Complete recordings from 1963 to 1969 by this legendary band from Glasgow. Fabulous mod-beat, wild R&B and pop-psych, including all their 7" sides for Decca and CBS plus early demos. Formed in Glasgow in 1962 during the early beat boom by Alan Mair and Eddie Campbell, their line-up also included Davie Lennox, Tudge' Williamson (replaced by Jeff Allen) and Ronnie Smith. Playing an authentic brand of rhythm 'n' blues and soul covers, they soon took the city by storm and were famous for their live shows, attracting hordes of screaming girls and young fans. Between 1965 and 1969, The Beatstalkers would go on to release a total of seven singles. All those sides are featured on this compilation.
