Big hits and intriguing misses from some of the biggest acts and most prominent writing\/ production teams of the era. In 1967, British pop radio underwent a seismic change when the pirate stations that had ruled the airwaves over the previous couple of years were declared illegal by an Act of Parliament and replaced by a national station controlled by publicly-funded broadcaster the BBC. The arrival of Radio 1 saw the British pop scene remade in the station's own image, with a new wave of songwriting and production teams competing to create bright, brassy, relentlessly upbeat tracks that would be embraced by Radio 1's all-important playlist. While The Love Affair, The Herd, The Tremeloes and The Foundations were among the groups who made the headlines, the key figures were really the backroom auteurs: names like Tony Macaulay, Howard Blaikley and arranger Keith Mansfield were all integral to the new, homogenised pop radio sound. 'All Things Bright And Beautiful: The UK Pop Explosion' is a 3CD, four-hour celebration of this pivotal period in British pop history, with a huge number of key hits - including several featured in the opening hour of Radio 1's first broadcast - joined by more minor successes and some 45s that received considerable airplay but nevertheless failed to make the grade. Housed in Grapefruit's standard clamshell box packaging with a 48-page booklet and track- by-track annotation, it's another essential purchase for any late 60s pop aficionado.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc 1\u003cbr\u003e1 Flowers in the Rain - The Move\u003cbr\u003e2 Simon Smith \u0026amp; the Amazing Dancing Bear - Alan Price Set\u003cbr\u003e3 You're All Things Bright and Beautiful - Neil Christian\u003cbr\u003e4 I Live for the Sun - Vanity Fare\u003cbr\u003e5 Smokey Blue's Away - A New Generation\u003cbr\u003e6 Baby Now That I've Found You -The Foundations\u003cbr\u003e7 Thanks - J.
