RELEASE DATE

Double LP version. The genesis of
Havenstreet
goes back to 1969, when
Phil Ridgway
and
Jeff Vinter
played in
The Gas
, an experimental psychedelic band heavily influenced by
Barrett
-era
Pink Floyd
. The two friends started to write songs their own songs, ending up as a folk duo. With the offer to record some of their material at a friend's studio, they recruited more musical friends, so Havenstreet was born. The influences had expanded now to bands and artists such as
Peter Hammill
,
Strawbs
,
Traffic
,
Procol Harum
,
Stackridge
,
Keith Tippett
,
Bert Jansch
, etc. In the early-mid '70s they recorded a couple of albums which circulated as private cassettes among friends and relatives. In 1977, Havenstreet released
The End of the Line
, a self-released album in a private edition of 250 copies. It was a collection of very English songs with evocative, literate lyrics and a stunning progressive folk-rock sound. It featured one of the earliest known tributes to
Syd Barrett
on the song "When the Madcap Meets the World." This expanded double set reissue of Havenstreet's sought-after album includes: the original
The End of the Line
album from 1977, a new album called
Perspectives
, which presents the best tracks from the privately-pressed cassettes
The Autumn Wind
(1974) and
Transition
(1976), plus rehearsal recordings for
The End of the Line
(1975/1976) and previously-unreleased recordings for the group's projected fourth album (1979), which was never completed. These amazing tracks range from electric acid-folk to Barrett-esque psych-pop, pastoral folk and
Caravan
-styled prog-rock. Includes a 16-page LP-sized booklet with photos and detailed liner notes. Remastered from the original master tapes.
