Although the South African rock movement of the late sixties and early seventies was not a major commercial success, its participants heralded an exciting new age in South African rock and started a movement aimed at changing the musical tastes of fans in a spectacular way. Stadium concerts became the vehicle for feeding the youth with heavier rock sounds, and behind studio glass were producers like Clive Calder, Billy Forrest, Graham Beggs and Selwyn Miller who acted as change agents to transform conventional pop into heavier 4 to 5 minute songs. The movement's struggle for recognition through airplay remained unanswered and only the true fans of rock knew about their existence. Available on vinyl for the first time, complete with insert and liner notes. https://www.shinybeast.nl/public/newsletters/20181220_27650_5dc013682.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LSD 69002 V / A SUNLIGHT GLIDE LP 05.2020 ('15 FLOWER POWER TRIPPERS FROM THE 60S & 70S') SIDE 1: 1.
