A surprisingly strong collection of mid-'60s sides from British Decca, which was never perceived as that strong a label. Prepared by two experts from New Musical Express, this features the expected sides from Small Faces, Bowie, and the Zombies, but also all the blues (Alexis Korner, Cyril Davies), punk (Rocking Vickers), and psychedelic acts (Honeybus) that never made it here.
