Whatever Happened To...? by Dave (a duo comprised of Peter Harknett and Russell Elliott) has become one of the most elusive and sought-after modern psychedelic records among collectors of DIY and late-'60s-inspired psychedelia. Recorded in a converted garage studio in North London by two vinyl-obsessed friends operating under complete anonymity, the album offers a rare balance of lo-fi intimacy, homemade experimentation and authentic psychedelic vibe. Deeply inspired by psychedelia, folk-rock and krautrock (think Pretty Things, S.F.Sorrow, Barret-era Floyd, Gene Clark, Popol Vuh, Hawkwind, Koobas), the record feels less like a retro revival and more like a lost private press artifact from another era. Dreamy vocals, fuzzed out guitars, effects, long tracks, stoned vibe -- It will appeal equally to fans of '60s-'70s psychedelia, '90s shoegaze and bands like Spacemen 3/Flying Saucer Attack. The original album was mixed live by four hands straight from the mix desk without any studio gadgets. It was subsequently pressed in a homemade edition of 50 copies with help from Brian Carroll (cutting engineer at I.B.C. Studios: Factory, Five Day Rain, etc) but without Peter Harknett's (one half of Dave) knowledge / involvement. The cover featured Peter's neighbor Dave on the front. On the back, they included a blurry photo of their Italian friend Marco (from Rock Bottom Records), who used to buy and trade original psych albums from Russell and Peter. The original pressing of the album suffered from excessive duration on each side, affecting the sound quality. This has been fixed for our new reissue, expanding it to a double LP including two previously unreleased tracks from the album sessions. Also, all the tracks have been newly and carefully mixed from the original multi-track tapes by Peter Harknett, sounding better than ever. Featuring extensive liner notes and reflections from co-creator Pete Harknett, this long-overdue reissue finally brings the album beyond collector lore and into the wider psychedelic canon. Includes insert with liner notes by Klemen Breznikar (It's Psychedelic Baby) and photos. Features two previously unreleased bonus tracks from the original album sessions, as well as download card with the full 2LP plus one digital only bonus track.
