Synopsis

Album Description
Previously released on 2CD by Sunbeam, this double LP set marks the long-overdue first vinyl reissue of Gary Farr's classic 1969 solo debut -- one of the best and rarest singer-songwriter albums to emerge from the UK underground. Having torn up innumerable R&B clubs with the T-Bones, by the late 1960s, Farr had gone in a more pastoral, progressive direction. A superb set of reflective, acid-tinged ballads, the album finds his soulful voice ably backed by his 12-string guitar and supporting musicians including members of Mighty Baby and Blossom Toes, as well as Meic Stevens. It's presented here in a deluxe gatefold sleeve, together with a plethora of non-LP 45s and previously-unheard demos, as well as historical liner notes, rare photographs and personal memoirs from Meic Stevens and Farr's long-term partner, Carinthia West.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Certainly my favorite of Gary Farr, whom I consider to be one of the best songwriters, along with some Gerry Rafferty and Pete Brown. His voice is deep and emotional, the music powerful, not for people who are afraid of being real. This just recently came out on CD, so feel lucky that you have the chance. I heard him first through progressive rock channels, but I don't think that he fits in that category, even though he did play with Mighty Baby on the Strange Fruit album...still this one is better. It does take time to get to know..you might need to listen to it five times to feel the greatness."
