FROM 1968 ON THE UK PARLOPHONE RECORDS LABEL COMES THIS STUNNING LP BY MCGOUGH & MCGEAR ENTITLED "MCGOUGH & MCGEAR" (PCS 7047)
STEREO. FIRST PRESSING.
A joyous potpourri of late 60s psychedelic rock, poetry and humour, McGOUGH & McGEAR is a highly sought after album from a free thinking era in British culture.
As members of Liverpool comic poetry group The Scaffold, Roger McGough and Mike McGear (a pseudonym adopted by Mike McCartney – brother of Paul) had signed to Parlophone Records in 1966 and had begun working with producer George Martin. The McGOUGH & McGEAR album was the result of recording sessions at various studios in London in 1967. Paul McCartney assisted in the production of the record and a host of well-known musicians guested on the sessions, albeit uncredited. Alongside Mike’s elder brother, the musicians included such luminaries as JIMI HENDRIX, GRAHAM NASH, DAVE MASON (Traffic), JOHN MAYALL, SPENCER DAVIS, PAUL SAMWELL SMITH (Yardbirds) and VIV PRINCE (Pretty Things).
Even in those enlightened and experimental times, the sheer diversity of styles on the album was notable. From the psychedelia of ‘So Much’ and ‘Ex-Art Student’ (both featuring Jimi Hendrix on guitar) to the poetry of ‘Summer With Monika’ and the satire of ‘Little Bit of Heaven’, McGOUGH & McGEAR is a joyous listening experience. The album’s reputation (and impressive cast of contributors) has led to the original vinyl albums changing hands for huge sums of money.
