    (Top Sounds TSSCD 012)

    Brand new limited edition 28-track CD—only 500 copies pressed!

    During the mid to late 1960s the Modern Music Centre in London welcomed hundreds of aspirant hopefuls through its doors at 86 Turnham Green Terrace in Chiswick. Over seventy acetates at least on the studio's own label are known to exist but the fact that few have ever been released has ensured the studio remains a largely forgotten venture. Its relatively prolific output of discs however has enabled a most entertaining expedition with "Faces From The Dark", from singular beat to unhinged psychedelia, amidst a good measure of fuzz-out frazzles, including some dynamite originals alongside top versions of classics originally by Cream, The Byrds, Spirit, Pretty Things, Downliners Sect, Jason Crest, Jefferson Airplane and many more.

    "Faces From The Dark" is a CD-only compilation featuring 28 tracks (of which only 3 have been previously released) and all have been restored to the best possible standards, expertly packaged in a beautiful hardback digibook-style sleeve with integral 64-page booklet.

    Factory-sealed from new, direct from the label.
