Technicolour Dreaming

Covers and Comps (cover versions and compilations, that is...) pretty much sums up this week's show, with both in abundance! And especially those of the Australian variety, such as "Tomorrow Is Today: A Tribute to the Australian Psychedelic Scene 1966-70" and "Burn Your Fingers On The Sun", two classic double-CD psych comps which are now pretty hard to lay your hands on, unless you get lucky in the second-hand bins. The former release also features a disc of current (at the time) bands covering sixties Australian songs ... details of which can also be found in the accompanying book (of the same title) by Iain McIntyre, which also covers fashion, youth culture and society at large, and is still available from Wakefield Press. Unfortunately not many clips of these bands exist, so in some cases I've included an alternative song to give you an idea, in case you missed the show.
