Features all of their singles as well as a huge number of demo recordings, including 20 tracks now gaining a first-ever issue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter being signed by producer and songwriter Tony Macaulay, North London harmony pop group \u003cstrong\u003eWest Coast Consortium\u003c\/strong\u003e issued a handful of sophisticated, lushly-orchestrated late Sixties singles for Pye. In the spring of 1969, they reached the No. 22 spot in the UK singles chart with the ballad \u003cem\u003e‘All The Love In The World’\u003c\/em\u003e, issued under the abbreviated name \u003cem\u003eConsortium\u003c\/em\u003e. Unable to build on that success, the band splintered in 1972, although lead singer Robbie Fair would put together an entirely new Consortium line-up a few years later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA 3CD set, \u003cem\u003eAll The Love In The World\u003c\/em\u003e features all of their Pye releases as well as subsequent recordings for the short-lived Trend label and no less than four acetate-only 1967-1969 albums recorded in the band’s home studio. These demo recordings reveal them to have been a garage psychedelic pop band at heart, utilising Mellotron, fuzz guitar and Vox Continental organ while also suggesting a parallel debt to the lo-fi, DIY approach of ‘Smiley Smile’\/‘Friends’-era Beach Boys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile some of these recordings have been issued before, this package sees the first-ever release of twenty additional tracks to provide the first-ever complete anthology of a band that deserve better than to be remembered as one-hit wonders.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grapefruit","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50432114262347,"sku":"2164866","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/West-Coast-Consortium-jpeg_6fdd6048_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726863674","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/all-the-love-in-the-world-complete-recordings-1964-1972","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
