This vibrant compilation serves as a definitive time capsule of the Mickie Most era featuring a diverse roster of talent that defined the sound of early seventies British pop and soul. Released on the Music for Pleasure label this Holland pressed disc gathers together hits from Julie Felix Hot Chocolate and Lulu alongside the nostalgic harmonies of Herman’s Hermits.

The artwork presents a whimsical psychedelic collage of the contributing musicians including a charming illustration of Lulu in a rowboat and various band portraits that evoke the colourful spirit of a bygone television variety show aesthetic. From the folk stylings of El Condor Pasa to the glam influence of Peter Noone performing Oh You Pretty Things the selection reflects a broad readership interest in the transition from sixties beat music to more sophisticated studio productions.

It remains a significant piece for collectors seeking to understand the influence of legendary producer Mickie Most on the international music landscape while enjoying a rich sequence of original artist recordings.
