Rod Edwards and Roger Hand formed this breezy, psychedelic pop outfit after briefly recording as The Picadilly Line. Sadly this, their debut album, never made it to a British release as the record label folded before a UK release could be secured through EMI. Edwards Hand's is a genuine lost UK '60's gem that received glowing reviews upon its release in the US. Recorded on four track tape at EMI St. Johns Wood in late .68, with Geoff Emerick and George Martin during a break in the sporadic White Album sessions, you can hear the benefits from Martin and Emerick's vast experience, technical skills and orchestral arrangements. There is plenty of swinging London vibes and whimsical vocals here, as well as dreamy vocal harmonies and elaborate electric and acoustic arrangements that are very much of the era. The Beatles connection is obviously strong, and much of this material is reminiscent of late 60's/ early 70's Paul McCartney as well as Donovan - with it.s chirpy, evocative lyrics, harmonies and warm arrangements - but there is also a late Small Faces / Kinks vibe in their lyrical descriptions of old London Town. Other late 60's comparisons would certainly include Kaleidoscope (UK) and the early orchestrated material by The Strawbs. This exact limited edition reissue is housed in a reproduction of the original sleeve. Re-released with full consent of the producer and the band. The CD features a sleeve note by George Martin."
