Nevertheless, there were significant changes during that period, and by the end of the decade the British music scene had largely polarized into two distinct camps: the influence of the counterculture saw the burgeoning college\/university circuit grow as \"serious\" pop evolved into rock, while the more exploitative, commercial element of the industry reacted to the success of manufactured bands like The Monkees to instigate a sub-genre dismissively dubbed bubblegum. That dichotomy saw the British pop and rock scene exhibit a strong element of musical schizophrenia, as can be heard on Try A Little Sunshine: The British Psychedelic Sounds of 1969, the latest instalment in Grapefruit's acclaimed late Sixties series. A significant number of great, heavily lysergic records were still appearing (if psychedelia was dead, clearly nobody had told the likes of The Factory, Fleur de Lys or Jason Crest), but the musical template did mutate. The Attack's chunky mod-pop vignettes gave way to Andromeda's power trio riffing, Status Quo moved from day-glo popsike to a looser, bluesier approach, The Pretty Things reluctantly left behind their neglected masterpiece S. F. Sorrow to explore more introverted territory, Grapefruit traded their gossamer-light harmony pop template for a relatively stripped-down sound, and Colin Giffin eschewed The End's psychedelic dreamscapes to dabble in post-'Eleanor Rigby' baroque pop. For other, more commercially successful bands like The Spencer Davis Group, Procol Harum and The Move, it was a case of attempting to maintain their high-profile status while also showing signs of progression. Housed in a clambox with a 44-page booklet that includes biographical information on every band as well as rare photos, Try A Little Sunshine covers every aspect of the 1969 British pop sound to provide not just four hours of vital late Sixties music, but a fascinating look at how the mode of the music changed as a tumultuous decade drew to a close.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTry a Little Sunshine - the Factory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReputation - Shy Limbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Boy - Beatstalkers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLetters from Edith - the Spencer Davis Group\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoundabout - the Montanas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSister - Cliff Wade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrother Thrush -Barclay James Harvest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(Vision in a) Plaster Sky -Wild Silk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Day the Train Never Came - Consortium 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime - the Bliss 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis Is to a Girl - Strawberry Jam 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiver Boat Queen - Audience 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaptain Reale - Gentle Influence 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Salty Dog - Procol Harum 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreen Mello Hill - Angel Pavement 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Walrus and the Carpenter - Peter Howell ;
