More Info
Harking back to the heyday of soul, jazz, ska and R&B, BLUE EYED BOOGALOO celebrates the impact of those treasured genres on the British music scene at the time of its height in the 1960s.
Combined with exclusive tracks and insightful interviews, these previously unreleased recordings from their respective radio sessions boasts an action packed showcase of homegrown talent with a British accent. From the up‐tempo boogaloo of Brian Auger, Long John Baldry, Cliff Bennett, Kiki Dee, Geno Washington, Jimmy James, PP Arnold and Billie Davis to early mod rockers from Alan Bown and Mike Cotton to The Checkmates, Soulmates and Amboy Dukes plus many more who forged their sound in the Flamingo all‐nighters and helped shape the mod phenomenon.
Timebox proudly presents an explosion of original British Soul with 132 previously unreleased gems delivered over 5 discs. Superb and professionally remastered original broadcast recordings with analytical liner notes, biographies and rare memorabilia.
