Simply put this is the best unissued album this label or any other is ever likely to discover. a genuine masterwork that sounds like the lost classic it is. Exquisite songwriting with piano led art rock that conjure the best of early melancholc Elton John and 10cc, the songs are perfectly crafted and beautiful, the overarching sense of pathos is wreathed in an extraordinary wit, intelligence and literary sensibility. 79 minutes of genius. #the great crash went to Wales in 1970 and stumbled upon an abandoned mansion name Plas Llecha, moved in, and stayed for decades. #they played a few local gigs, and simply chilled out in the crumbling aristocratic splendour and recorded their demos at their leisure. Polygram got wind of them, an American producer was whisked to Monmouthshire, and the band were coaxed reluctantly into a London studio.but they couldn’t deal with it, and fled back to their mansion, unable to replicate in Polygrams studios what no one had heard, these brilliant brilliant songs… When The Great Crash gradually left their Mansion after decades there, it became Loco Studios, where the the ghosts of the Great Crash’s songs swirled unknown around The Verve and Oasis as they recorded their 90s masterpieces.
