Like a Party at Austin Power's Pad

"This disc is so groovy it's hard to imagine a party happening prior to its release. Created by the experienced professionals of the Blow Up club in London, flying with this album is like being with the most veteran pilot: your pleasure and safety are 100% assured. All of the mostly obscure songs are upbeat and fun, all sound like they're from a super shaggy late 60s party. But there's a lot of variety: most tracks are instrumental, some are vocal; most are vintage late 60s, but some are supercool current retro artists like band-to-watch Big Boss Man. The disc is SOAKED with righteous Hammond organ and swinging tamborine. Dig it!"
Yeah Baby!

"Zip up your go-go boots and glue on them false eyelashes! Once you put this on, you will be instantly transported to those go-go days in the ever so wild and wacky mid sixties.Some of the hilites are:"House of Bamboo' - Andy Williams-mambo classic with a tropics twist."The Beat Goes On"-Buddy Rich-wow can't say enough about this Sonny and Cher classic redux with a jazzy vegas swing!"Blow-Up a Go-Go"-have no idea who it's buy, but you will want to plaster yourself with body pain, jump in a go-go cage and say "sock it to me"."I'm a Man"-Spencer Davis Group, have no clue why exactly this is here but , yeah it works.There are many other swingin' go-go tunes as well as some psychedelic sounds with a touch of funk on this CD. Should you ever have a party that seems a bit flat...slide this baby in and turn on that black light!!"
Play this Friday nite to bring on the weekend

"I first heard this CD round at a guys house who I hardly knew, and managed to look like a wierdo for all the foot tapping that I was doing. This cd gets me moving, puts my party hat on and gets me grooving. Funky 70s sounds that are still alive and very well today are pulled together in many forms, from James Clarke's well known blow-up a go-go, to the funky groovy and swinging Psychedelic Sally. I absolutely love this CD! Buy it and play it real LOUD - the neighbours will love it!"
