Symphony For the Madman - unsigned band late 1960s

This is one of five tracks from a 10 inch acetate that I have come across, in the vein of Mellow Candle and Comus, plenty of acoustic guitar, violin and flute.

If this rings a bell with anybody, jogs your memory, you think you know who it might be, then drop me a telegram to the address at the top of the page or leave a message.

ANAN - I Wonder where My Sister's Gone - 1968

An odd ditty here by this duo, this their second (and better) release on PYE. A projected LP was shelved on account of little interest in either 45.

John Carter and Russ Alquist - 1968

Two songs that typify the late sixties - and recorded in that great year, 1968. Both song-writers were prolific in their own right but teamed up for this one single of psychedelic frenzy. On the Silver Spark label.

Dedicated to an old friend, Cecil.




Midsummer Dreaming:



The Laughing Man:

The OPEN MIND - 4 track acetate

A Philips 10 inch metal acetate containing four tracks from the 1969 album. I have no idea what the intention of this acetate was (an EP release?) other than it is a demo dated 14th November 1969. Numbering on the acetate suggests that an EP release was considered.

All tracks appear to play at a higher pitch than vinyl releases.

Soul:

The Pussyfoot 1967

Hasty Words:-

The Pussyfoot 1966

Their first Decca releasem, one of three altogether (the last in 1968 on Pye). You might also want to refer to the unreleased acetate 'Dark Star' that I put up earlier).

All So Long Ago - Sweet Feeling

I have now realised that my copy has the labels on the wrong side, hence my posting 'Charles Brown' as 'All so Long ago' (I have now corrected the entries).
