① is

The first in the British RPM Girl Compilation series. It's a luxurious production that makes generous use of Capitol/EMI sound sources. When you think of EMI, you think of Mark Wurtz, and he's included in it. The last song is Peanut's "I Didn't Love Him Anyway," and it's a masterpiece that truly lives up to the name of dream pop! The mid-60s recordings of Madeline Bell and Samantha Jones are also gutsy and great. The "British Wall of Sound" production is also prominent. 』

② is,

"The second British girl pop compilation by Bob Stanley of Saint Etienne. The 22 songs selected from EMI labels were recorded in various periods from 1962 to 1971, and the arrangements are diverse, but they are all pop and catchy. It includes tracks by Elkie Brooks and the Levi Breakers (which includes Beverley, who reunited with them in recent years), and also includes tracks that will please enthusiasts, and there are many discoveries of songs by relatively major singers such as Helen Japiro, Samantha Jones, and Jackie Lee.

③ is,

"The British 60's girl pop duo 'Dream Babies', familiar to oldies fans. The third volume was distributed domestically by MSI with a bilingual liner note in English. The feature of this volume is that it mainly includes music produced by independent producers and music publishers. Joe Meek's cheerful collaboration with Riot Squad and Glenda Collins (9). Mark Wirtz, who is also popular among soft rock fans, founded Colinio Productions, which is heavily influenced by Phil Spector, and Katie Kissoon, who later became active as a duo with her brother Mac, released a work under the name Peanut. In addition, there is a parade of excellent works that were unfortunate enough not to achieve commercial success, such as Carter & Lewis (5) by the Scottish sister duo McKinlays, released by Ivy Productions, run by Terry Kennedy, who was also the manager of the music publisher Southern Music. It is a series of impressions and surprises. ”

④ is,

“The fourth in the series that can be called the best without exaggeration. A parade of sweet melodies/beautiful melodies! Three songs by the popular group Orchids! And all the songs are killer tunes! Good! Since this is a younger release than the previous three, the sound trends have changed considerably, with more soulful and rock-like sounds, and it can be enjoyed with a soft rock ear rather than the so-called 60's style girl pop. Among them, I would highly recommend Paula Parfitt's 'Love Is Wonderful'! Ross Hannaman's 'Down Through Summer', Mark Wertz's former wife! The Breakaways' 'I Can Hear Music'!'

⑤ is,

The fifth volume of the collection of British girl singers from the 60s edited by St. Etienne's frontman Bob Stanley and others focuses on folk rock. It is said that the emergence of Marianne Faithfull in the mid-60s boosted the rise of female folk singers, but ⑭, ⑰, and ⑲, produced by Tony Calder, the same man who produced Faithfull, are works that stand out for their elegant melodies and tasteful folk-pop arrangements. ④, a British recording by American Jackie DeShannon, who wrote these three songs, is orthodox folk rock, with impressive punchy singing. Caravels singing over a Spector-like sound in ①, and Ye Ye Girl singer Gillian Wells singing sweetly in ② are also impressive. But what is most impressive here are the works with a simple taste that can be called folk itself. Vashti Bunian's rare ⑨⑬, the unknown Sionore Drewry's ⑩⑫, and Ruth's ⑳... These are also part of the 'deep forest'. The more you listen, the more you are drawn in. '

⑥ is

"The 'Dream Babes' series, a well-known compilation of precious recordings of British female singers from the 1960s. This time, from 1966 to 1971, the product of the turbulent era after Swinging London, the lineup is a hodgepodge of gorgeous soul, psychedelic, and sugar pop. The album starts with a bright Motown-style pop-soul track ①, penned by Gallagher Lyle. ⑥ is a gorgeous soul number that rivals Dusty Springfield, and ⑬ is a beat pop number with a punchy voice that rivals Lulu. ②, ⑨, ⑩, and ⑪ are bright MOR-style pop songs that are typical of works from around the 1970s. There are also six songs that involve Val McKenna, and of these, ⑤, ⑭, and ⑳ were actually recorded by Ministry of Sound, a project by singer/composer John Carter. This is the first time they have seen the light of day, and I was surprised at how rock-oriented they are. ”

From the liner notes of Akihide Nakamura, September 2005 issue of Record Collectors

⑦ is,

“By the time of this 2007 release, the Dream Babes series had developed into something surprisingly extensive, proving the existence of far more female-sung 1960s British pop/rock than even most British rock experts had realized. Like other genre series that mine mountains of seemingly endless obscurity, it is more impressive for its quantity than its quality. Still, like its predecessor, Beat Chic: Dream Babes, Vol. 7 offers a wide range of material from the 60s (1962-1967 in this CD's case), drawing from girl group, soul pop, and pop/rock styles, with occasional influences from the guitar-oriented British Invasion sound. 22 tracks is certainly not a safe choice. Billy Davis and Goldie & the Gingerbread are the only artists who will be fairly recognizable to collectors, and even those acts are not automatically familiar to most vintage rock fans. Fans of the mainstream mid-60s British pop/rock sound will enjoy this material for the production values it typically represents, but there isn't much in the way of catching performances or songs. Some of the more notable items include Polly Perkins' energetic novelty "You Can Be a Beatle Too"; Goldie & the Gingerbread's rather disappointingly mild "Can't You Hear My Heartbeat," a hit in the US for Herman's Hermits; Dani Sheridan's very good interpretation of "Guess I'm Dumb," co-written by Brian Wilson and originally recorded in the US by Glen Campbell; and Honeybus fans will also want to note the inclusion of three previously unreleased Christine Holmes songs, co-written by Pete Delo and Ray Cain.'
