OLIVER - VINYL STANDING STONE [VINYL]

Popis - STANDING STONE [VINYL]:
Limited edition of 318 hand-numbered copies on GREEN VINYL! Now reissued is a Welsh cult private pressing rarity,
originally from 1974. Farmer and part-time musician Oliver
Chaplin recorded this mind bending album on a portable 4-track
Teac reel-to-reel machine, assisted by his brother Chris, an
experienced BBC engineer who was involved in sessions with a.o.
Syd Barrett. Oliver sang and played acoustic and electric
guitars, and plenty of effects were used to create a very
unique kind of DIY mutant-psychedelic-blues (think Captain
Beefheart) which sounded years ahead of its time. Though the
original LP was pressed in an edition of only 250 copies, it caught the attention of a.o. Virgin Records and J.J. Cale, but
Oliver decided not to get tangled up in the music industry. 'Standing Stone' is recommended to fans of a.o. Captain
Beefheart, Syd Barrett, Fresh Maggots, Comus, Magical Power
Maco and Brian Eno. This vinyl reissue comes with a thick sleeve, a download code, an obi, rare photos and liner notes by Richard Allen.
