General Interest Holy Grail Remastered from original tapes with 11 previously unreleased bonus tracks. The Beatles, Pink Floyd, David Bowiecousins Francesca Garnett and Lisa Bankoff rubbed shoulders with them all in the late 1960's, and perhaps it should come as no surprise that a little stardust rubbed off on the two girls. Musically ambitious, they came close to being signed to the Beatles' Apple label (although John, Paul and Ringo were in favour, George passed, thus vetoing the deal) before being taken under the wing of Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason and signing to Monty Babson's fledgling Morgan Bluetown label. Morgan Bluetown was a side project to the Morgan Music studio, which in the late 1960's was one of the UK's top studios, attracting in 1969 alone the likes of Led Zeppelin ("Led Zeppelin II"), Free ("Tons of Sobs" and "Free"), and Jethro Tull ("Stand Up"). Chimera was in the wonderful position of being able to draw on the studio's home grown talent and to augment this with established stars such as their manager Nick Mason, who not only produced many of their recordings, but played drums on "The Grail" and brought along his Pink Floyd colleague, Rick Wright, to play harpsichord on "Lady With Bullets In Her Hair". Future Fleetwood Mac guitarist Bob Weston also played on a number of tracks. Due to a variety of mishaps, the album wasn't released at the time, although apparently Hipgnosis, designers of Pink Floyd (and many other) album sleeves, had prepared a front cover for it, and the musical underground was rife with rumours of this legendary lost masterpiece of acid folk/baroque psychedelia. But now, at last, the album is out on its originally intended labelMorgan Blue Town. Originaly recorded in 1969 & 1970. Guest musicians on this set were future Fleetwood Mac guitarist Bob Weston, Pink Floyd members Nick Mason (who partly produced also) and Rick Wright. The band itself was a two girl output consisting of Francesca Garnett and Lisa Bankoff. As for the music, hard to describe - at times folky and dreamy and can bounce to a dark, spacy with hints of acid rock as crazy as they come. Weird would be the easiest way out of trying to tell you how the music feels in your brain once you've let it in! Shipping Shipping is free for all customers in Australia.
