Shades Of Green – Rockin' Poppin' Ravin'

Released during the early 1970s, Rockin' Poppin' Ravin' by Shades Of Green is an entertaining collection of pop and rock favourites from one of Britain's popular budget-label studio groups. Packed with energetic cover versions of contemporary chart hits, the album captures the upbeat spirit of the era, when glam rock, bubblegum pop, and easy-listening compilations filled record collections across the UK.

Featuring fresh interpretations of well-known songs, the album reflects the diverse musical landscape of the early 1970s, blending catchy pop melodies, rock rhythms, soulful ballads, and country influences into an accessible collection designed for casual listeners and vinyl enthusiasts alike.

Side A opens with the glam rock smash Wig Wam Bam, originally made famous by The Sweet, before moving into the emotional Mammy Blue, the novelty hit Mouldy Old Dough, Rod Stewart's classic You Wear It Well, the country-flavoured High On A Mountain, and Two Divided By Love, rounding off the first side with polished pop harmonies.

Side B continues with the lively I Didn't Know I Loved You (Till I Saw You Rock And Roll), followed by Come On Over To My Place, Some Day Never Comes, the soulful Sweetest Feeling, a rendition of the evergreen My Way, and finishes with the energetic Don't Fight It, bringing the album to an upbeat conclusion.

A nostalgic snapshot of early-1970s popular music, Rockin' Poppin' Ravin' offers an enjoyable mix of familiar classics and period favourites. An appealing addition for collectors of vintage compilation albums, budget-label releases, and fans of 1970s pop and glam rock.
