Catalogue No: HST561CD
Barcode: 5056083207862
Commissioned by legendary record producer and former creative head of the Jimi Hendrix Estate, Alan Douglas in 1990, the cleverly titled �If 60�s Were 90's� by the band Beautiful People, is a truly unique and seminal record. Consisting of over fifty guitar riffs, vocal cut outs, out- take lead breaks, and word raps from guitar god Jimi Hendrix, �If 60�s Were 90�s� also features spoken steals from Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones, Experience drummer Mitch Mitchell, 60�s blues guitarist Mike Bloomfield and a party called the �Milky Way Express� that included the one and only Frank Zappa. Like some Groovy Psychedelic time-machine cruising the Hendrixphere, Beautiful People pluck from over 30 different Hendrix recordings, writing nine new songs creating an... �Ambient Dance Dream Tribute� (Kris Needs, NME)... of ... �Super Psychedelic Baggy Indie dance with Orb like overtones..� (Ian McCan, VOX) creating a sound that arguably helped kick off the rock dance crossover phenomenon of the early 90�s, bringing guitars back into dance music while still retaining the psychedelic rock majesty of one of the greatest guitarists of the 20th Century.
