“Jon Savage’s 1968: The Year The World Burned”

ACE

December 7. A genre-spanning 2CD mix of hit singles, slow burners and lost gems. The 45s that defined 1968 and crystallised author Jon Savage’s memories of the year. Jon’s selections for this year oscillate between soul, funk, Americana, poppsych and hard-edged rock. The aim of this compilation is to construct an ideal playlist that simulates a top radio show, without all the populist choices and extraneous filler - a more radical and faster-moving soundtrack for an inflammatory year.
