Description

 A stunning record. Original release. Only problems are a three inch split at the top and 1 inch bottom seam.  Vinyl is mint.  Epic yellow label, Sleeve is stamped "Demonstration Not for Sale"

They started out as a skiffle act from Ealing, called The Playboys and then became an R&B combo, The Tomcats. John (Speedy) Keen (later with Thunderclap Newman) was in them for a while. In 1966, The Tomcats went to Spain with a new line-up (the future July one). As Los Tomcats, they got in the charts with four EPs, one of which was all in Spanish! They returned to the UK in 1968, still basing themselves in Ealing. 

July recorded what has become one of the most sought-after British psychedelic sixties albums. Twenty-five years on time has not been kind to all the tracks (e.g. 'Jolly Mary') but overall it's well worth purchasing for its eerie brand of psychedelia (on 'Dandelion Seeds' and 'My Clown') and some fine psychedelic guitar work ('Crying Is For Writers'). More accessible are the Bam-Caruso reissue, which was put out in a different sleeve, and the Aftermath CD reissue. Both also include the second 45, which wasn't on the first album. Duhig and Field went on to be in Jade Warrior and Tom Newman later released solo albums on Virgin and Decca. He also set up Branson's Manor Studios and engineered 'Tubular Bells' I and II. Duhig was also later in Assagai. Alan James went on to play for Cat Stevens, Duffy Power, Neil Innes and Kevin Coyne. They were managed by Spencer Davis.

Personnel:
Tony Duhig - guitar
John Field - flute, keyboards
Chris Jackson - drums
Alan James - bass
Tom Newman - vocals

Album:
 July (Major Minor MMLP/SMLP 29) 1968 
Also issued in USA/Canada on Epic (BN-26416) and in Brazil (Musidisc Hi Fi 2.177).
