Shapes & Shadows: Psychedelic Pop / Various

Shapes & Shadows: Psychedelic Pop / Various

2014 colleciton. Founded by highly successful songwriter Les Reed in 1968, the Chapter One label had a five-year run before eventually succumbing to the law of diminishing chart returns. Despite scoring a handful of hits (step forward Gerry Monroe and Leeds United F. C.), their most enduring releases have turned out to be a swathe of singles that met with little success at the time, but which are now in great demand amongst collectors of late '60s/early '70s UK Psychedelic Pop and associated genres. A few tracks have found their way onto unauthorized compilations over the last few years, but SHAPES AND SHADOWS - taken from the masters, and with the full co-operation of Les Reed and Chapter One - proudly assembles these recordings in one place for the first time. Complete with rare photos, quotes and the full story behind the various bands as well as the label itself, SHAPES AND SHADOWS is a fascinating look at the soft white underbelly of the British pop industry during the late '60s/early '70s as well as an essential listen for genre aficionados.
