When The Alarm Clock Rings: A Compendium Of British Psychedelia 1966-1969

The set features major underground names (Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Blossom Toes, Dantalian’s Chariot, John’s Children), cult 45s (The Voice, Paper Blitz Tissue, The Syn), future legends (Alex Harvey, Genesis, Greg Lake’s early venture The Shame) and pop groups who occasionally turned dayglo (The Merseys, Plastic Penny, Picadilly Line).

Limited to 1000 copies and containing Grapefruit’s trademark combination of photos and annotation on stylish 12” x 12” inserts, ‘When The Alarm Clock Rings’ is an essential purchase for vinyl aficionados and a tantalising taster of further plastic platters!
