Teen Expo: The Cleopatra Label

Various Artists, “Teen Expo: The Cleopatra Label” (Numero Group, 2018; original recordings 1960—70)
So this guy ran a tiny indie out of northern New Jersey, and he put out examples of pretty much every happening pop style of the ‘60s—girl-group, garage-punk, folk-psych, dance-floor r&b, even post-doo-wop crooning. But it all feels of a piece – he wrote and produced a lot of it himself, and there’s a distinctive ear/feel at work, gauzy, eerie, sweet, enchanted.
