Strawberry picks up where the powerful RPM Records left off and will shed light on collectable recordings from the 1960s and 1970s, from thematic compilations to anthologies of individual artists and occasional reissues of albums.
Halcyon Days is inspired by the custom RPM compilations Looking Back, Keep Lookin' and Night Comes Down. It traces the evolution of mod-friendly beat music on three CDs of jazzy R&B by Chris Farlowe, Duffy Power with Graham Bond and Zoot Money, opening the first CD with hornloaded Brit-Soul by Jimmy James, Geno Washington and The Richard Kent Style, Ska by Mickey Finn & The Blue Men, Girlgroup-Pop by The Chantelles and fluffy freakbeat by The Pretty Things and The Worrying Kynde.
On the third disc, the influence of psychedelia is evident in the performances of Jason Crest, July and Dantalian's Chariot.
Bands featured include The Animals, The Yardbirds, The Kinks, The Pretty Things, The Creation, The Action, The Artwoods, John's Children, The Spencer Davis Group, Brian Auger & The Trinity and The Fleur De Lys.
There are early singles from future superstars David Bowie and Rod Stewart and early recordings of Jimmy Page with Mickey Finn & The Blue Men and alongside Jeff Beck in The Yardbirds, Steve Howe in The In Crowd, Greg Lake in The Shame and Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker in the Graham Bond Quartet. Mick Fleetwood drums with The Bo Street Runners, future Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore supports Heinz, his Purple bandmate Jon Lord is organist with The Artwoods, Rolling Stone Bill Wyman produces The End and Denny Laine, who later joined Paul McCartney in Wings, sings with The Moody Blues .
Producer Mike Hurst opens his archive and gives us the opportunity to record freakbeat nuggets from Australian Playboys, The Human Instinct, The Favourite Sons, Double Feature and The Oscar Bicycle, as well as orchestrated pop gems from soulful Truly Smith, psychedelic The Alan Bown!, Swedish mods The Tages and dramatically singing twins Paul & Barry Ryan.
Rarities available on CD for the first time include British R&B, soul and mod beat tracks from The Athenians, The Fingers, The Candy Dates, Barney J. Barnes & The Intro, Kevin 'King' Lear, Dorian Gray, Barry St. John, Ray French, Laris McLennon and Sleepy. There are also previously unreleased recordings by The SW4, The Union and The Trendbender Band.
Includes a booklet with track-by-track annotations, packed with rare images, including concert posters, sheet music and band photos.

Strawberry retoma el camino donde lo dejó la poderosa RPM Records y arrojará luz sobre las grabaciones de colección de los años 60 y 70, desde compilaciones temáticas hasta antologías de artistas individuales y reediciones ocasionales de álbumes.
Halcyon Days se inspira en las recopilaciones personalizadas de RPM Looking Back, Keep Lookin' y Night Comes Down. Traza la evolución de la música beat de estilo mod en tres CDs de R&B jazzístico de Chris Farlowe, Duffy Power con Graham Bond y Zoot Money, abriendo el primer CD con Brit-Soul cargado de cuernos de Jimmy James, Geno Washington y The Richard Kent Style, Ska de Mickey Finn & The Blue Men, Girlgroup-Pop de The Chantelles y freakbeat esponjoso de The Pretty Things y The Worrying Kynde.
En el tercer disco, la influencia de la psicodelia es evidente en las actuaciones de Jason Crest, July y Dantalian's Chariot.
Entre las bandas que aparecen están The Animals, The Yardbirds, The Kinks, The Pretty Things, The Creation, The Action, The Artwoods, John's Children, The Spencer Davis Group, Brian Auger & The Trinity y The Fleur De Lys.

El productor Mike Hurst abre su archivo y nos da la oportunidad de grabar pepitas de freakbeat de Australian Playboys, The Human Instinct, The Favourite Sons, Double Feature y The Oscar Bicycle, así como joyas pop orquestadas de la conmovedora Truly Smith, los psicodélicos The Alan Bown!, los mods suecos The Tages y los dramáticos gemelos cantantes Paul & Barry Ryan.

Barnes & The Intro, Kevin 'King' Lear, Dorian Gray, Barry St. John, Ray French, Laris McLennon y Sleepy. También hay grabaciones inéditas de The SW4, The Union y The Trendbender Band.
