Liverpool produced hundreds of bands in the '60s — but only one left a trail this scattered, this brilliant, and this hard to follow.
Jimmy Campbell's Kirkbys evolved from Merseybeat harmonists to psych adventurers across a handful of rare singles, Finland-only pressings, and demos literally rescued from a rubbish skip. It's A Crime assembles every known recording for the first time: from the Everly-inspired "Bless You" through the chiming jangle of their lone UK 45 to the mind-bending "Michael Angelo," with five tracks making their CD debut. No "new" recordings — just the full story, finally in one place.
Some bands get a greatest hits. The Kirkbys get a complete criminal record.
