Various – Time! Gentlemen! Pub Rock Rhythm 'N' Grooves 1974-1982 (3CD) (New CD)
72-track 3CD box set containing four hours of both groove-laden and downright rocking music from the (mostly London) Pub Rock scene's heyday of the mid-1970s through to the early 80s. In some respects, a lavish follow-up to Grapefruit's highly successful 2019 ‘Surrender To The Rhythm’ set which highlighted pub rock's pioneers, ‘Time! Gentlemen!’ features a selection of cuts from many of the usual suspects of the genre such as Brinsley Schwarz, Dr. Feelgood, Chilli Willi And The Red Hot Peppers, and Kokomo, but excitingly, goes beyond the usual fare by including some of their lesser-known gems. Not only a virtual treasure trove of great 70s rock, the set also covers the scene's "new" talent, such as Elvis Costello, Squeeze, Nick Lowe, Graham Parker, and The Stranglers, to name but a few. In covering pub rock from the mid-70s onwards, other musical styles also start to exert their influence on the acts featured, so there's also evidence of punk, new wave, the mod revival. and even a little reggae in addition to huge helpings of straight-ahead classic rock, good old rock 'n' roll, rollicking R&B, and a dash of Brit soulfulness, of course.
