SHINDIG ANNUAL No.1

Shindig! Annual No.1 is a glossy hardback book with 112 groovy colour pages.

The artists covered in this annual range from the well known: THE MOVE (the last in-depth interview with original singer Carl Wayne), LOVE AFFAIR (the UK pop/soul act that were the most talked about UK group for a number of months in 1968) and BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD (Neil Young, Steven Stills... say no more). The now legendary: JOHN'S CHILDREN (a massive interview with singer Andy Ellison and drummer Chris Townsen), JESSE HECTOR (the original space-age mod whose style and attitude influenced a number of glam and punk acts). The now highly regarded: SRC (the Detroit band who ran their own studio and were friends with the stars), KALEIDOSCOPE (England's most loved unsuccessful '60s pop act), THE ACTION (utter stylists produced by George Martin), GRAPEFRUIT (more-than-pretty-boy Beatles protégés) and LES FLEUR DE LYS (who out-did The Who on their Immediate version of 'Circles'), UGLY DUCKLINGS (Brilliant Canadian garage/psych act. Mick Jagger was a fan!), WE THE PEOPLE (From incessant '60s garage punk to psych whimsy and gnarly fuzz rock).

All these articles first appeared in the out-of-print Volume 1 series of Shindig! Magazine. They have been redesigned with new illustrations and additional photographs.

Rock n Reel review   "Bi-monthly psych-fest consolidates its first incarnation
At a time when magazines seem to be dropping like flies and those that
survive stick to the tried and trusted, Shindig! goes from strength to
strength by filling a gaping hole for unashamed obsessives craving
exhaustive coverage of psych, garage, freakbeat, prog, acid-folk and
attendant movies, books and cultural artefacts.
Starting in 1993 by RC psych-columnist Jon “Mojo” Mills as a photo-copied
fanzine called Gravedigger, the magazine changed its name, evolved visually
with eye-blasting technicolour, added a growing coterie of respected
contributors, then relaunched eight issues ago, creating the glorious
spectacle of the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band gracing WH Smith’s
shelves. For in-depth accounts of artists rarely seen elsewhere (apart from
RC!), plus the magical buzz of a pure fan’s passion, it uncannily recalls
original fanzine ZigZag and definitely carries the torch.
The annual presents selected features from the magazine’s first phase,
including 23 pages on The Move, Grapefruit, the Ugly Ducklings, the UK
Kaleidoscope, Jesse Hector, Buffalo Springfield, Les Fleurs De Lys, The
Action, We The People, Love Affair’s Steve Ellis and Mills’ epic John’s
Children interview. Ken Shimamoto’s SRC is nothing less than Motor City
heaven. Obviously specialist but truly worthy of support, No 2 should be a
monster. " RECORD COLLECTOR
