One of RPM Records defining releases remains the Dream Babes series , the Brit Girl Sound collections which started in 1994 and ran until 2007 reaching volume 8. The scene for collecting such sounds has only grown bigger and more international since then. Now it is time for RPMs concluding word on the subject of its own series with this 3CD box set. 80 tracks, none duplicated from the DB series, many tracks fresh to CD, five tracks previously unreleased. Compiled with much learned, many archive tapes unearthed, and recordings dug from crates since the series last volume. The booklet contains an important essay on the whole scenes history from one who was there at the start in the early 1980s. Ian Chapman gives chapter and verse on how the scene developed and the stages it took to reach where we are today. We further have a piece from Bob Stanley and his take on the scene, including working with some of the artists. All lovingly put together by major contributor to the series and scene, Michael Robson. Thus the booklet contains many rare pics and background information about the 80 strong track listing from Michaels extensive archive. Spanning the full spectrum of the scene, known for its gratifying diversity, the box set offers slick originals and intriguing covers, from early girls to late girls, beat girls, folk girls, hippy girls & mod girls.
