This new limited-edition vinyl boxset features ten 7 singles from some of the most popular and influential artists to have appeared on the show. Each 45-RPM disc features new in-period artwork and the set includes a 24-page booklet written by author Andy Neill. Andy outlines how the show was conceived and developed by ITVs Elkan Allen and his young production team of Vicki Wickham and, later, Michael Lindsay-Hogg. It also includes notes on each featured single.Ready Steady Go! was an innovative British rock/pop music television programme broadcast at 6pm every Friday evening from 9 August 1963 until 23 December 1966. Conceived by TV producer Elkan Allan as an antidote to the polished theatre-style variety and entertainment shows of the time, it dispensed with the traditional separation of artist and audience.Its cameras moved seamlessly through the throng, creating an atmosphere of inclusivity hitherto unseen on music programming. The show was initially only broadcast in London but eventually found a home in households across the UK, revolutionising television for young people and setting the benchmark for every youth TV music programme that followed in its wake.TRACKLIST1Manfred MannSide A - 5-4-3-2-1Side B - Do Wah Diddy Diddy2Wilson PickettSide A - Land Of 1000 DancesSide B - In The Midnight Hour3Dusty SpringfieldSide A - I Only Want To Be With YouSide B - Heartbeat4Marvin GayeSide A - How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)Side B - Can I Get A Witness5Diana Ross The SupremesSide A - Baby LoveSide B - Stop!
