PETE  BROWN  and  HIS  BATTERED  ORNAMENTS

A  MEAL  YOU  CAN  SHAKE  HANDS  WITH  IN  THE  DARK

Label :  HARVEST  SHVL 752  (3 C062 - 04062) 

Year :   1969 - Original Italian pressing with laminated gatefold cover

Pete Brown, Surrey born poet and writer who became a prominent part of the Liverpool Beat movement in the sixties, but perhaps best known in the Rock world for his song writing collaboration with Jack Bruce of Cream. Originally asked by the group to work on some lyrics with Ginger Baker he went on to pen many noteworthy songs with Bruce - perhaps the best known were ‘I Feel Free’, Sunshine Of Your Love’ and Politician. The latter mentioned features on this album as the last track on side 1 in its ‘pure’ form. Pete Brown managed to work with some of the most exceptionally talented musicians and writers of the era - but not for long it seems as his collaborations seemed to peak instantly and end almost as quickly. After ORNAMENTS came PIBLOKTO with whom he made three commercial albums, and in and out of all this was some fine ‘solo’ work. This first ORNAMENTS album is very much in demand by Pete Brown and Harvest collectors alike. No component falls short of EXCELLENT. There are almost no negatives, this is an exceptional album of outstanding quality.

Side A

  1. Dark Lady
  2. The Old Man
  3. Station Song
  4. The Politican

 Side B

  1. Rainy Taxi Girl
  2. Morning Call
  3. Sandcastle
  4. Travelling Blues or The New Used Jew's Dues Blues

Line up:
PETE BROWN AND HIS BATTERED ORNAMENTS are: Pete Bailey (percussion), Charlie Hart (keyboards), Dick Heckstall Smith (sax), George Kahn (sax), Roger Potter (bass), Chris Spedding (guitar) and Rob Tait (drums). Brown then suffered the ignominy of being thrown out of his own band, the day before they were due to support The Rolling Stones at Hyde Park. 

RECORD  :  VG +    some superficial scratches,not feelable with finger and with no influence on the listening experience.It plays very fine.

COVER  :  VG + +  with almost no defects on the laminated OUTER part. THE NON LAMINATED INNER PART IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GRADE : PLEASE NOTE THAT THE INNER PART OF THE COVER HAS BEEN MODIFIED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER WHO COLORED THE COMIC STRIPS ORIGINALLY IN BLACK AND WHITE AND TRANSLATED THE TEXT IN ITALIAN.BESIDES THERE ARE TAPE RESIDUALS,2 ON THE FIRST PAGE AND 2 ON THE SECOND PAGE. MAYBE I CAN GRADE THE INNER PART G+.
