Following in the footsteps of DJs like Bill Brewster and Psychemagik, Richard Norris joins the Eskimo Recordings compilation series with the 42-track psychedelic journey, Mr Norris Changes Brains. A key figure in UK music for over four decades—spanning punk, acid house, and psychedelia—Norris draws on his experience with Beyond the Wizard’s Sleeve and years of crate digging across the globe to curate this expansive set.

From rare 1960s fuzz anthems to modern psychedelic dancefloor grooves, the collection pulls together obscure private press gems, overlooked B-sides, and cult classics from the US, Europe, and beyond.

More than just a tribute to classic psychedelia, Mr Norris Changes Brains celebrates the new freedom and global connections that have broadened the genre’s horizons. Packed with funky grooves, swirling synths, and heavy rhythms, the compilation is a call to both seasoned heads and new listeners to lose themselves on the dancefloor—and to discover just how far the psychedelic spirit can stretch today.

Features tracks from Iron Butterfly, Rare Bird, Blue Phantom, Bernard Estardy, Juantrip, La Metamorfosi and more.

One of three marvellous vinyl compilations from Richard Norris that reach into his deep bags of records and throws out some dancefloor delights that lean into obscure library fuzz, acid rockin' rumble, organ-led groovers, psychedelic movers and just plain out-there sounds. Essential stuff indeed!
