RAINBOW FFOLLY 'Sallies Fforth' LP (Spain, Guerssen, Catalogue #GUESS086) Brand new/unplayed copy of superb and limited Guerssen label LP edition of top 1968 UK pop psych album by Rainbow Ffolly. Definitive LP reissue of this well-regarded and in-demand album. Includes one bonus track from their rare non-LP 45 single release.

'Underrated UK psych-pop album from 1968 originally released on the Parlophone label. This is one of the most sought-after artifacts from the British psychedelic scene. Sallies Fforth will transport you to the Swingin' London era in its full glory: well crafted songs, inventive arrangements, charming home-made sound, nice vocal harmonies, crazy sound effects and more. Highly recommended to fans of Toytown pop-sike and sunshine-pop. File next to Koobas, Forever Amber, Ora, Kinks, Millenium-Sagittarius and the likes. Housed in a high-quality carton cover with old-style backflaps and pressed on 180 gram vinyl. Mastertape sound quality. Includes one bonus track taken from their rare non-LP 45 and an insert with extensive liner notes by Brian Hogg.'

'An intriguing case of what might have been. As it is, this is one of the better Sgt. Pepper-inspired popsike albums, but only part of what it was meant to be, as the album was actually released before the band had finished its overdubs. What's left are some nice pop songs with sweet harmony vocals, guitars that are jangly here, flamenco-sounding there, eastern-sounding somewhere else. There may be a few psychedelic pretensions here (though not nearly as many as rare record dealers will tell you), but it's simply a matter of listening to the music of the time and absorbing what they were hearing on the radio. There's a real sense of innocence here: they seem like they watched Yellow Submarine the way most children did at the time. Other influences include old-fashioned music hall, rockabilly, even a county-hoedown. It's a very pretty record, lacking the rock strength of some of the better albums in the genre, but at the same time possessing songcraft that eclipses many of them. It's hard to say exactly which instrumental additions they intended (the vocal arrangements seem complete, with lots of cleverly layered backing vocals), but I would imagine that more lead guitar and maybe some keyboards would have given the songs a fuller and puchier feel. The end result is quite good, regardless. Some have argued that additional overdubs might have actually done more harm than good, but we will never know.' - Aaron Milenski/Galactic Ramble. High-quality 180-gram vinyl pressing including one bonus track taken from their rare non-LP 45, mastertape sound quality, insert with extensive liner-notes by Brian Hogg. SEALED MINT!!
