Search - Various Artists :: Gypsy Creams & Ginger Nuts - Sounds That

Volume 10 in RPM's Mood Mosaic series, exploring the non traditional outlets for cool sounds of the '60s and '70s. Gypsy Creams & Ginger Nuts pays homage to the record label spawned from Associated Rediffusion TV. A good many young arrangers and session players were cutting their teeth on these sessions, further contributing cracking original tunes. Names that have become legend in loungecore circles such as Harry Stoneham, Pete Moore, Alan Moorhouse and Tony Osborne. Tracks from these albums (and there were many), 187 between 1968 and 1974) have found their way onto various compilations, and vinyl singles for club play down the years. This is the first album compilation however solely focusing on the Rediffusion catalogue and story. With a sleeve essay by the people behind the Licorice Soul label and the excellent Vinyl Vulture web site (recently responsible for the lauded "Working Man's Soul" compilation) Gypsy Creams and Ginger Nuts is a tasty package indeed.
