V/a / Simla Beat 71

Particles

Particles is delighted to present the second of two legendary compilation albums, originally released to commemorate the All-India Beat Contest, instituted in 1968 by Simla ("the oldest cigarette company with a young heart"). Featuring acts from Shillong, Poona, Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Cuttack and Panjim, the music bears clear Western influences, but with a distinctive Eastern twist, and is presented here complete with original artwork, remastered sound and informative liner notes. Artists include: The Fentones, Nomads, Hipnotic Eye, Mini Beats, Velvette Fogg, Black Beats, Eruptions and Brood Of Vipers.
