Diggin' In The Goldmine (2lp/black)
'DUTCH BEAT NUGGETS' - In the 1960s, the Netherlands had one of the most vibrant and creatively fertile music scenes on the planet. A beat music explosion triggered a full-blown youth revolution, transforming the country forever. A uniquely Dutch strain of rock and pop music -Nederbiet- was its soundtrack. Hundreds of Dutch beat, pop, blues, and psychedelic records were released between 1965 and 1969, and the overall quality was extremely high. Released in tandem with the 8CD box set of the same name, 'Diggin' In The Goldmine: Dutch Beat Nuggets' is a 2LP collection presenting 32 outstanding examples of the Dutch Beat sound, encompassing sweet, melodic beat and pop, raunchy garage and rhythm & blues, fuzz-powered mod and early psychedelic freakouts. All of these hard-to-find single releases are sourced from the original masters in their original mono mixes. This action-packed collection is packaged in a beautiful gatefold cover, the inside depicting all of the original picture sleeves. 'Dutch Beat Nuggets' presents thousands of euros worth of Dutch Beat splendour in one affordable double vinyl package. Black vinyl version. SIDE 1: 1.
