The Island Suite
B1a The Volcano (I)
B1b The Gathering Of The Creatures (II)
B1c End Of The Utopian Dream (III)
An unknown and precious album recorded in 1975 by two friends who recorded one side
each, they made just two acetates and then handmade beautiful covers from two
enlargements of a photograph of the Isles of St Kilda. Side one is a neo classical
prog rock epic in the style of Renaissance and Continuum, inspired by the wild and
pagan isles of St Kilda where, as a 16 yr old, the composer Peter Mc Kerrow was taken
by military launch to conduct a census on the rare Soay Sheep that live there.
A storm blew away his tent on the first night. The other side is by his canadian pal
who attended the same Uni in england, deeply homesick for Canada and surviving a
broken relationship these songs are melancholic and Cohen-esque. The original Lp is
astonishingly gorgeous and one of the most desirable looking artefacts of the prog era.

B3 Changeling
B4 She Was My Friend The Sun
Utterly beguiling folk rock trio with two beautiful girls at the helm writing and
singing mesmerising faeirie-like folk rock, only clive the bassist could be found,
the two girls vanished in 1971 after making the lp and abandoning music to start
families, clive has not heard from them since the moment they gave him his 3 copies
of the 50 copy srt pressing in a folk club that night in ‘71. tracks like “sleepy
rain” and “changeling” are understated and gorgeous, with insistent and addictive
guitar strumming under gentle sandy denny-esque vocals. the whereabouts of the girls
remains a mystery and the lp is issued with clive the bassist’s blessing. only 50
were made, not 99, and the lp is extremely rare, every copy was given away to friends,
the originals are valued at GBP2000-4000.

B1 Outrider 3:40
B2 Sympathy For The Madman 4:20
Post Arcadium psychedelic folk masterpiece, lost since 1969, just one original
acetate LP exists,valued at GBP7000+, the LP has an intense pagan mood and deals with
themes of alienation, notably in “Outsider”, it sounds very similar to Comus with
flutes, violins but replaces the insanity of Comus with dark folked out melancholia.
Short at 24 mins. Quite possibly the finest prog-folk lp ever made, with songwriting
and lead vocal by Miguel Sergides who crafted the psych lp masterpiece by Arcadium.
Accomplished and meticulous prog folk genius

SCLP 004 THE BECK STUDIO ACETATE 1969 : S/T LP 11.2020
A1 Gipsy Woman
A2 Time To Unfold
B1 Waking
B2 See Me
Cut in northampton’s Beck studios circa 1969 and thought to be connected to Axe’s
lead guitarist, this band remain completely unknown - only one battered acetate exists
which has been held in a private collection for decades, it has track titles but no
band name, with all research drawing blanks. regardless, this is arguably the finest
example of blistering undergound heavy prog jamming ever graven in acetate or vinyl.
And the band are at the top of their game,not a dodgy private press, it’s the real
mc coy, a band that’s honed a perfect organic sound, with fantastic interplay, male
and female vocal leads, and a guitarist completely on fire, possibly Axe’s Anthony
Barford (rip) as theorised by Dark’s Steve Giles...we can’t be sure. Just 4 long
tracks, 24 mins, if you like Heep, May Blitz, and a touch of Jefferson Airplane, you
need this. And the final track is a space ballad with the girl on lead vocal, and
she outclasses Grace Slick and Julie Driscoll. Fact. Ranks with Dark. Valued in
excess of GBP10,000.

A3 I've Just Murdered A Girl Called Maria
A4 Present From Bromley
B1 Spring Robison
B2 Killer
Searing art rock monsterpiece dominated by a relentlessly coruscating lead guitar
sonic attack as if played by a demonically possessed John Mclaughlin, Flux is ex Babe
Ruth, ex Motiffe, with lead guitar by John Grimaldi before he joined Argent and worked
on their prog masterpiece Circus. This LP is taken from a mono mastertape recorded on
a BBC Mobile Unit at a live gig in 1973, a shocked Record Mirror journalist witnessed
the concert and described it in a published Record Mirror review as ‘a new form of
music’.
Sound quality is great and this is a band in top form playing exactly what they want,
in a zone a bit like King Crimsons Red, but with insane guitar leads that bludgeon
the listener to death. The vocalist later joined italian prog rockers Flea On The
Honey. Play this with a hangover and you will die in screaming agony. 1 very short
track, and 4 very long ones. The gig ended with an IRA bomb scare. yes really.

Ultra rare GBP3000+ serene folk inflected progressive rock, cherry red used one song
from a poor condition acetate on a recent compilation, 3 acetate copies were made
in 1970, we used the only surviving near mint lp thats owned by an ex member as
source with great audio. the songs Oakenshade and Waxing of the Moon are poetic
genius, using a guitar with a damaged bridge to create a sitar like drone, the vocals
have an air of resigned melancholia, and the lyrics connect with a mystical
understanding of and reverence for nature. issued with the full co operation of all
the band, lifeblud later explored a heavier sound that sometimes hits the level of
High Tide, and we have 2 more lifeblud lps scheduled for release. housed in a gatefold
sleeve with band history, reproducing the original typed lyric sheets, and repro of

25 copies were privately made in 1968 by the 17 year old strang, who carried them
home from the studio several miles in a rucksack on foot. very few survive today,
and it is a little understood lp. the title refers to nuclear armageddon and the
total death of all life, not a hippie idyll, and the songs are apocalyptic poetry
that confront the cold war, hiroshima and nagasaki, platonic forms and the nature
of reality, there are also a few explicit drug references to lsd and amphetamines.
this darkness of intent makes the lp exceptional for the time, and seminal. musically
it draws from donovan and the incredible string band , at times becoming experimental,
and yet with an air of fragility that predicts vashti bunyans lp made two years later.
john strang continues to compose privately to this day, but walked away from a
Transatlantic Records deal in the early 70s to pursue a career in Psychiatry, for
which he was knighted. A concept lp about mental illness was due for release on
Transatlantic, which we are currently restoring from surviving tapes and cassettes,
entitled “Shame and Stigma” it is forthcoming. Full lyrics included which demand
careful reading, plus an insert explaining the lp written by the artist himself.

Searing hard rock that combines the savagery of early Budgie with the mystical edge
of Led Zeppelin, this Scottish band is an important addition to the roster of early
proto metal bands. Taken from original 1971 master tapes, this LP ranks with the best
of early seventies UK hard rock. Six long tracks that decimate many established proto
metal albums, this restores track title and session order that were mangled on a
well intentioned German bootleg decades ago. Ed. of 380 copies.

A genuine masterwork that sounds like a lost classic. This album from The Great
Crash includes exquisite songwriting with piano led art rock that conjure the best
of early melancholc Elton John and 10CC, recorded in an abandoned mansion in Wales.
Put put into modern hands, some of these songs could become hits. Others are so
poetically English they may appeal only to those with a certain sensibility and
frame of reference. When The Great Crash gradually left their Mansion after decades
there, it became Loco Studios, where the the ghosts of the Great Crash's songs
swirled unknown around The Verve and Oasis as they recorded their 90's masterpieces.

A super rare privately pressed folk rock album from 1968 is now finally available
on a bigger scale! The LP was originally pressed in a super limited run of 25 copies,
which nowadays are obviously unaffordable! Sir John Graves, who after his musical
career became a leading authority on the psychiatry of drug addiction, recorded this
delightful, somewhat Donovanesque LP with two friends (Valentine Lewis Lloyd and
Martin Farquharson) in Wales when he was only 17 years old.

6 N.O.B 4:34
7 I Just Wanna Make Love To You 7:52
8 A Hundred Years Old (Encore) 6:19
An historic archival discovery. This is a live recording made at the last ever gig
played at the old Cavern Club in Liverpool. Caliban rip through a set of
confrontational punky hard rock in front of a partly bewildered audience, heavy
riffs abound in a Deep Purple meets Third World War frenzy.

4 Breakfast 5:20
5 When The War Is Over 4:34
The only surviving 1969 studio demos of this important underground band. Keith Moon
raved about them, they were known for their live reputation. Karakorums sonic inner
space inevitably conjures up images of heavy cannabis and marijuana usage. The band
lock into darkly introverted grooves, with complex patterns, eastern influences, and
left field lyricism and vocal, heavy guitar led tracks and the use of wah-wah.
They were ultimately uncategorisable, poetic, and this album needs multiple plays
to connect to.

John Strang's sonic journey into psychiatric rehabilitation has been painstakingly
reconstructed from cassette tapes and crumbling studio reels. Composed as a concept
album in 1972 this could have come out on Transatlantic, but the deal fell apart
at the seams, and the recordings have remained unreleased for fifty years. Charting
the experience of mental disentigration and recovery, this may have been an abstract
manifestation of the genesis of Sir John Strangs career swing into Psychiatry.

From the darkling psychedelic folk of Anaconda, through the bathetic psychedelic
anguish of Arcadium, Miguel Sergides finally arrived from London at the Antipodes
in a mid-seventies disco frenzy and recorded his ultimate masterpiece as The Savanna
Silver Band. Long a cult item for disco and funk collectors, this is the first
reissue of a classic masterpiece, where Sergides aptitude for long complex
progressive compositions morphs seamlessly into a gorgeous funk disco setting,
the result slots perfectly alongside the jazz funk perfection of Chic, Shakatak,
The Average White Band and Sister Sledge.
