Wimple Winch 4 track acetate - Atmospheres

Was this a proposed EP for release in 17th January 1967? This 10 inch Fontana acetate brings together all tracks from their 2 singles with the 'Atmospher' choice. It is listed as an EP on the label. 'Atmospheres' is shortened, slightly different mix.

There are severals sites carrying the band's history, but briefly, from Mersyside (as Four Just Men) moved to Manchester as Wimple Winch (Stockport area) disbanding in 1967.

Rumble on Mersey Square South



Save My Soul



Atmospheres

The SELOFANE: Chase the Face - 1968

The second of only two singles by this obscure English band. Chase the Face is an interesting Baroque style pop song, with great (at times) off key brass, and a good dose of organ. You might also care to listen to 'A Girl called Fantasy'.

This demonstration copy released 13th September 1968.

Off some interest is that this copy was sent to FINITO (a record producition and promotion comapany headed by Tony Palmer & Adrian Rudge up until 1970 when Rudge moved to Polydor).

The Masked Phantom

An obscurity here from 1966 on Parlophone. This travels well with the previous listing, Sir Henry & His Butlers.

Sir Henry & His Butlers - Cosmorama

A Danish beat group who had a minor hit in the UK with 'Camp' (later known as the 'Rolo Sensation') and so seems appropriate to air them here with this atmospheric instrumental, dated 1968.

Serendipity - 1968 and 1969

A side each here from both singles by this Tunbridge Wells' group once known as 'Abject Blues'.

Castles (1969)

Through with You (1968)

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.
