Description

(Various Artists) 'Fuzzy-Felt Folk' LP (UK, Trunk Records, Catalogue #JBH018LP) Brand new/unplayed copy of limited year 2006 Trunk Records label LP edition/collection of "rare, delightful folk oddities" circa 1960s and 1970 from the UK and the US.

(NOTE: LIMITED VINYL EDITION!)

In typical Trunk Records style this is a genre-defining collection of true folk oddities from both the UK and the USA. This LP brings together lost naïve psychedelia, beguiling and unreleased film music, spooky nursery rhymes, songs about pixies and trance-like guitar oddities. Some of the music found on this LP is unreleased, some impossible to find, all of it is stunning. This really is unlike any compilation you have heard. Includes work by Basil Kirchin, the man who invented ambient music -- the recording here has never been released and comes from his estate. Barbara Moore is one of the most highly collected female singing artists, and Orriel Smith is a great lost American singer who composed these two psychedelic, progressive, jazzy tracks with funky film composer Philip Lambro-- these tracks have remained lost until now. Reg Tilsley, Pierre Arvay and Claude Vasori are all extremely talented library composers both in the UK and Europe. Much of their music was used in children's TV in the late 1960s, and their tracks are from the legendary De Wolfe Library and have never been commercially released until now. Very little is known about the other artists on this compilation, but their music is incredible. The name Fuzzy Felt comes from a game made up of fuzzy shapes you stick to a felt board, and in the 1960s, was a famous toy in the UK. You use the fuzzy shapes to make little pictures just like on the LP front cover. To us this sums up the innocent, experimental and creative streaks running throughout this incredible music. The other artists include: Christopher Casson, Arthur Birkby, Peggy Zeitlin, and The Piggleswick Folk.

- All recordings are unreleased or rarely-heard from the late '60s, early '70s. Subtitled: A Small Collection of Rare, Delightful Folk Oddities for Strange Adults and Maybe Their Children Too.
- Trunk Records is a madcap UK reissue label, bringing the world the likes of Basil Kirchin, Leslie Desmond, the first release of the The Wicker Man soundtrack, Dawn Of The Dead soundtrack, and much more.
- Includes a previously-unreleased track by Basil Kirchin and two lost tracks from great lost American singer Orriel Smith.
- This compilation contains rarities from the De Wolfe library, children's TV shows and educational films.
- "Refusing to capitulate to lampoonery, Trunk Records toasts the darker side of kitsch; the oleaginous film of desperate oddness that renders everything from shoddy TV shows and obscure movies to 1970s pornography as unsettling as it is worthy of ridicule. The Essex label's catalogue reflects this sense of grim fascination; its every LP release -- Mary Millington Talks Dirty, Resurrection: The Amplified Bible of Heavenly Grooves, Deep Throat OST et al -- boasts adjectives such as 'mind-numbing','groovy' and 'hideous'" --The Guardian
