Ready, Steady, Go!' was the pre-eminent British music television show of the 1960s, and for many, it remains the most influential pop culture vehicle of any era. As well as presenting the top artists of the day, and giving vital early exposure to future stars, perhaps its most important feature was its club-like atmosphere, which removed the barrier separating artist and performer, giving RSG! an atmosphere of vibrance and immediacy other pop programmes lacked. This collection of 10 vinyl singles - plus book with essay by Andy Neill - represents a selection of 20 songs by ten artists who performed on RSG! between 1963 and 1966, including The Kinks, The Searchers, Cilla Black and Marvin Gaye. The diversity of the artists featured perfectly illustrates the panoply of styles the show covered, why it was so pioneering and why it is still so fondly regarded by musicians and fans alike.
