1	Rolled Gold (2002) more music like this by The Action The term "lost classic" is applied liberally and often erroneously to unreleased recordings that resurface years later in a maelstrom of hype. However, for the forgotten mod rock also-rans the Action, the term is not only justified, it is painfully bittersweet. On par with such classics of the era as The Who Sell Out or Ogden's Nut Gone Flake but ... see all copies from $11.05! new only from $15.15!
2	Our Music Is Red - With Purple Flashes (1998) more music like this by The Creation Our Music Is Red - With Purple Flashes doesn't improve on the definitive Creation collection How Does It Feel to Feel, nor is it any worse. Instead, it's a comprehensive, well-produced 24-track compilation that contains every one of the group's major songs, plus a couple of interesting covers, lesser-known singers and album tracks. Like How Does ... see all copies from $10.87! new only from $19.20!
3	Come See Me: The Very Best of the Pretty Things (2004) more music like this by The Pretty Things Come See Me: The Very Best of the Pretty Things is a lovingly packaged, mostly well-chosen collection of one of the best bands of the British Invasion that never quite managed to invade. Their lack of success in the States was certainly not due to a lack of great songs. The songs taken from the group's first three albums on Fontana bear this out. ... see all copies from $10.72! new only from $16.59!
4	Angel's Egg (Radio Gnome Invisible, Pt. 2) [EMI] (2004) more music like this by Gong The successor to The Flying Teapot and precursor to You, Angel's Egg is not your usual progressive rock album. Very quirky, with many, mostly brief compositions, the album is a tad less spacy than Teapot, with just a few psychedelic-inspired lyrics, and it's very technically adept. Angel's Egg opens with a true space rock cut (one of the few on ... see all copies from $7.88! new only from $9.78!
5	Action Packed (2001) more music like this by The Action Beginning in the fall of 1965 with their single "Land of 1000 Dances" b/w "In My Lonely Room," the Liverpool-based quintet the Action graced the world with some of the best R&B and soul ever to come out of a white British band, so utterly convincing and sung and played with such conviction that some listeners today can't believe they were white, ... see all copies from $22.01! new only from $22.01!
6	Collectors' Guide to Rare British Birds [Holland] (2007) more music like this by The Birds This is an astonishingly lively and exciting collection, coming from a band that scarcely sold any records in their own time and are known today for their name and their lineup, but not their music. The stuff here is as crunchy and grinding as the early Who material, and if the band's own songwriting isn't as distinctive, the style of the ... see all copies from $9.60! new only from $9.60!
7	The Very Best of the Easybeats (2003) more music like this by The Easybeats Several Easybeats best-of compilations prefaced the appearance of this one, including a mid-'80s Rhino anthology, Best of the Easybeats, which had a track lineup (and title) similar to this 2003 release. Like that Rhino compilation, although this does a decent job overall of gathering the best material by the Easybeats that was widely exposed to ... see all copies from $12.41! new only from $14.77!
8	The Mod Scene (1998) more music like this by Various Artists This 25-song CD is much more than just an excursion into the farther reaches of English Decca Records' vaults -- it's also a de facto tour of the playlists of some of England's hottest mod clubs of the mid-/late '60s; hardly a sound on this collection ever made it anywhere near a chart listing, anywhere in the U.K. (much less the U.S.A.), but a ... see all copies from $14.82! new only from $14.82!
9	Still Unrepentant (2004) more music like this by The Pretty Things If there's a band that deserves a good compilation, it's the Pretty Things. Thankfully, Snapper has the rights to the band's entire catalog, and has done an excellent job of remastering individual albums. This best-of is derived from that remastered material and does the Pretty Things proud with an extensive and exhaustive trawl through the group ... see all copies from $36.11! new only from $36.11!
10	My Friend Jack [Sindrome] (1999) more music like this by The Smoke Regardless of who came up with the term "freakbeat" -- either Bam Caruso czar Phil Smee created it in the mid-'80s or Richard Allen came up with it as the name for his psych fanzine -- it's generally agreed that the Smoke were one of the best examples of the style (along with the Birds, the Creation, Les Fleur de Lys, and a few others) during the ... see all copies from $18.80! new only from $46.94!
11 view cover	Pretty Things [Bonus Video] (2000) more music like this by The Pretty Things The Pretty Things' debut LP was a legendary exercise in anarchy -- 30 minutes into the two days' worth of sessions, their original producer, Jack Baverstock (the head of the label, no less), walked out, and was eventually replaced by a slightly more sympathetic personality in the hopes of salvaging something from the efforts of the band, who, ... see all copies from $10.83! new only from $10.83!
12 view cover	Diggin' for Gold, Vol. 4 (2004) more music like this by Various Artists The fourth volume in a series that collects rare 45s from mostly forgotten 1960s garage and punk bands from Europe, Australia, and New Zealand (this installment also includes two tracks from South African bands), Diggin' for Gold, Vol. 4 is a collector's delight. Most of these bands never had more than a regional hit, if that, and while there is a ... see all copies from $13.37! new only from $13.37!
13 view cover	A Matter of Time (1995) more music like this by Syn see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.00!
14 view cover	Joe Meek's Freakbeat: 30 Freakbeat, Mod and R&B Nuggets (2007) more music like this by Joe Meek Joe Meek is most famous for the records he made in the early to mid-'60s, even the best of which usually matched futuristic, one of a kind production with quaint, silly (if sometimes quite catchy) tunes. This has led many critics to charge, with some justification, that trends were passing him by as British Invasion groups with grittier, more ... see all copies from $12.56! new only from $14.19!
15 view cover	Get the Picture? (1965) more music like this by The Pretty Things The band's second album (released Dec. 1965) has not only been remastered from original session tapes, so the group sound like their amps are practically right in your lap, but it's also been expanded to 18 songs with the addition of tracks cut for singles and EP releases from the same sessions. That's enough to recommend it even to casual fans -- ... see all copies from $15.00! new only from $15.00!
16 view cover	Smashed Blocked! (1997) more music like this by John's Children A must not only for T. Rex archaeologists, but for anyone with a yearning to discover what the best of British freakbeat sounds like, Smashed Blocked! reprises the six months or so that Marc Bolan spent with mod psychedelics John's Children in 1967, adding the group's two earlier 45s (the U.S. hit title track included), and a random selection of ... see all copies from $14.04! new only from $21.99!
17 view cover	Angel's Egg (Radio Gnome Invisible, Pt. 2) (1973) more music like this by Gong The companion piece to The Flying Teapot, Angel's Egg is not your usual progressive rock album. Very quirky, with many, mostly brief compositions, the album is a tad less spacy than Teapot, with just a few psychedelic-inspired lyrics, and it's very technically adept. Angel's Egg opens with a true space rock cut (one of the few on the album), ... see all copies from $12.18! new only from $12.18!
18 view cover	High in a Room (2002) more music like this by The Smoke New arrivals to this compilation might ask, "Will the real Smoke please stand up?" One minute the band exudes classic '60s mod aloofness on its epochal song, "My Friend Jack," in which grating fuzz guitars couldn't conceal knowing references to "taking trips." (A panicked EMI ordered the track recut -- just weeks after yanking the Game's equally ... see all copies from $14.07! new only from $15.70!
19 view cover	The Pretty Things [UK] (1965) more music like this by The Pretty Things The Pretty Things' debut LP was a legendary exercise in anarchy -- 30 minutes into the two days' worth of sessions, their original producer, Jack Baverstock (the head of the label, no less), walked out, and was eventually replaced by a slightly more sympathetic personality in the hopes of salvaging something from the efforts of the band, who, ... see all copies from $13.42! new only from $22.46!
20 view cover	Colour Collection (2006) more music like this by Status Quo As part of Universal's Colour Collection, Status Quo are featured on previously released tracks taken from the heavy metal band's stint with A&M and Vertigo in the '70s. Among the 15 tracks are the original versions of "Down Down," "Rockin' All Over the World" and "Rain." Unfortunately, their first big hit "Pictures of Matchstick Men" is absent. ... see all copies from $5.20! new only from $9.96!
21 view cover	Psychedelic Years, 1966-1970 (2002) more music like this by The Pretty Things After a few years of outdoing the Rolling Stones at their own game, Messrs. May and Co., clearly affected by their love of swinging London nightlife and all that went with it, injected their primal R&B roots with added spice (as Mike Stax, "numero uno Los Pretty Things fan," points out in his excellent liner notes). "Can't Stand the Pain" (from ... see all copies from $10.54! new only from $13.08!
22 view cover	Back to the Beginning [Bonus Tracks] (2006) more music like this by Status Quo see all copies from $8.39! new only from $20.59!
23 view cover	Beat from Holland, Vol. 2 (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Along with most of the free world, the mid- to late '60s were a fertile time for garage rock, beat music, and pyschedelia in Holland. Beat From Holland, Vol. 2 collects 18 prime cuts from this era. The disc kicks off with tracks by the two foremost practitioners of Dutch garage rock, the Outsiders and Q 65. The Outsiders track is one of their last ... see all copies from $19.19! new only from $19.19!
24 view cover	Original Syn 1965-2004 (2006) more music like this by Syn see all copies from $14.00! new only from $16.66!
25 view cover	The Complete John's Children (2002) more music like this by John's Children A bit of a misnomer, this title, in that it's not a truly complete overview (though there could have been room for it -- it's 80 minutes over two discs, not the most efficient use of space). Actually, it's a double-disc re-release of the two 1997 collections of various tracks and rarities, Smashed Blocked! and Jagged Time Lapse, in one place. ... see all copies from $13.34! new only from $19.35!
