Een paar jaar na The British Invasion, kwamen de Amerikaanse popartiesten weer tot hun zinnen. In het kielzog van de hippiebeweging, werd hun muziek experimenteel, etherisch, bijwijlen harder of net zachter, vaak opgesmukt met rare geluidjes. Dit is 1967, het jaar van The Summer of Love en Amerika geeft weer het voorbeeld. Cherry Red heeft gepoogd al die nieuwigheden in drie cd’s te vatten onder de vlag ‘March of the Flower Children’, een nummer van The Seeds. Zoals dat met compilaties gaat, worden we zowel getrakteerd op grote namen als nobele onbekenden, van Steppenwolf en Vanilla Fudge over Strawberry Alarm Clock  en Harper’s Bizarre tot The Id en Summer Snow. Tot daar loopt alles goed. Vreemd genoeg, worden daar een boel artiesten aan toegevoegd die niets met Flower Power van doen hebben of simpelweg van de trend profiteerden, zoals The Everly Brothers, Nilsson en de teenypop van Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart. Captain Beefheart en The Velvet Underground deden zelfs geen poging om bij de blommenkinders te horen! Maar goed, de muziekkeuze blijft ook dan uitstekend en met een kerel als Tommy Roe kom je zelfs voor een leuke verrassing te staan!
Denk dus niet te vaak aan de officiële en wat geforceerde motivatie om deze drie cd’s te vullen, maar geniet van vier uur gevarieerde Amerikaanse pop uit dat wonderjaar.
Radio 68  draait een selectie op zondag 13 en dinsdag 15 augustus vanaf 12 uur.

After the musical deluge called The British Invasion, American pop artists took back control when Hippie became a real force in American society – culminating in the 1967 Summer of Love. Trying to provide a soundtrack to that highly spiritual movement, American pop became experimental, etherical, harder, folkier - adorned with sounds effects. Cherry Red have tried to capture this wide range of sounds onto 3 discs of music, recruiting the stars (Steppenwolf, Vanilla Fudge), the middle men (Strawberry Alarm Clock) and those we have forgotten or never ever heard of (The Id, Summer Snow). A great choice!
Strangely, the label felt the need to add quite some artists who were into Hippie for the money or to refurbish their image. Some, like Captain Beefheart, surely couldn’t have cared less and Tommy Boyce & Booby Hart probably never imagined ending up on a Flower Power compilation. Fortunately, the music is good throughout and good ol’ Tommy Roe actually surprised me. Never mind the official explanation, just get ready for four hours of splendid American pop from that year.
Radio 68  plays choice tracks on Sunday 13 & Tuesday 15 August from 11 a.m. GMT / 12 noon CET onwards
