LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Mixed Up Minds Volume 13 offers another tantalising dose of forgotten dreams from the suburban drifts of Britain. In the aftermath of psychedelia, and in a less flamboyant 1970s, fading stars continued to shine as brightly, but to little acclaim. Amidst the glam rock and progressive bourgeoisie, pop songs knew their place, but for every T-Rex, 10cc, Bowie and Queen, there was a more unlucky and less commercial other, sat in the underbelly of pomp and hysteria. Part 13 collects together 20 gems that were cruelly denied their crown first time round.
