Description:

The biggest British psych find of the century! Think thatâ??s hyperbole? Well, of the 24 tracks on this collection, the only two to be previously issued on vinyl, â??Beesideâ? b/w â??Vacuum Cleaner,â? comprise probably the rarest and most highly prized single (Deram DM 164) in â??60s British rock, an original copy having sold for as much as $1600! (And with good reason...the guitar solo on â??Vacuum Cleanerâ? set a new standard for mod-psych feedback freakout.) Indeed, that single was the only recording officially released by Tintern Abbey, and only a small handful of skeletal demos have leaked out since; yet, their legend persists some 55 years later. Now, after two decades of planning, research, tape transfer and sound restoration, the full story of Tintern Abbey can at last be told. The 2-LP set Beesideâ??The Anthology unearths 24 tracks of music recorded by Tintern Abbey between the summer of 1967 (when they spent a month in a Cornwall cottage, rehearsing and taping their performances prior to their London launch) and the end of 1968. Alongside that genre-defining Deram single and those previously-leaked demos are some astonishing treasures. Among the highlights: the intended late 1967 follow-up 45 â??Snowmanâ? (a disorientating melange of sinister Mellotron, disembodied voices and backward tapes that was abandoned when original guitarist Don Smith left the group); the Arabic- sounding â??My Prayer,â? and the SF Sorrow-anticipating â??Let The Wind Blow,â? along with late 1968 creations like â??Raspberry Ripple,â? â??Life Goes By,â? and â??My House,â? suggesting that, even at the point of their collapse, Tintern Abbey remained a vital, vibrant unit. The package features a 4-page insert boasting a comprehensive essay with band quotes and previously unpublished photos and memorabilia tucked inside a beautiful gatefold jacket containing a purple vinyl pressing limited to 1500 copies worldwide. This lovingly-assembled 2-LP set is the final word on a group that turned out to be as mysterious and elusive as the Wordsworth poem that inspired their name. - ..
