This collection is a two-CD set of 1966 sessions from the British telly show Beat Beat Beat. You get the British acts that you would expect for the time as well as ones who never made it across the Pond such as the Hepstars, the Unwanted, etc. An interesting collection of not-the-usual fare.

Beat music, also known as Merseybeat (for bands from Liverpool beside the River Mersey), is a pop music genre that developed in the United Kingdom in the early 1960s. Beat music is a fusion of rock and roll, doo wop, skiffle, R&B and soul. Beat groups characteristically had simple guitar-dominated line-ups, with vocal harmonies and catchy tunes.
Beat music has little to do with the Beat Generation literary movement of the 1950s, and more to do with driving rhythms, which the bands had adopted from their rhythm and blues and soul music influences.
In the late 1950s, beat groups began to thrive in Liverpool in ballrooms and halls, and it is estimated that any one time there were around 350 different bands active in the Merseyside area. Many Liverpool beat groups went to Hamburg, Germany to hone their skills (as did the Beatles).
