Issued in 2020, \u003ci\u003eBubblerock Is Here To Stay\u003c\/i\u003e shone a spotlight on the lost and often murky world of early 70s British Pop, a scene largely controlled by old-fashioned, Denmark Street- based production \/ songwriting teams as the Rock world concentrated on the album market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnother four-hour 3CD set, \u003ci\u003eBubblerock Is Here To Stay Volume Two\u003c\/i\u003e treads the same neglected path to deliver more mouldy old dough from the era’s backroom boys: crack songwriting teams (Cook\/Greenaway, Carter\/Lewis, Chinn\/Chapman), hit-or-bust producers (Phil Wainman, Jonathan King), session singers (Tony Burrows, Sue And Sunny), and writers-turned-performers (Lynsey de Paul, Barry Blue, Phillip Goodhand- Tait).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing a number of hits that define the era but have long been swept under the carpet of critical\/collector cool: Slade’s first major single, Brotherhood Of Man’s anthemic ‘United We Stand’, Lieutenant Pigeon’s novelty chart-topper plus Top Ten 45s from de Paul, Gilbert O’Sullivan, Middle Of The Road, The Pipkins, Greyhound, Judge Dread, Marmalade and Blue Mink.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluding numerous fascinating obscurities: Jesus Christ Superstar lyricist Tim Rice channels his inner Del Shannon, the mysterious Kidrock pick up the kinder-pop baton from Mark Wirtz, Raw Holly cut an LP of Buddy Holly songs in a more contemporary musical setting, and a Midlands-based harmony pop act look to break their chart duck by raiding The Grateful Dead songbook.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoined by late 60s underground renegades attempting to snag a hit single (Fairfield Parlour, Velvet Opera) and sundry one-off studio aliases (Smoky Forbes, Helicopter, the Elaine Paige-assisted Hooters), ‘Bubblerock Is Here To Stay Volume Two’ is another opportunity to wallow in the sounds of what one reviewer of the first volume warily described as “dubious pop”.
