What happens when a record label tries to map the sound of a moment?

Originally released in 1970, Fill Your Head With Rock is a double LP sampler that captures a shifting musical landscape, where folk, rock, jazz and experimentation begin to overlap. Featuring artists such as Santana, Chicago and The Byrds, it feels less like a compilation and more like a curated snapshot of transition. In this episode, we explore the sampler as an artefact -how it functioned as both introduction and invitation, a way of guiding listeners through a rapidly expanding catalogue of sound.

I this episode I am in discussion with Keith Cheshire.
