$22.00
Catalog #:
WH 001CD
The first Wooden Hill release, originally issued on CD in 1995. The prior LP reissue had lived up to be one of the great UK private press discoveries of the times -- Oliver's self-released album from 1974 was a blinding mix of psychedelic blues & and completely unknown. "A maelstrom of folk, blues and acid rock with distinct Beefheartian overtones,
Standing Stone
was recorded in 1974 on a farm in the heart of rural Wales. 'Wholly original, pure and surrealistically sublime,' drooled the
NME
; 'a lost gem,' according to
Record Collector
; while
Ptolemaic Terrascope
described it as 'an indispensable item in any adventurous person's collection.'" Last copies of this now deleted release.

...
1966-1069
. "The British psychedelic scene has been so heavily anthologized over the years that many cult acts are now as familiar as the era's major players. But while London-based bands like Tintern Abbey and Dantalian's Chariot have belatedly received the attention that they deserve, the local group scenes that thrived up and down the country during the late '60s remain a mystery to even the keenest collector. The first volume of a new series,
Psychedelic Schlemiels
explores the secret garden of sweet floral Albion with no less than twenty unreleased acetates and private tapes recorded by mostly unsigned provincial groups, the majority of whom weren't even household names in their own households. With vital contributions from such local heroes as Peanut Rubble, So On & So Forth and Herbal Remedy, and featuring previously unreleased demos by major label acts The Carnaby, Sounds Around and West Coast Consortium,
Psychedelic Schlemiels
offers a fascinating window on a hitherto lost world of small-town suburban psychedelia."

Catalog #:
WH 018CD
"Featuring the precocious talents of 14-year-old guitarist Jimmy McCulloch, Scottish band One In A Million's genre-defining December 1967 single 'Fredereek Hernando'/'Double Sight' is widely acknowledged as one of the rarest and best British psychedelic singles of the era. Naturally enough, that double-sided classic is included on this complete anthology of the group's recordings, which also includes both sides of their highly-regarded mod-pop debut single from January 1967 as well as no less than seven previously unreleased, unknown-to-exist, Who-influenced demo recordings from the same period. With a number of hitherto unpublished photographs, comprehensive liner notes and numerous quotes from lead singer and chief songwriter Alan Young,
Double Sight
is the final word on one of the most intriguing and obscure groups to emerge from the British psychedelic scene."

Subtitled:
A Collection of Demos 1967-1969
. "West Coast Consortium's late 1960s 45s were sophisticated, lavishly-orchestrated, close harmony pop affairs. At heart, though, they were a garage psychedelic pop band -- as can be heard on
Mr. Umbrella Man
, which assembles the pick of the four demo albums they made between 1967 and 1969. Now heard for the first time, this astonishing cache of recordings reveal that, left to their own devices, West Coast Consortium ditched the brass and strings arrangements of their singles in favor of Mellotrons, fuzz guitars, Vox Continental organs and wah-wah pedals, while hitherto unreleased nuggets like 'Santa Monica Bay,' 'Aimie (Sing Your Song For Me)' and the woozy 'Mr. Umbrella Man' show a parallel debt to the lo-fi, DIY approach of the Beach Boys circa
Smiley Smile
and
Friends
."

Psychedelic Schlemiels 2
assembles no less than 20 previously-unheard acetate and private tape recordings from mostly unsigned provincial groups. With vital contributions from such obscure local heroes as Cellophane Cloud, Sweet Marriage, Varsity Rag and Forever Changes, and featuring previously-unreleased demos by major label acts The Loot, Young Blood and Opal Butterfly,
Psychedelic Schlemiels 2
offers another fascinating glimpse into the hitherto lost world of small-town suburban psychedelia."

"Although harmony-based British soft rock act Unicorn didn't release their superb debut album,
Uphill All The Way
, until mid-1971, the core of the band had been playing together, principally as The Late, for several years. Taken from previously unreleased acetates and studio tapes,
Songs From The Family Tree
charts the group's hitherto undocumented progress from 1967 to 1969 as they slowly evolved from their original, Hollies-inspired psychedelic pop direction to create a more individual identity. With comprehensive liner notes, quotes and numerous photographs,
Songs From The Family Tree
is an essential item for Unicorn fans and admirers of late '60ss British pop alike." Includes a previously unreleased alternative mix.
