Particles presents Curiosity Shop Volume One, a colorful variety of obscure pop nuggets recorded in the British psychedelic period, from 1968 through 1971, for the first time on vinyl. The psychedelic effects have gone and the lightshows have blown, but their lingering presence in the aftermath of the hallucinogenic haze is, though perhaps less defined, strangely evident. The end of the explosive decade that brought us the fab four and gave us the pop star was proving to be a turning point in both musical and political terms. Curiosity Shop provides an insight into the changing times with an illustrious soundtrack to furnish the senses. Good vibrations indeed! Features tracks by Day 'n' Night, Camaleonti, Colin Giffin, Humbug, Buggy, Michael Blount, Billy M. Lawrie, Lori Balmer, Candy Choir, Lovelace Green, David & David, Samson, The Mixed Bag, Tapestry, Grand Union, Saker, Quartet, Rainbows, Kansas Hook, and Samson. Comes on 180-gram, blue vinyl; Includes a two-page color insert with comprehensive liner notes and rare photographs; Edition of 1000 (hand-numbered).
