FAT HARRY (FORMERLY FAT HARRY) | MARIACHI RIFF LIVE & FREE MUSIC (Second archival release in one year by this fabled late 60s band featuring Bruce Barthol ex-Country Joe & the Fish. Formed in Croydon in 1969 by Barthol and 2 mates from Berkeley California - Gary Peterson and Phil Greenberg, FFH were managed by the legendary Blackhill Enterprises (Peter Jenner and Andrew King original managers of the Floyd) - they played many gigs in the UK before their demise in 1972 such as two of the Hyde Park free concerts, Phun City, and Bath Festivals as well as many college and club gigs. the band's one and only eponymous LP on harvest records didn't really reflect their true capabilities (hux released a far more intweresting selection of material from the group's own archive early this year 'goodbye for good') - a fabulous mix of Country, Blues and Psychedelia. This Shagrat LP reflects another side of the band - FFH could also be very experimental playing in odd time signatures and they were completed by a series of the greatest UK jazz drummers - Laurie Allan, Alan Jackson and John Marshall. Side 2 of this limited edition 500 only vinyl LP features two free music tracks recorded in 1969 - something the band rarely did live. side 1 features a 24-minute version of their much loved favourite 'Mariachi Riff' which has been favourably compared to the best live work by both the Grateful Dead and Quicksilver Messenger Service - an epic acid rock tour de force. It was recorded live at Aylesbury Friars in December 1970 The original tapes have been digitally transfered and mastered by Ron Geesin Packaged in a sleeve by legendary brit PSYCHedelic designer Mike McInnerney (who designed the sleeve for the Who's 'Tommy') the LP comes with a nice insert with photos, gig adverts from the era and an evocative essay about the band.)
