Don't Waste my Time Handbook

This exclusive triple CD compilation soundtracks the exhibition You Say You Want a Revolution: Records and Rebels 1966-1970. With 64 tracks spanning 3 discs, it celebrates pop stars and protest singers, revivalists and revolutionaries, baroque pop hits and psychedelic curiosities all born of the social, cultural and political ferment of the decade that changed it all. Featuring Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Otis Redding, The Beach Boys, Cream, Joan Baez, Simon and Garfunkel, Cat Stevens, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and many, many more.

13 heartfelt songs exploring the concepts of love and loss, life and death, time and space. Influenced by the sounds of 80's bands like Tears for Fears and A-Ha, 70's prog from The Doors and Pink Floyd as well as such staples as the Beach Boys and the Beatles, 'A Waste of Time & Space' also takes cues from the 60's race for space, Geoffrey Household's 1939 thriller 'Rogue Male' and the Large Hadron Collider. Although a couple of the songs were written over 20 years ago, the majority of 'A Waste of Time & Space' was recorded and mixed at Radiogram in Bath, UK between April 2016 and June 2018 by duo Jon Birch and Si Bright. Listen out for sounds of the sitar, a volcano erupting, Sputnik's beep and the un-licenced use of a Marvel character.

Chris Hillman, whose credits include co-founding Rock and Roll Hall of Famers the Byrds, as well as the Flying Burrito Brothers, Manassas and Desert Rose Band, is truly one of the architects of American music. His newest solo work, Bidin' My Time, produced by Tom Petty and executive-produced by Herb Pedersen, captures a rarity: an icon who has never sounded better, making music with old friends for the sheer love of it. Collaborators and admirers from Hillman's storied career appear throughout the record: Tom Petty; Hillman's Byrds bandmates David Crosby and Roger McGuinn; the Heartbreakers' Benmont Tench, Mike Campbell, and Steve Ferrone; Desert Rose Band's John Jorgenson, Pedersen, and Jay Dee Maness; premier upright bassist Mark Fain; singer/guitarist Josh Jové; and fiddler Gabe Witcher.
