Revola Rock Machine Turns You On CD

For connoisseurs of obscure girl group pop, psychedelic relics, and soft pop sumptuousness, few if any labels are as consistent or as indefatigably eclectic as Britain's Rev-Ola Founded by Joe Foster, who with Alan McGee spearheaded the legendary Creation imprint, its adherence to top-quality mastering, packaging, and liner notes is a rarity in the run-and-gun reissue market. The label's milestone 200th release, the sampler The Revola Rock Machine Turns You On, spotlights its wealth of underground psych reissues, emphasizing pop hooks and fuzz-drenched guitar solos over more cosmic musical pursuits. While the great Nick Garrie is the only act to earn considerable hipster cachet, the disc as a whole is a delight. Highlights include Octopus' "The River," Mortimer's "Second Floor," and Jawbone's "Jeremiah Dreams." ~ Jason Ankeny
