[CD / 60s / Pop, Rock, Psych] Celebration of the mid-60s Swinging London scene at it's brash, colourful zenith. A cornucopia of club-friendly mod R&B/soul, era-defining pop hits and cult TV/film themes as England swung like a pendulum do. In April 1966, American magazine Time ran a front- page feature, captioned You Can Walk Across It On The Grass, that proclaimed London to be the most swinging city in the world and leader of contemporary pop culture. The concept of Swinging London - a zeitgeist-capturing collision of the most daring fashions, the coolest actors/models, the grooviest pop music - had already been fermenting for a year or two, but Time's feature propelled it from well-kept local secret to internationally-acknowledged phenomenon. Over four hours and three CDs, this set documents a scene that, 60 years later, still grips the public's imagination. From the notorious Profumo affair that brought down the Government and ended the age of deference to Bobby Moore accepting a still-gleaming Jules Rimet Trophy from Queen Elizabeth in the high summer of 1966, it celebrates a period in which Carnaby Street and the King's Road seemed to be the centre of the universe. With a 48-page booklet that features some fabulous Swinging London images, You Can Walk Across It On The Grass is a nostalgia-inducing time capsule of the original Cool Brittania era.
