Comment:

A selection of some of my favourite British artists from the late 60's & Early 70's. Some fairly underrated (In my humble opinion)artists, and some fairly well-known. I spent the early 80's catching up with this stuff, and as a result, missed the whole new romantic movement. Which do you think I prefer? I know, I know, I missed the new psych movement too, and only now, am I catching up with that! It's great to be 20 years out of date! Enjoy.

Who (with the possible exception of Bakerloo) might be the "fairly underrated" artiste(s) here? At least I couldn't detect any . . . Nonetheless, this is a delectable bunch of golden oldies, sir.

What I should have said, Thomas, is "not often seen", like Family and The Incredible String Band, and Lindisfarne.
