An absolute masterclass that rocks for the b-boys, the fly girls and anyone within 2 feet of the dancefloor.

Features all of their singles (including pseudonymous releases), numerous demos, previously - unreleased recordings and BBC sessions. After serving an apprenticeship on the mid - 60s Hertfordshire beat scene, The Mirage became house band at Beatles’ publisher Dick James' Oxford Street demo studio. After forming a friendship with The Hollies, The Mirage cut a couple of singles for CBS before James and his regular business partner, Kinks \/ Troggs manager Larry Page, oversaw the band's subsequent, heavily Beatles - influenced releases on the Philips and Page One labels. The Mirage then moved over to Mervyn Conn 's Carnaby label, where they cut a single as Portebello Explosion before releasing a 1970 album under the name Jawbone. A lavish 3CD digipack set, \u003ci\u003eThe World Goes On Around You\u003c\/i\u003e is the first - ever complete Mirage anthology, featuring all of their singles, the Jawbone album, numerous studio out - takes, alternative versions and BBC sessions.
