Tea & Symphony: English Baroque Sound 1968-1974 / Various [Import]

• Track Listing

The genteel, melancholy pop that UK singer-songwriters fashioned during the waning days of psychedelia left us with the exquisite music we came to call the English Baroque sound. Saint Etienne member Bob Stanley compiled the "Tea and Symphony" CD 15 years ago; this new improved edition adds several tracks that have never been reissued, and the 2-LP version is the collection’s vinyl debut. Familiar classics join exquisite rarities: "Say You Don’t Mind" Colin Blunstone, "I Can’t Let Maggie Go" Honeybus, "Forever Autumn" Vigrass & Osborne, "Alice" Jon Plum, "Coathanger" Clifford T Ward, "Fading Yellow" Mike Batt, "When the City Sleeps" Bombadil, "Please Believe Me" Nirvana, "Pictures" Ray Brooks and more! Ace.
