What More Can I Say?

0 - Default Title
Description
Private recordings of early seventies Kevin Ayers, discovered in 2008. Features Robert Wyatt, David Bedford, Mike Oldfield and Archie Legget. Liner notes by G.F. Fitz-Gerald. Kevin Ayers listened to this recently discovered collection of his private demo recordings and out-takes, and found them to be a refreshing reminder of a musical innocence, unique to the nineteen seventies. Much more than nuggets from a golden era, these songs remain compellingly personal in their simplicity, and sit alongside sunny instrumentals featuring friends David Bedford, Mike Oldfield, Archie Leggett (1944 1997) and Robert Wyatt. Of special note is the fourteen minute private demonstration for the Doctor Dream suite, a stunning 'audio letter' synopsis with acoustic performances and wry commentary. Never has Kevin Ayers' voice and guitar been captured in such natural intimacy. These beautifully recorded reel-to-reel tapes are an indispensable portrait of an artist as a young man. Or to convey the response from manager Tim Shepard, "This is Kevin's Holy Grail!" What more can we say Tracks: Unfinished / This Song Isnt Called Anything / Crystal Clear / Crying / Clarence In Oyster Land / Dreaming Doctor / What More Can Anyone Say
