Description
Matching Mole ? "Matching Mole's Little Red Record" CBS S 65260 UK 1st press. Vinyl, LP, housed in a printed inner sleeve and released in 1972.
The vinyl appears to have been lightly played and is in great condition. It played through beautifully on my elderly stereo - no hop, stick or jump. The LP is housed in its original printed inner sleeve, which, although a little creased, is in good condition - no rips or writing. The sleeve has some slight ring-wear front and back, but is otherwise in good condition - again, no rips or writing. The spine is intact and legible.

Matching Mole was a short-lived UK progressive rock band from the Canterbury scene best known for the song "O Caroline". Robert Wyatt formed the band in October 1971 after he left Soft Machine and recorded his first solo album "The End of an Ear". He continued his role on vocals and drums and was joined by David Sinclair, of Caravan, on organ and piano, Phil Miller on guitar and Bill MacCormick, formerly of Quiet Sun, on bass. The name is a pun on Machine Molle, the French translation of the name of Wyatt's previous group Soft Machine.
"Matching Mole's Little Red Record" is the group's second album. The band was formed in 1971 by Robert Wyatt after he left Soft Machine. Compared to their first album, "Little Red Record" was more of a team effort, with Wyatt taking a less involved role. It was produced by Robert Fripp of King Crimson, and features Brian Eno as a guest musician.
The album title refers to Chairman Mao's Little Red Book (1964). This reference is also carried over to the faux-Chinese style of the album cover, which is reminiscent of posters created during the Chinese Cultural Revolution.
AllMusic Review by Rovi Staff "Released later in the same year as their debut, this 1972 album was the band's last. The punningly titled band (an English pronunciation of the French translation of Robert Wyatt's previous band, Soft Machine) broke up just after it was issued. This outing is a bit more experimental than its predecessor, favoring a range of sonic experiments, such as "Gloria Gloom." This also marked the debut of one of Wyatt's most gorgeous enduring songs, "God Song." Its quiet bearing actually points the way for his classic solo albums that followed a few years later ("Rock Bottom" and "Ruth Is Stranger Than Richard"). Produced by Robert Fripp, this album presents the more intellectual and introspective side of the era's British progressive bands. It has aged very well over the decades and is an important chapter in Wyatt's varied career and output".
