Deluxe compilation of the finest moments of the él label. Sumptuously packaged and incorporating historical highpoints (Shockheaded Peters' I Bloodbrother Be, King Of Luxembourg's Valleri, Nicky by Momus). Supplemented by qulaity unreleased material and intriguing suggestions of what the future might have held from aborted projects involving Japanese teenybop chart-toppers Flipper's Guitar and children's group Hunky Dory. By all accounts the perfect entry point to the él world. A richly rewarding experience.

| The Changing of the Guard is a unique music and dialogue sound collage of Swinging London in 1968; a time of exciting developments in all the artistic fields and a time when England set cultural standards that the world is still trying to emulate. Protagonists central to the scene are included here: Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones discussing revolution; his manager Andrew Loog Oldham explaining business philosophy; the young Michael Caine debating morals in the context of the permissive society; Julie Christie on fame and Lee Marvin on Mini cars and mini skirts! The dialogue is edited against brilliant historic London pop of the period: big hits such as The Small Face's 'Itchychoo Park' and 'Here Come The Nice', Chris Farlowe's memorable number one 'Out of Time', 'If Paradise is Half as Nice' by The Amen Corner and mercurial psychedelia; The Marquis of Kensington, Fleur De Lys, Duncan Browne, Billy Nicholls and the first line up of Humble Pie featuring Steve Marriott and the Face Of 1968 - Peter Frampton. Special mention too for an early song from Vashti! The success of Andrew Oldham's two recent autobiographies, confirms that there has never been more fascination with the period, even if some of it is nostalgia for what we have subsequently unfortunately lost.

Psychedelic is the third in the series of Mike Alway compiled and designed theme compilations on El Records. Following on from a resurgence of interest in the Psychedelic movement, the album features contributions from the King Of Luxembourg, Loveletter, Would Be Goods and Bad Dream Fancy Dress. The style of the El artists dovetails well with the fascinating historical eccentricities of the RPM label, who are represented here by artists including Harmony Grass, Tony Rivers and the Castaways and Spencer Davis. Everything But The Girl’s Tracey Thorn also appears with her beautifully downbeat and sensuous performance of the Nico / Velvet Underground masterpiece "Femme Fatale" and her cover of the Bid / Monochrome Set composition "Goodbye Joe", released here or the fist time in 15 years and for the first time ever on CD.

| SFTJS quickly became a college radio hit right across america, going top ten on both the CMJ and GAVIN national charts and enjoying immumerable sales. The record was produced by bid of the monochrome set. The album features - amongst the list of artists created for the occasion - the schoolgirl psychedelic group Fantastic Everlasting Gobstopper, a superb pop boy around town called loveletter played by the king of Luxembourg and the wonderfully understated Milky, a strange and irresistable essay in modern sensuality written and performed by Shazna Currie and her husband Nick (aka Momus).

The genre that is Sunshine Pop is luxury without ostentation, a tastefully dressed world of imagination and escapism that is hardly less than a pop phenomenon in Japan whilst rising incredibly fast in America.

Includes Interview CD with Mike Alway & Alan McGee This album is the very best, definitive and absolute final word on the legend of EL Records. The album features the cream of El recording artists from Monochrome Set through to Marden Hill and Momus. Whilst only a critical and Japanese success in the Eighties, El is without doubt the name to drop today. EL Records has significantly influenced the likes of Beck, Pulp, Bis, Kenickie and Pizzicato 5. The package also includes a bonus disc, a 75 minute discussion between label influence Mike Alway, Cherry Red founder Iain McNay and Head of Creation Records Alan McGee who attests to the influence El Records had on him and his artists. This album really should not be missed as it really is the final chapter of El Records.
