Review:
Rhino's nine-volume British Invasion:
The History of British Rock is the most exhaustive and essential overview of '60s British pop/rock available.
Although the collection doesn't include tracks from the Beatles , the Rolling Stones , the Who , Herman's Hermits, the Dave Clark Five, and the early Animals , their absence doesn't hurt the series, since it spotlights several artists who never had more than a handful of hits, plus many forgotten gems.
And there are plenty of major acts here, as well: The Kinks , the Small Faces, the Yardbirds, Donovan , the Hollies, the Zombies, the Spencer Davis Group, the Searchers, Manfred Mann , and Them are all represented by their best-known tracks.
The collection runs from the beginnings of Merseybeat to the aftermath of psychedelia, meaning that it chronicles the evolution of British pop/rock quite effectively.
But The History of British Rock shouldn't be thought of as simply an educational overview of one of the most vital eras of pop; each volume is fun and exciting, and sounds more like a good time than a history lesson.
The series is one of the cornerstones of any comprehensive pop/rock collection.
