Caleb Quaye only released one single in the sixties under his own name, but what a record it is. Released on Philips in June 1967, "Baby Your Phrasing is Bad" boldly rides the surging psychedelic wave that was about to crest in London that summer with swirling fuzz guitar, a spiraling solo, and a hazy, spaced-out vocal. On the other side, "A Woman of Distinction" is only fractionally less freaky with treated vocals and a short but gracefully-executed guitar solo. Contrary to hearsay, rumors and guesswork, it can be confirmed that Elton John did not play on the session. However, shortly afterwards, this same core lineup, with Caleb producing, recorded an album with Elton, Regimental Sgt Zippo, a superb psychedelic pop work that remained unreleased until 2021. A master class of shimmering, surrealistic '67 British psychedelia that is widely considered a holy grail of the genre. Reissued for the first time.
