"The much sought after 1970 Red Dirt album. A psych blues classic, plus bonus tracks. Red Dirt were a blues band formed in East Yorkshire around 1968 comprised of Dave Richardson (vocals), Steve Howden (guitar), Kenny Giles (bass), and Steve Jackson (drums) who built up an impressive live reputation in clubs and venues in the North of England. When released in 1970, on the Fontana label, their self-titled debut album sunk without trace and legend -- or rumor -- having only sold around 100 copies."

"Whilst researching the re-release of the original Red Dirt album a few years back, we became aware of the existence of a second unreleased Red Dirt album. Then purely by chance earlier this year, we stumbled across a box of master tapes hidden from view in the warehouse, which turned out to contain the missing master tapes. Many of the tracks had got as far as being at the 'rough mix' stage whilst a few were missing the vocal tracks. We decided that the tracks were strong enough to release as they are with merely a clean-up and balance of the sound. This is as close to the second missing album we could get, and I'm sure you won't be disappointed with what you hear. A fine mix of psychedelic folk and blues rock so typical of its period. This previously unreleased Red Dirt album features three bonus tracks by Red Dirt guitarist Steve Howden's subsequent band Jude."
