RELEASED 2017
LABEL Ace Records / Border Music
The American who changed the sound of British Rock ’N’ Roll. This unprecedented anthology draws upon both signature hits and some spectacular misses, along with unheard rarities from the producer’s personal archive.
Of course, Shel Talmy was responsible for the early work of The Kinks and The Who, but as this album shows, he did so much more too.
25 of his finest productions are pulled together here, including future stars David Bowie and Lemmy (with Rockin’ Vickers) to cult faves Untamed, Oliver Norman, First Gear and Mickey Finn, along with the acts on Talmy’s own Planet Records, such as Creation.
28 page booklet that contains liner notes by Alec Palao, stunning pictures and art work, plus label scans and rare photos!
