THE WILDE FLOWERS 1965 - 69 (Early Soft Machine / Canterbury)



Great compilation of all the surviving tracks cut by The Wilde Flowers between 1965 & '69, though most apparently date from 65 - 6. Chiefly remembered these days for including various members of Soft Machine & Caravan as well as other players from the Canterbury prog scene.

A mixture of period R&B with burgeoning psychadelia... freakbeat really.


For Herr Pauli - thanks for the unique & very thoughtful gift mate ! Already on the wall ready for New Year!
