VA - Another Splash Of Colour: New Psychedelia In Britain 1980-1985 [3CD Box Set] (2016)

2016 three CD set. Another Splash Of Colour is the first compilation to document the Psychedelic Revival which hit the British music scene in the first half of the Eighties. This collection expands upon an original V/A LP, A Splash Of Colour, issued by WEA at the start of 1982 and including many of the nu psych scene's major players: Mood Six, High Tide, Miles Over Matter, The Barracudas and The Times. All the musical tracks from this landmark album now appear on CD for the very first time! Another Splash Of Colour transforms the LP into a 64-track compendium spanning the years 1980-1985, from the roots of the psychedelic revival in post-punk and the mod revival through to the much-publicized London scene based around club nights like the Groovy Cellar and onto its second revival of sorts in 1984/85 with the early releases on Creation Records and the popularity of the Alice In Wonderland club. All the key artists are included, from Nick Nicely to the Liverpool contingent (Icicle Works, Julian Cope) to The Soft Boys and solo (Robyn Hitchcock, Kimberley Rew), the Whaam! camp (TV Personalities, The Times, Direct Hits, Marble Staircase, Le Mat), early Creation Records tunes (the Revolving Paint Dream, the Jasmine Minks, Biff Bang Pow!) and the psych scene's eventual chart-toppers Doctor & The Medics (with a previously unreleased track!).
