“Extraordinary.”

“The ‘60s British Invasion goes deeper than just the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and the Who. Illustrating that point to full effect is the “British Invasion” DVD series.”
—Gail Mitchell
Billboard
“...a terrific cross-section of ’60s sounds...these DVDs offer a great excuse to burrow into the couch.”
—Sarah Rodman
Boston Globe
"An outstanding exception to the mediocre flotsam riding the flood of boomer-targeted pop music reissues...An unusually well researched and expertly curated package that belies its obvious nostalgic value."
—Greg Quill
Toronto Star
“... a welcome addition to the documentation of mid-’60s music...this set is a giant leap
forward from the usual fare, which has tended to be thin on footage and way too long on a
short list of talking heads. Indeed, British Invasion’s chief assets are the abundance and quality of its visuals and the insights and brevity of its commentaries (from artists and associates; no critics)...Two thumbs up.”
—Gene Sculatti

“What audio/visual treats these discs are!
Meticulously researched and packaged, expertly
restored and annotated and whenever possible hosted by many of the actual participants themselves, the songs and stories flow in never less than quick, LOUD frenzies so perfectly reminiscent of those once-Swinging Sixties themselves... this is one British Invasion which truly concentrates, as all such documentaries should but seldom do, on the MUSIC.”

fascinating as it is spellbinding.”
