It's A Crime' in their native UK. In 1967 they were rechristened the 23rd Turnoff and their Deram label 45 'Michael Angelo' has featured on a number of compilations including two devoted to the group itself. These two releases...

THE SYN — Created By Clive / I'm Following You
TS45 004
During 1967 the Syn released just two 45s for the Deram label, which have since been venerated by fans and collectors alike as classics of their genre. Unfortunately not a great deal of previously unreleased material by the band has surfaced since, but the unearthing of a hitherto undocumented acetate has enabled — with the blessing of the Syn's singer and songwriter Steve Nardelli...

TOP SOUNDS :: FACES FROM THE DARK — Beat and Psychedelia at the Modern Music Centre 1965–1969
TSSCD 012
During the mid to late 1960s the Modern Music Centre in London welcomed hundreds of aspirant hopefuls through its doors at 86 Turnham Green Terrace in Chiswick.

RAW MOD—The New Kind Of People 1965 — 1968
TSLP 011 / TSSCD 011
Initially a London-centric movement that germinated during the latter half of the 1950s, Modernism — largely through Ready Steady Go! and then the well publicized seaside disturbances of 1964 — eventually became a nationwide phenomenon. Some of the older established Mods treated the movement being absorbed into mainstream pop culture and the resultant commercialism with disdain, nevertheless... MORE »
VARIOUS ARTISTS — A Trip Through The Forest Of OAK Records 1967 - 1970
TSLP 009/TSSCD 009
After the highly decorated '17 From Morden' album Top Sounds pay a second visit to R.G Jones' studio with 'From Morden To Wimbledon', a compilation which collects fifteen tracks transferred from OAK label acetates. Two of Friday's Chyld's excellent and recently unearthed pre Fire recordings make their debut on vinyl, and Torquay's Phaze offer weighty psych pop with two numbers from their acetate only EP. MORE »
THE KONTAX — Near Me / Hold On I'm Coming
TS45 003
In 1967 the Kontax visited a studio in Bedfordshire to record two tracks that were pressed up on a very limited run of vinyl 45s, on Luton's Summit Recordings label. The single is so rare that only a couple of copies are known to have ever surfaced in collector's circles, and the band themselves unfortunately remain annoyingly obscure. MORE »
