“The Irish Rock Rebellion 1963 - 1970” The Explosive Sounds of Dublin, Belfast and Beyond!

• Brand New and Sealed
• Deluxe 5CD Box Set, with over 130 tracks!
• Full-colour 88 page, perfect bound booklet with detailed liner notes and rare images

Particles proudly presents the first ever box set anthology of Ireland’s 1960s rock music scene. Only two long-out-of-print compilations have ever emerged to profile Ireland’s rock roots, making this anthology doubly inviting! From the R&B/blues scene in Belfast to the late 1960s psychedelia of Dublin, People! Let’s Freak Out reveals a wider account of the beat scene, and its transition into psychedelia and blues rock.

While Ireland has never been given equal acclaim to that of its neighbouring England, it nevertheless produced some of the most iconic and influential bands of the period. As Van Morrison and Them were leaving Belfast for London, a slew of new hopefuls arrived to establish their own niche under the nose of the dominant showband scene. Compiled here, are 125 original recordings featuring various groups from Eire and Northern Ireland, some of whom went on to huge success in the 1970’s. From Ian Whitcomb to Eire Apparent, The Bye-Laws to the Belfast Gypsies and Gentry to Sugar Shack, People! Let’s Freak Out is a fascinating account of Ireland’s more obscure and vibrant music scene of the 1960s. Spanning five discs with rare and previously unreleased recordings, a plethora of memorabilia and expansive liners housed in an 88 page full colour booklet, People! Let’s Freak Out offers an excellent companion to similar anthologies such as Nuggets, Rubble and Buried Alive!!
