Includes the complete 1960s recordings by cult psychedelic group Ruperts People and their earlier incarnation Sweet Feeling.
Features three songs recorded live in London in 1969 plus another four from their triumphant reunion gig at Hastings Mod Rally in 1999.
All three rare and brilliant singles released under the Ruperts People name by Columbia Records are included. The first Ruperts People 45 Reflections Of Charles Brown backed with Hold On was actually recorded by mod group Fleur De Lys under a pseudonym. When a band was needed to promote the single, Sweet Feeling (whod already recorded the original version of the A side) took over the Ruperts People name and with an expanded line up released two superb 45s that coupled the psychedelic pop A sides A Prologue To A Magic World and I Can Show You with the powerful, driving Dream In My Mind and The Beatles influenced Ive Got The Love respectively.
Found on an acetate, the late 60s recording Water to A Stone was produced by Beatles roadie Mal Evans.
German B side Love/Opus 193 is issued on CD for the first time while the fabulous bonus track Flying High in 67 built on a 1967 instrumental found on acetate and finally completed by the reformed band in an analogue studio in 2012 is previously unreleased.
Sleeve notes by MOJO magazines Lois Wilson draw from a new interview with Ruperts Peoples bassist and sometimes songwriter Ray Beverley.
