These 25 tracks have been culled from a host of mid-'60s artists on the U.K.-based Decca Records label as part of their critically and enthusiastically lauded "Decca Originals" series. Each thematic entry gathers hard-to-locate tunes by a variety of lesser-known acts. The Beat Scene concentrates on groups stylistically akin to the early to mid '60s British Invasion beat bands. However, unlike the Beatles, the Dave Clark Five, or any of their other internationally renowned contemporaries, many of the acts featured here had comparatively nominal, if any, success outside of Europe.(AMG) 01 - The Poets - I Love Her Still 02 - The Game - Gonna Get Me Someone 03 - Thee - Each & Every Day 04 - The Mighty Avengers - (Walking Thru' The) Sleepy City 05 - Shel Naylor - It's Gonna Happen Soon 06 - Joe Cocker - I'll Cry Instead 07 - Beat Boys - Third Time Lucky 08 - The Mark Four - Hurt Me If You Will 09 - Sandra Barry & The Boys - Really Gonna Shake 10 - Lulu & The Luvvers - Surprise Surprise 11 - The Mojos - Everything's Alright 12 - The Beat Chics - Now I Know 13 - Pete Best Four - I'm Gonna Knock On Your Door 14 - The Warriors - Don't Make Me Blue 15 - The Marauders - That's What I Want 16 - The Brooks - Once In A While 17 - Rick & Sandy - Lost My Girl 18 - Unit 4+2 - I Was Only Playing Games 19 - Tierneys Fugitives - Did You Want To Run Away 20 - The Mockingbirds - One By One 21 - The Rockin' Berries - Itty Bitty Pieces 22 - The Knack - Who'll Be The Next In Line 23 - Brian Poole & The Tremeloes - Keep On Dancing 24 - The Hi Numbers - Heart Of Stone 25 - The Andrew Oldham Orchestra - Da Doo Ron Ron LINK
