RARE 1970 UK ORIGINAL ON PINK SCROLL CHARISMA
LINDESFARNE
Nicely Out Of Tune
\ UK - PINK SCROLL - CHARISMA - CAS 1025
TOP COPY! Hard to find first printing of rare first album
Original 1970 BRITISH first pressing on the highly scarce PINK SCROLL Charisma label. It's the very first (and best) LINDESFARNE Lp...
From Newcastle upon Tyne, England, 'Lindisfarne' were surprisingly noted in 1972 by the leading English musical paper Melody Maker as the number one band in Great Britain, with the Rolling Stones coming second, and Pink Floyd third.
Lindisfarne's rise to fame was as spectacular as was their falling back to the ranks of the second division. It all started in 1969, in the folk clubs of Newcastle, when the very talented folk music singer/songwriter Alan Hull decided to try a few of his songs with a backing band. So he called upon his pals in a band called Bretheren for a few gigs and to record an album which was finally released under the marvelous moniker "Take Off Your Head And Listen".
But a re-think was in order and they re-christened to `Lindisfarne'. They made their debut at Newcastle City Hall in July 1970, and then, before the end of the year, released this album plus single 'Lady Eleanor' (a song that sounds like a love song, but is actually about a certain lady vampire) on the newly formed Charisma record label, along with other such upstarts at the time like 'Steamhammer', 'Van Der Graf Generator', 'Audience ', and a little theatrical rock band called 'Genesis'. Some of these bands became household names; some are now highly collectible collection prizes.
At first, sales were limited to the north-east of England, but that all changed the following year when the band started non-stop touring. By the summer they were playing at all the major festivals. 'Nicely Out Of Tune' that was their finest hour.
Of the eleven songs that were put on the original album, nine were written by Alan Hull. All of Lindisfarne were multi instrumentalists, so there was always plenty of swapping of instruments on stage.
There are protest songs mixed in with love songs, ballads, and kick up your heels rave ups. But through it all there is a feeling of fun and kindred spirit. Alan Hull singing 'The Winter Song' would send shivers down any spine. 'Clear White Light Part Two' is the first song Lindisfarne ever played together, and was the final encore when they once and for all called it a day at their final concert November 1st, 2003 - naturally at the Newcastle City Hall.
Listening to it today, it still sounds as fresh as it did thirty fourty two years ago. 'We Can Swing Together', although written by Alan Hull, is a showcase for the voice and harmonica playing of Ray Jackson. You cannot help but sway to the rhythm, sing along with the chorus, all the time punching your fist in the air. In concert 'We Can Swing Together' would be spread out to over twenty minutes of zany musical madness.
Rod Clements only contributes one song to the original collection, a song of unrequited love, 'The Things I Should Of Said'.
Lindisfarne's time at the top of the rock 'n' roll tree was limited. In fact, one more album after 'Fog On The Tyne', 'Dingly Dell', the band split in two in 1973. Alan Hull and Ray Jackson recruited new musicians and carried on with the Lindisfarne name, while Rod Clements, Ray Laidlaw, and Simon Cowe formed the aptly named 'Jack The Lad'. They later reformed, but the initial magic was gone. Anyway, by then Charisma were taking a bit more interest of those chaps in Genesis.
However, for English folk/rock at its absolute best, look no further than this Lindisfarne's first album.
