The British Invasion: The History Of British Rock

A mostly chronological 9-CD compilation of 60's music from The United Kingdom popular in the US in the wake of Beatlemania. The full blurb from Rhino Catalog #16, late 1993, p. 24: "Lord have Mersey! This series offers a panoramic view of the talent and energy that came to be known as The British Invasion - inarguably, one of the most important periods in popular music. Each volume is loaded with chart-busting Top 10 hits, digitally remastered from the original tapes, with many tracks appearing on CD for the first time ever! Each volume in this essential series is available as a 14-track cassette or a 20-track CD." Due to contractual issues, the Rolling Stones and the Who are not represented, and only two very early songs by the Beatles are included.
