BCLP006 Tim Phillips/Giant Tortoise.

Second of the four Alice Island Band projects, from early 1968, originally only 20 copies made. A beautiful, whimsical, delicate, charming, sometimes childlike, self-composed collection of songs; echoes of Donovan’s Songs for Little Ones, a whiff of mid period Kinks, vapour trails from the Incredible String Band and faint resonances of the more naïve end of early Syd Barrett’s Pink Floyd. A genuine, utterly lost, hippy period piece stripped down and authentic, deceptively innocent with a constant Acidic undercurrent of the pervasive sadness marking the end of the “Summer of Love”. The Alice Island Band body of work is directly comparable in date, ethos, rarity, quality and overall vibe to Howell/Ferdinando: Agincourt/Ithaca, love those you’ll love these.

BCLP005 Raven/Traitors Gate.

Unreleased 1973 LP of classic, inventive early 70s rock, a schizophrenic but coherent blend of hard rockers with stunning guitar, and delicate acoustic ballads with flutes and spectral female backing vocals. All self-composed, a treat for lovers of the Dandelion Label, obscure Decca, Harvest and Deram albums, Mandrax, Youngs Bitter and clapped out Mini-Coopers. Unhealthy, Unwise, Sacred and Profane.

BCLP004 Robert Naylor & Friends/Skates

Previously completely unknown second, unreleased, LP by pastoral English songsmith. Recorded in 1973 at the University of Surrey Music Department where Robert was a Guitar Degree Student. A kaleidoscope of beautifully sung, intense, impressionistic, self-composed songs. Some simply backed by his stunning guitar work, others with full chamber folk-rock backing. Heavily symbolic lyrics and deceptively sweet music, much of the imagery seems to anticipate his tragic early death, in his sleep, aged 19, just weeks before he graduated. Obvious comparisons can be made to Nick Drake and even Tim Buckley, but perhaps more sharply to early Al Stewart and with a strong resonance of Village Thing artists, especially Dave Evans two classic LPs. Timeless, sharp, wistful and eccentric. A miracle this has survived.

BCLP003 Terraplane-One
 A genuine Underground, West Coast inflected, progressive, psychedelic blues band from Sussex present a beautifully curated and recorded set kicking off with Quicksilvers Pride of Man and taking in Donovan (stunning version of Hampstead Heath Incident), Dylan and John Mayall as well as obscure blues and folk tracks (a wonderful Portland Town) and two great originals. Superb guitar throughout. Fans of early Quicksilver, 1st LP Savoy Brown, Mighty Baby and all that 69/70 hippy stuff need go no further. Originally a precious 99 copy only private release on the legendary Saturn label, only a handful have ever escaped into the wild.

BCLP002 Music Box: Fun Palace.

Deeply mysterious sound collage of drifting, trippy acoustic instrumentals, heart-breaking hippy songs, west-coast inflected folk-rock, stoned mutterings, Bonzo Dog-like parodies and experimental psychedelia. A satisfying and cohesive Underground, Acid Folk monument. A member and four copies briefly surfaced 5 years ago when a now defunct record dealer offered one on ebay. He confirmed around 20 copies were made, less than ten with sleeves, in 1969, in Bristol. Reference points include: Incredible String Band, John Martyn, Bonzo Dog Band, early Krautrock, Freud, Bert Jansch, Synanthesia, Orange Sunshine, Brown Rice.

BCLP001 Monk-Through an Electric Glass Darkly
Lovingly restored from the only known copy: a battered Acetate found by accident 15 years ago inside an MOR LP sleeve in a junk shop. Top tier Underground music from c 1970, sitting on the cusp of psychedelic into progressive rock, a heady mix of great songs, stinging, jamming guitar and psychedelic effects. Trippy lyrics peak on the apocalyptic title track. Lovers of 1st LP Hawkwind, Skin Alley, Steamhammer, mid-period Floyd, Deviants, Pink Fairies, Patchouli Oil, Red Lebanese, damp Afghan coats and Parachute-era Pretty Things will find relief here.
