This is a cassette-only limited edition of 250 copies. Who on earth are The Van Patterson Quartet? The Tapeworm stumbled upon the lost psych-rock recording, Live At F.W. by The Van Patterson Quartet, late during a sleepless night. A link started a chain of events -- the Wormery would not sleep until the answer had been found! "Who on earth are The Van Patterson Quartet?" they asked themselves. They sent out feelers via their contacts. They waited. Replies came back -- digital shrugs, all expressing a deep fascination that something sounding so splendid could remain unearthed for so long. Then, "Mr. Big" stepped in. Quite by chance, he was neighbors with one of the band members. Such serendipity. He hooked The Tapeworm up. Letters were written, requests made, permissions granted, and a few short weeks later, a copy of Live At F.W., mailed with a blurry Polaroid, landed on the label's desk. They sat back and listened properly for the first time. They were blown away. They had just been given possibly the last great unreleased psych-rock recording. Who on earth are The Van Patterson Quartet? This recording dates, apparently, from the late-'60s. It features this hitherto unknown band in full flight, live. It needs to be heard to be believed. Funky, fuzzed- up, flipped-out, fucked and fried. Forty minutes of hallucinating Hammond and ferocious feedback. That's who they are.
