BCLP008 NTP/Upstaged
Mastered from the original 1972 LP, of which less than ten copies were originally pressed. NTP had previously cut a delicate self-titled LP in 1969, but this release saw them make a quantum leap into the underground, with deceptively simple, melodic druggy ballads rubbing shoulders with distorted guitars on basement downer work-outs. Steadily building in intensity over two sides the material strikes an incredible balance between woozy weirdness, rock-outs replete with acerbic Lennon-esque put-downs, and baroque navel-gazing. The sound of rainy afternoons in a London squat, old copies of OZ on a white table, joss-sticks burning, gooseberry wine and Moroccan hash.

BCLP007 Northwind/Peaceful.
Unreleased 1970/73 material from brilliant Scottish prog-psych band. Their 1970 EMI LP Sister, Brother, Lover is, rightly, a major collectible, with its mix of elegantly played and endlessly melodic tracks. A perfect companion piece, Peaceful, collates top-quality unused material from two 1970 Apple acetates with tracks rescued from 1973 studio tapes. The result is a careful balance of driving but controlled progressive rock and spectral ballads enhanced by some truly majestic guitar work, great vocals and superb production. Morning maniac music: make some coffee, roll a joint, pull on your red loons and head into town.

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.

mysterious sound collage of drifting, trippy acoustic instrumentals,

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.

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

psychedelic effects. Trippy lyrics peak on the apocalyptic title track. Lovers
