Due 03/02...Various Artists - Take A Mind Excursion (32 Pop Gems: From Sunshine To Soft 1966-1972) CD

Explores the late 60s aussie soft pop scene.

“Take A Mind Excursion” highlights rare and obscure recordings from artists such as Bob Dileo, Vigrass, Pebbles & Shells, Something Young and so many more! The names may be unfamiliar, but the tunes are just as good as the big-time chart hits that get overplayed to this day.

The compilation features a whopping 32 tracks and includes a fully annotated booklet with track-by-track details, as well as label scans and songwriter information.

Take A Mind Excursion – it’s just a slight diversion.

Regarding
'Get Around Downtown Girl – Johnny Garrett & The Rising Signs'

Freddie & The Dreamers of all people did a cover of this! It was amongst the small number of songs I found listenable by them (a cover of John Carter's 'Smith & Porter's meat exporters Van' was another).

PM

Paul Vigrass and Wishful Tinking are Australian?

Hi Paul, it's on Teensville label who did that 'Girls on 45' series.

Maybe they're including Australian releases of artists from other countries or else have a related Australian connection. There's several American artists I think.
