VA • I Love To See You Strut More 60s Mod, R&B, Brit Soul & Freakbeat Nuggets

 

Review by Fred Thomas
With 85 tracks spread out over three discs, Love to See You Strut offers hours of mod-adjacent sounds from the 1960s, with inclusions from some of the best-known bands of the time and far more obscure acts alike. The compilation is divided into three areas of specific focus. The first disc collects 29 tracks from R&B/beat bands who got steady airplay in the early-to-mid-'60s club scene. This includes a pre-prog version of the Moody Blues, Dusty Springfield, Midwestern soul sensation Geno Washington, an instrumental organ workout on "Turn On Your Lovelight" by Wynder K Frog, tunes from Manfred Mann, previously unreleased tracks from beat acts the SW4 and the Trendbender Band, and many other songs designed for dancing and swinging. Disc two progresses more into the mod era, with familiar names like the Who, the Kinks, Small Faces, and the Zombies showing up alongside less celebrated mod artists like the Profile and the Uprooted. Things get more fiery as the compilation goes on, with the third segment showcasing increasingly psychedelic and far-out tracks from the Action, pre-T. Rex act John's Children, Spooky Tooth, the Creation, and so much more. Love to See You Strut offers a more-than-adequate starting point for anyone looking for an overview of how early beat music got freakier and freakier as the beat went on, with enough rarities for the well-versed and enough all-time classics for beginners.

Reseña de Fred Thomas
Con 85 pistas repartidas en tres discos, Love to See You Strut ofrece horas de sonidos adyacentes a mods de la década de 1960, con inclusiones de algunas de las bandas más conocidas de la época y actos mucho más oscuros por igual. La compilación se divide en tres áreas de enfoque específico. El primer disco recopila 29 pistas de bandas de R&B/beat que obtuvieron una difusión constante en la escena de clubes de principios y mediados de los 60. Esto incluye una versión preprogresiva de Moody Blues, Dusty Springfield, la sensación del soul del Medio Oeste Geno Washington, un entrenamiento instrumental de órgano en "Turn On Your Lovelight" de Wynder K Frog, melodías de Manfred Mann, pistas inéditas de los artistas de beat SW4 y Trendbender Band, y muchas otras canciones diseñadas para bailar y balancearse. El disco dos avanza más hacia la era mod, con nombres familiares como The Who, the Kinks, Small Faces y the Zombies apareciendo junto a artistas mod menos famosos como the Profile y the Uprooted. Las cosas se ponen más ardientes a medida que avanza la compilación, con el tercer segmento mostrando pistas cada vez más psicodélicas y lejanas de la Acción, el acto anterior al T. Rex John's Children, Spooky Tooth, the Creation y mucho más. Love to See You Strut ofrece un punto de partida más que adecuado para cualquiera que busque una visión general de cómo la música beat temprana se volvió cada vez más extraña a medida que avanzaba el ritmo, con suficientes rarezas para los versados y suficientes clásicos de todos los tiempos para principiantes.
