Description
BCLP006 Tim Phillips/Giant Tortoise.
Second of the four Alice Island Band projects, Original LP from early 1968, only 20 copies made back then. 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. COMES WITH ORIGINAL ARTWORKFully laminated sleeves, NO BARCODE ON SLEEVE (Stickered Barcode Available, ask), features inners with full lyrics artwork designed by the immortal Bobby Blisters. Mastered by Reynolds Mastering, the kings of reconstruction and pressed on the old EMI Presses by Vinyl Factory for maximum quality.
