LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Dave Cousins and Tony Hooper of the Strawbs were invited in 1969 to produce an LP for Shrewsbury band Paper Bubble. Terry Brake, Brian Crane (both vcls, gtrs) and Neil Mitchell (bs) provide most of the sounds, except for a guesting Rick Wakeman, who was helping Cousins and Hooper on sessions just prior to joining the Strawbs properly in 1970.

Brake and Crane's harmony vocals underpin the atmosphere of the record, and it is an infectious folk pop mix with the Strawbs influence starting to come through.. The album was released in 1970 on Deram and gains its first legitimate CD reissue on RPM in 2008. "
