CD (1995) Mp3 VBR 

Included: CD Covers and this Info



Review	by Richie Unterberger

Granted, this 24-track anthology will appeal almost exclusively to those with very deep British '60s/psychedelic
collections, gathering bits and pieces from every stage of his career. It's also true that the best work West did is not
actually on here, but on the eponymous (and only) album by Tomorrow, which is still easily available on CD. As a
supplement to that Tomorrow album, though, this is pretty good, including rare 1965 singles by his pre-Tomorrow groups,
Four + 1 and the In Crowd (respectable if a bit generic mod/R&B); a couple of previously unreleased BBC Tomorrow
airshots of songs from their album ("Three Jolly Little Dwarfs" and "Revolution"), presented in
somewhat harder-rocking versions sans elaborate studio production; the "Teenage Opera" and "Sam"
singles; a rare 1968 single; and some unreleased cuts from the late '60s and early '70s, which show him drifting from
psychedelia into a more singer/songwriter direction. Especially noteworthy are two unreleased recordings that Tomorrow
wrote and recorded for Michelangelo Antonioni's film Blow Up; Tomorrow were apparently considered for the cameo rock
band role that eventually went to the Yardbirds. Interesting odds'n'sods from an interesting career. 



Biography	by Richie Unterberger

If ever a "secret history" is written of British psychedelic rock, Keith West will surely have one of the
leading roles. As the lead singer and principal songwriter of Tomorrow, he was a guiding force of one of the first and
best British psychedelic bands, even if their one album (with a lineup that also featured Steve Howe in his pre-Yes
days) was little heard beyond the London underground. West got his feet wet in the British Beat boom as singer in the
obscure mod/R&B bands Four + 1 and the In Crowd, the latter of which evolved into Tomorrow after Steve Howe joined.
While Tomorrow was still a going concern in 1967, West launched a simultaneous solo career, releasing a few solo singles
(some of which also input from Howe) in the late '60s. The first of these, "Excerpt From a Teenage Opera," was
an unexpectedly huge smash, reaching number two on the British charts during the summer of 1967.



"Teenage Opera," a convoluted story about the death of a grocer named Jack, was rather fruity in both lyrics
and production (prominently featuring a too-cute children's chorus). But this ornately arranged slice of pop-psychedelia
(with the accent heavily on the pop) had some moments of real grandeur, and has been said to have been an influence on
Pete Townshend at a time when he was mulling over prospects for a rock opera of his own. The British press hyped the hit
as part of a forthcoming full-length opera, but, in fact, nothing else had been written, and a projected double-album
never materialized. West did release one more installment as a single, the even more rococo "Sam," a perhaps
too-ambitious orchestral-psychedelic production that briefly made the British Top 40.



West's solo success hindered the career of the much less pop-oriented Tomorrow, who had yet to even release their album
when "Teenage Opera" hit. Although West was far more interested in working with Tomorrow than staging
whimsical pop-psych operettas, the difficulty in balancing the two concerns led to Tomorrow's premature demise in 1968.
West did manage to release another solo single (unrelated to any operatic concept) and record some reasonably
interesting unreleased material, which (as in his Tomorrow days) were frequently narrative character sketches of
archetypically eccentric Brits. He hasn't done much recording since the early '70s, although he produced a few (unknown)
bands, worked with his old partner Howe occasionally in the studio in the '90s, and produces music for television and
radio commercials. He is one of the foremost cases of unrealized potential of the British '60s psychedelic scene.
