Comment:
One of the post-punk developments overlooked by Simon Reynolds in his "Rip It Up & Start Again": the early 80's ersatz psychedelic revival.Sure it was ultimately a dead-end but it was fun and added a bit of day-glo technicolor to the peredominantly faded to grey of much of the music that surrounded it.
If nothing else it deserves comemorating for being the seedbed of the peerless "Rubble" series and a taproot of the true psychedelic revival a few years hence -Acid House.
Here's some precursers,a few well- & lesser-known pasticheurs plus at the end, a coupla experimenters for whom the sonic explorations of 65-67 was an irriducable part of their conceptual DNA.

You've made me a very happy man. I've been after tk17 for ages :) Thanks for the link to the full mix, looks great....
Absolutely nothing about the music of Echo, Soft Boys, TVPs, and the Dukes that's a dead-end (they're all fantastic). I always wished I could like the Teardrops, but have never been able to make the leap, mostly due to Mr. Cope's voice and their over-fondness for horn charts. And the Undertones were great *prior* to going in this direction...
I have limited exposure to these, but dig TP, Echo & co and the Dukes o S.
I only know a few of these, but this looks very, very cool - thank you for the download!
Not sure I'd agree with the dead-end bit, but there's no debating the quality of this mix. Splendid. Love the Monsoon pick especially.
