Come & See Me - Dream Babes & Rock Chicks from Down Under 1961 - 1971
is a double CD of 60s female Beat, Mod, Northern Soul, Folk and Psych from the
worlds greatest musical melting pot - Australia and New Zealand. This
collection see’s the best of the Kiwi girl singers from the 60s rubbing
shoulders with their Australian contemporaries and is based on the very
successful RPM Records (UK) ‘Dream Babes’ series which ran for 8 volumes. The
accompanying Pop - Art styled 20 page booklet is bristling with colour and
excitement to match the tone of the music. With rare photos, great stories and
sprinkled with period radio ads from some of the featured girls, including a
Mary Quant ad from Rochelle Vinsen who was allowed to pick two of the latest
Mary Quant styles as payment. This is a detailed insight into a fascinating
adjunct to the 60’s Femme Pop genre. Whilst cutting their own sounds the
‘down under’ scene also naturally drew on musical influences from the US and the
UK. The cross pollination with the UK was inevitable following the gigantic
migration to both countries during the 50’s and 60’s, with performers from
Liverpool, London, Glasgow and New York sharing centre stage with the abundant
local talent. Via this collection most of the tracks appear outside of
Australia and New Zealand for the first time, while 11 tracks appear on CD for
the first time including an unreleased single from one of Australasia’s biggest
stars, Dinah Lee. The tracks on 'Come & See Me' are taken from a wide
range of labels ; from the Australasian branches of the larger companies such as
Philips, CBS, HMV, Polydor to the successful indies Festival, Zodiac, Impact,
Viking, Astor, Sunshine, Allied International, GO, Kommotion, Clarion and
more.
