Some bubblegum pop (quite literally) from the great unsung heroes of the 60s.
The 2001 Cherry Red compilation The Best of The Free Design was the first Free Design material ever to be released on this side of the Atlantic (the dull rainy side).
You can also get The Free Design: The Now Sound Redesigned. This is a masterclass in how to remix stuff from the 60s with lessons from Stereolab, Super Furry Animals, Belle and Sebastian and more… The Madlib remix is sublime.(Not all 60s remixes are good. The recent ‘effort’ from Mark Ronson on Dylan’s Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I’ll Go Mine) is quite possibly the worst thing I’ve ever heard. If you’ve been lucky enough not to have heard it, please don’t go looking for it.)
