The Final Part of the PPC/PPA Compilations (over 205 between 2006 and 2026)

SOME SOUNDALIKES, SOMETIMES THEY SOUND LIKE (2010)

Back in 2010, the purpose of this large collection was to try to show how some bands had something in common, the love and respect for their famous forerunners. So instead of covering some classic tunes, they wrote original songs, mixed and produced them in the spirit of the bands they admired.

In the following years, i expanded the concept with the ELO-ISH, Byrdsian, Beatlesque, Brian Wilsonesque or even Glam & Glitter compilations, so you won't be surprized to find some songs here that were also used for those collections. Enjoy.

AWoS #5

OPEN THE BOX #5 (1997) (Remastered 2023)

 

First released in 1997 under an alias as a long lost gem from the 60's, it became less famous than other acts as XTC with The Dukes of Stratosphear or even The Damned with Naz Nomad. Over the years, it became an overlooked gem which has been remastered in 2023 and released with a new artwork. The real name of the artist is now printed on the release. The 1997 was part of the AWoS 2007 and four songs of the album were featured on four PPC compilations "Meet The Beatlesque (2007),  "The Pocket Symphonies To God (Brian Wilsonesque)" (2008), "Those Byrds Have Flown (A Byrdsian Tribute) (2011), and "Some Soundalikes, Sometimes They Sound Like" (2010).
