Information

  • Label: Guerssen
  • Genre: Psychedelic

In 1969 Phil Ridgway and Jeff Vinter played in The Gas, which was an experimental psychedelic group. They started writing their own songs and soon they became a folk duo. When they got to record some of their songs in a friend's studio, they gathered some more musicians friens, and hence HAVENSTREET was born.

In the early-mid 70s HAVENSTREET recorded a couple of albums, cassettes of which were given to friends and relatives.

In 1977 they made a 250 pieces private release of their album END OF THE LINE. This was a collection of English songs with evocative, literate lyrics and a stunning progressive folk-rock sound. It featured one of the earliest known tributes to Syd Barrett on the song “When the madcap meets the world.

This reissue is remastered from the original tapes and contains:

  • Their full album END OF THE LINE
  • A second album (PERSPECTIVES) with the best tracks from the privately made cassettes, THE AUTUMN WIND from 1974, and TRANSITION from 1976 and rehearsal recordings for THE END OF THE LINE as well as previously unreleased recordings from 1979 for the group's intended fourth album. These amazing tracks range from electric acid-folk to Barrett-esque psych-pop, pastoral folk and Caravan styled prog-rock.
