VA - The Psychedelic Snarl (1984)

The first volume in the Rubble series of British psych-mod rarities is one of the best, with superb slabs of freakbeat from Wimple Winch (three cuts), the Craig's demented "I Must Be Mad," and the Hush's "Grey," one of the best British psychedelic singles with a pop bent. Yet at the same time, about half of this is rather ordinary, and not even especially weird, if that's what you're looking for. The long-deleted Chocolate Soup For Diabetics series beats this and every other volume of Rubble from all angles, although Rubble does offer better sound quality for the cuts that previously appeared on other anthologies.
