Our Take

Step right up, folks, and join the musical circus that is "Come Join My Orchestra - The British Baroque Pop Sound 1967-73." This compilation album is a wild ride through the whimsical world of British baroque pop, featuring a smorgasbord of talented artists from the swinging '60s and groovy '70s.

From the orchestral majesty of The Zombies to the psychedelic swirl of The Left Banke, this collection showcases the eclectic and innovative sounds that defined an era. Each track is a sonic journey filled with lush strings, intricate arrangements, and catchy hooks that will have you tapping your toes and bobbing your head in no time.

Highlights include the infectious melodies of The Kinks' "Village Green Preservation Society" and the haunting vocals of Vashti Bunyan's "Train Song." These songs transport you to a time when music was a magical escape from the drudgery of everyday life.

So grab your top hat and tails, dust off your monocle, and immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of sounds that make up "Come Join My Orchestra." This album is a must-listen for any fan of British pop music and a delightful journey through a musical landscape that is as vibrant and eclectic as ever. Don't miss out on this musical extravaganza - come one, come all, and join the orchestra today!
