West Coast Consortium - All The Love In The World: Complete Recordings 1964-1972
Complete Recordings 1964-1972 3-CD Holland Popular âą Complete 3CD anthology of harmony pop band who had a Top 30 UK single in 1969 with âAll The Love In The Worldâ. âą Features all of their singles as well as a huge number of demo recordings, including 20 tracks now gaining a first-ever issue. After being signed by producer and songwriter Tony Macaulay, North London harmony pop group West Coast Consortium issued a handful of sophisticated, lushly-orchestrated late Sixties singles for Pye. In the spring of 1969, they reached the No. 22 spot in the UK singles chart with the ballad âAll The Love In The Worldâ, issued under the abbreviated name Consortium. Unable to build on that success, the band splintered in 1972, although lead singer Robbie Fair would put together an entirely new Consortium line-up a few years later. A 3CD set, âAll The Love In The Worldâ features all of their Pye releases as well as subsequent recordings for the short-lived Trend label and no less than four acetate-only 1967-1969 albums recorded in the bandâs home studio. These demo recordings reveal them to have been a garage psychedelic pop band at heart, utilising Mellotron, fuzz guitar and Vox Continental organ while also suggesting a parallel debt to the lo-fi, DIY approach of âSmiley Smileâ/âFriendsâ-era Beach Boys. While some of these recordings have been issued before, this package sees the first-ever release of twenty additional tracks to provide the first-ever complete anthology of a band that deserve better than to be remembered as one-hit wonders.Â
