Fading Yellow volume 4

various artists
label:: Flower Machine Records

Fading Yellow Vol. 4 takes us to the UK this time around and is similar in that regard to Vol. 1 in this series.

Vol. 4 centers on UK sike-pop from 1967-1969 with the likes of Wayne Fontana, The Alan Bown set and Robbie Curtice while Vol. 5 continues into the 1970s covering the years 1970-1973.

Fading Yellow delves into the softer, underbelly of early 1970s British pop from 1970-1973 on Volume 5, Gone Are The Days. If you've ever wondered what happened with the harmony and sike-pop artists like Billy Nicholls or Micky Jones And Tommy Brown (aka The State Of Micky And Tommy) between the hazy days of the 1960s and the glam and punk rock era, then Vol. 5 of Fading Yellow is a great place to dig.

Fading Yellow volume 6

label:: Flower Machine Records

Like the companion compilations, Volumes 2 and 3, Fading Yellow Volume 6 combines together some obscure 1960s sike-pop, and while this volume doesn't seem as consistent as the previous two, there's still plenty of obscure gems to keep us interested.
