Psychedelic South African Rock 1968-1972. This collection brings together rarities
from well-known artists like Abstract Truth, Suck, Otis Waygood, Freedom's Children,
John & Philipa Cooper, McCully Workshop and Hawk, as well as lesser known acts like
Buzzard, The Fireflies, The Idiots, Tidal Wave, and The Invaders. Although the South
African rock movement of the late sixties and early seventies was not a major
commercial success, its participants heralded an exciting new age in South African
rock and started a movement aimed at changing the musical tastes of fans in a
spectacular way. Stadium concerts became the vehicle for feeding the youth with
heavier rock sounds, and behind studio glass were producers like Clive Calder, Billy
Forrest, Graham Beggs and Selwyn Miller who acted as change agents to transform
conventional pop into heavier 4 to 5 minute songs. The movement's struggle for
recognition through airplay remained unanswered and only the true fans of rock knew
about their existence. Licensed by the Fresh Music label in South Africa and available
on vinyl for the first time, complete with insert and liner notes.
