Beggin': The Sound Of London's Mod Club Scene

2008 collection of tracks from this '60s outfit featuring Ollie Halsall. Members of Timebox went on to high profile music careers (with Patto, Babe Ruth and the Rutles amongst many).· Essentially intelligent, genre-bending late '60s British Pop laced with a surreal sense of humor and regular flashes of maverick unpredictability. Mod Jazz/Pop outings and Blue Eyed Soul populate the first half of our complete overview, with Psychedelic nuggets and blasts of proto-Hard Rock (plus a few that defy categorization) inflecting the second - and all recorded within a two year span, with much of it unreleased at the time. RPM.
