A bright, vibrant and unfailingly sunny batch of shiny psychedelic pop from Apple Records -- singles from Andy Ellison, Brute Force, The Fourmost, Focal Point, Contact, Marzipan, Lon And Derrek Van Eaton and others -- the fourth set in the series from RPM UK! Lovers From The Sky delves a bit deeper into the vaults of Apple Publishing, which held contracts with scores of groovy talent, who cut scores of tunes -- some of which were never properly released. Even the demos are soaring, as was the style of the time -- some even recorded at the legendary 94 Baker Street offices. Titles include "Fool For Upper Eden" by Andy Ellison, "Far Away From Forever" by Focal Point, "Jeremy The Lamp" by Moving Finger, "Now She Says She's Young" by Timon, "Round And Round" by Contact, "Rostta" by The Fourmost, "Sweet Water Mary" by Marzipan and more. 19 tracks in all.
