It goes without saying that 1968 doesn't have the same kind of cachet as 1967 - a year that, in musical terms, will always be indelibly associated with the Summer of Love, Sgt Pepper and the emergence of psychedelia. But although the major players turned away from the excesses of the previous year in favour of a back-to-basics musical approach, there were arguably a greater number of psychedelic records made in 1968 than during the preceding twelve months. All these and more are gathered on Looking At The Pictures In The Sky, which provide a fascinating overview of the group scene in Britain (and Ireland!) in 1968, shining a light on unreleased gems, cult classics, choice album cuts, neglected B-sides and alternative versions.

1967 was undoubtedly the high-water mark of the era, but the psychedelic genre’s influence lingered for some while afterwards. Nevertheless, there were significant changes during that period, and by the end of the decade the British music scene had largely polarised into two distinct camps: the influence of the counterculture saw the burgeoning college/university circuit grow as serious pop evolved into rock, while the more exploitative, commercial element of the industry reacted to the success of manufactured bands like The Monkees. Following on from Let’s Go Down and Blow Our Minds and Looking at the Pictures in the Sky – two similar box-sets that covered 1967 and 1968 respectively – this new collection from David Wells’ Grapefruit label sets out to explore The British Psychedelic Sounds Of 1969.

The buzz remains strong with this third Grapefruit anthology of trippy British psychedelic po. The set continues from previous Grapefruit Records releases Let's Go Down and Blow Our Minds: The British Psychedelic Sounds of 1967 and Looking at the Pictures in the Sky: The British Psychedelic Sounds of 1968, offering, like those, three CDs of music from the year in question accompanied by a booklet of brief but excellent liner notes and period artwork. By the collective evidence of these sets, it could appear that every British youth between the ages of 17 and 22 was in a band of some sort during this period; there are so many vibrant, if fleeting, talents gathered here.
