Another Particles compilation which I assume (hope) will also be in a clam shell box? Out 13th September. As with most of these sets, it's a mixture of the well (or over) compiled and more obscure stuff. A number of these titles seem to be previously unreleased. Some artists I have never heard of, so I'll bite.

MAGIC IN THE AIR VOLUME 1 1966 - 1970: THE BIRTH OF COOL BRITANNIA (3CD)

From the original authors behind the groundbreaking Piccadilly Sunshine compilations, this compelling new series seeks to embrace the adolescent mindset at work at the dawn of an unprecedented era in modern culture, in which everything seemed possible.
Magic In The Air attempts to capture a wider perspective of the cultural revolution unfolding in Britain during that decade, and the vibrant nature of a generation caught in the post‐war gap.Featuring over 100 original recordings revisited and lovingly restored for your listening pleasure.

amazon doesn't seen to be selling this

I see it on Amazon UK, pretty expensive anyway at the moment...

can't see it anywhere on amazon. where is it. what do you have to type in

Here's the Amazon link:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07W7GV234?pf_rd_p=330fbd82-d4fe-42e5-9c16-d4b886747c64&pf_rd_r=4NM9NE1D5BD4KX84ZBJ8

You just need to type 'magic in the air box' and it should come up anyway.

It is listed at £30 as is the Scottish beat set but you should be able to find them both on eBay for around £23 nearer the release date or just after it, for instance from ebay seller 'Utopia Sounds'. The Amazon price is too high for the 3 cd set at least.

PM:blush:

thanks paul

If anyone is interested there's someone on eBay currently with a number of these box sets who is auctioning them off for a £15 reserve price and £3.50 postage (recorded delivery). Potentially you could win a set for a tenner less than the £30 eBay price. I won a set for £16.50 a couple of days ago.

Look for it under the title of:

'Birth Of Cool Britannia 1966-1970 3 CD box set'
