'COME & SEE ME is a double CD of 60’s female Beat, Mod, Northern Soul and Psych from the world’s greatest musical melting pot - Australia and New Zealand.
This collection is based on the successful RPM Records 'Dream Babes' series which ran for 8 volumes, and is a must have addition for all collectors of that series.
The accompanying 20 page booklet is bristling with colour and excitement to match the tone of the music. With rare photos and great stories, this is a detailed insight into a fascinating adjunct to the 60’s Femme Pop genre.
Whilst cutting their own sounds the ‘down under’ scene also naturally drew on musical influences from the US and UK. The cross pollination with the UK inevitable following the gigantic migration during the 50’s and 60’s, with two of the biggest names, Sandy Edmonds and Lynne Randell, born in Liverpool. Others went on to have further careers in the UK.
The tracks on COME & SEE ME are taken from a wide range of labels ; from the Aus-NZ branches of the larger companies such as Philips, CBS, EPIC, HMV , Polydor to the successful indies Festival , Impact, Viking , Astor ,Sunshine, Zodiac , Allied International, GO , Clarion and more. Yet via this collection mostly released outside Aus-NZ for the first time.
All tracks hard to find these days. 11 tracks also released on CD for the first time, with one more previously unreleased altogether.
This is the second in RPM’s series of collaborations with Frenzy Productions in New Zealand following the Larry’s Rebels album. Created and Produced by Aus-NZ music expert Grant Gillanders. Grant’s ‘Quin-Tiki’s’ collection is currently no.1 in the NZ album charts.
