Really Into Somethin: Brit Girl Sounds & Styles - Really Into Somethin' - Brit Girl Sounds & Styles 1962-1970 / Various

Three CD set. An 89-track collection with comprehensive booklet including rare photos and info. Featuring a comprehensive collection of UK female recordings - the vast majority appearing on CD for the first time. With familiar names including Lulu, Dusty Springfield, Julie Driscoll, PP Arnold and Cilla Black joined by lesser-known but equally essential cuts from Adrienne Poster (Posta), The Chantelles and Tammy St John. Following on from RPM's popular 'Dream Babes' series from the 1990s and 2000s, Strawberry makes it's belated debut into the affectionately named Brit Girls' world, with plenty of 60s genres covered including beat, soul, folk and pop. The 3CD set includes UK originals by established UK songwriters Cook/Greenaway, Arnold/ Martin/Morrow and Murray/Callander alongside competitive UK covers of US originals from classic songwriting teams Goffin/King, Holland/Dozier/Holland and Spector/Greenwich, together with self-penned tracks by prolific songwriters Barbara Ruskin, Val McKenna and Valerie Avon. Including several unreleased gems from the archives of Shel Talmy, Dana Gillespie, Ember Records and Joe Meek's Tea Chest Tapes.
