Reissued compilation shines light on Decca's heavier psychedelic era

Following on from their PSYCH! British Prog, Rock, Folk & Blues 1966-1973 collection which was released in June, Decca Records are reissuing their 1998 CD collection The Psychedelic Scene on vinyl for the very first time on October 4.

The new set overlooks the so-called 'toytown' psych favoured by the Deram label, Decca's prog and psych offshoot, and explored a more substantial psychedelic sound from bands such as the Moody Blues , Al Stewart , Small Faces and The Syn, as well as more obscure fare from the likes of Tintern Abbey, The Societie, Garden Odyssey Enterprise, Keith Shields and more...

The Psychedelic Scene will be available as a double 12-inch colour vinyl release for the first time, containing a four-sided information sheet with the original liner notes, replicating the original album CD package.
