In 1965 The End arose from the glowing embers of the earlier Tuxedos,
Innocents and Original Topics, and like many of their contemporaries
evolved into a psychedelic group. Along the way, they won the support
and patronage of the Rolling Stones’ Bill Wyman, who produced their sole
album for Decca, “Introspection” (CD2). He also co-wrote their
signature tune, the psychedelic classic “Shades Of Orange”, although the
band wrote the rest of their material. This 4 CD box set gathers
together all of The End’s extant recordings, the material on CDs 1, 3,
and 4 having only previously been released on vinyl in the ‘90s. CD 1
covers the early days from 1964 to 1967, CD 2 is the 1968
“Introspection” album with two bonus tracks, CD 3 features outtakes from
the period 1968/69, while CD 4 rounds up the band’s recordings from
1969/70, before they reinvented themselves as Tucky Buzzard. This
clamshell box set also contains a booklet with artwork by legendary
designer Phil Smee, including photos and ephemera, a note by founder
member Colin Giffin, and the band’s story written by David Wells.
