 | | Description: | Live 1962-1967 by Giles Brothers, released 18 October 2010, includes the following tracks: "Big Big Fella", "Breakups", "In A Big Way", "Go Away" and more.
This version of Live 1962-1967 comes as a 1xCD. - 2009 collection from The Giles Brothers, who are best known for being founders of the band Giles Giles and Fripp, which eventually metamorphosed into King Crimson, one of the giants of Progressive Rock. Mike Giles would be a founder of King Crimson along with Robert Fripp, Ian McDonald and Greg Lake. Peter Giles would also join King Crimson briefly in 1970. The recordings on this album however come from a period when The Giles Brothers were members of a number of pure Pop, R & B and Soul influenced bands. Whilst the material is quite unlike anything The Giles Brothers were subsequently involved in, these recordings are of a historic nature and as individual singles all the tracks are incredibly collectable.

The recordings on this album however come from a period when the Giles brothers were members of a number of pure pop, R n B and soul influenced bands. Whilst the material is quite unlike anything the Giles brothers were subsequently involved in these recordings are of a historic nature and as individual singles all the tracks are incredibly collectable.
All the tracks come from the personal archives of Peter and Mike Giles and as such are an interesting look into a period of time during the Giles brother's careers that has previously been less than well documented. The recordings have all been remastered for this release giving them the best possible quality and this release is the first release that gathers together all of these historic performances on one disc.

Tracks 23 and 24 previously unreleased."1962-1967" is a carefully compiled CD anthology by The Giles Brothers, released by the reissue-specialist label Voiceprint. Focusing on recordings from the formative years 1962 to 1967, this collection sheds light on the early musical path of the two brothers, who later became known as the rhythmic backbone around which key British progressive rock projects would form. Across the tracks you hear the evolution from raw, youthfully energetic beat and early rock sounds into more sophisticated, nuanced arrangements, capturing the transition from the early 60s club and dance-hall atmosphere into a more exploratory, musically ambitious style. Warm analogue production, period-typical instrumentation and unpolished performances give this CD the feel of an authentic time capsule rather than a retrospective polished in hindsight.
The selection emphasizes both the duo's tight rhythmic interplay and their growing compositional confidence over the five-year span, making "1962-1967" particularly interesting for listeners who want to trace how musicians develop before stepping into more widely known contexts. The CD works both as an enjoyable listen on its own and as a historical document of a vibrant period in British popular music, full of stylistic shifts, from rhythm & blues influences through classic beat/pop to more adventurous arrangements that hint at the upcoming progressive era. Audio restoration has been carried out with care, maintaining the original character of the recordings while improving clarity where possible.
The Giles Brothers themselves are best known to many music enthusiasts as highly regarded players within the British rock and progressive scene of the late 1960s and beyond, valued for their solid timing, tasteful playing and ability to adapt to evolving musical trends. This anthology underlines their strengths as a unit: tight grooves, a strong sense of dynamics and a clear feel for song structure. For collectors and fans of early 60s British rock, this CD provides rare insight into their pre-fame years and helps complete the picture of their artistic journey.
Voiceprint, the label behind this release, is known for its focus on catalog, archival and specialist editions, often giving overlooked or hard-to-find recordings a second life on modern formats. With an emphasis on quality presentation and attention to historical detail, Voiceprint has built a reputation among collectors and dedicated fans as a trustworthy source for niche and archive material. Their releases frequently appeal to listeners who value context, liner-note depth and preservation of music history, making them a fitting partner for a project like "1962-1967", which aims to document and celebrate an important but less widely documented phase in the career of The Giles Brothers. | | | No. of tracks: |
