Trading Places present a reissue of Beau's self-titled album, originally released in 1969. Leeds-born folk-rocker John Trevor Midgely, alias Beau, was known for his deft twelve-string guitar work, his poignant voice and distinctive song-writing, which brought him onto the roster of John Peel's Dandelion label in 1969. His self-titled debut album is arguably his best and includes the outstanding single "1917 Revolution," said to have inspired America's smash, "Horse With No Name," the LP ably demonstrating that all the artist needed was his voice, his guitar, and his individual approach to song writing, the work bearing his haunting hallmarks throughout. In short, an unjustly obscure release that is ripe for current reappraisal. Licensed by Cherry Red. Includes two bonus tracks. 180 gram vinyl.
