...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI...


..::OPIS::..

To jedna z najbardziej kultowych i najrzadszych brytyjskich płyt tzw. private press z lat 70. i wśród kolekcjonerów długo funkcjonowała niemal jako legenda. Album został nagrany praktycznie domowymi metodami przez Olivera Chaplina a całość powstała w duchu pełnej niezależności jako pomieszanie psychodelii, acid folku i eksperymentalnego bluesa. Nagrania wykonano na 4-ścieżkowym magnetofonie TEAC, bez syntezatorów, często z użyciem pojedynczego mikrofonu. To nadaje płycie bardzo surowe, organiczne i momentami wręcz „halucynacyjne” brzmienie. Krótkie utwory przechodzą jeden w drugi a muzka momentami przypomina stylistykę Syda Barretta, a chwilami eksperymenty Captain Beefheart.



Sourced from the original master tapes.

Part-time farmer / musician Oliver Chaplin is the person behind one of the rarest private pressings from the UK.

His cult masterpiece “Standing Stone” was recorded in early 1974 at a remote farm in Wales, using a portable 4-track Teac reel-to-reel machine. Helped by his brother Chris at the controls (an experienced BBC engineer who had worked on Syd Barrett sessions), surrounded by animals and “small winged creatures”, Oliver sang and played acoustic and electric guitars filtered though tape echo, distortion and multi-tracking, creating a very unique sound, a kind of DIY mutant-psychedelic-blues (think Captain Beefheart) which sounded years ahead of its time. Despite the lo-fi nature of the recording, the sound quality is amazing and timeless.

Only 250 copies of the album were pressed and it even caught the attention of the Virgin label, who were interested in distribution but Oliver finally refused their offer. Musicians like JJ Cale expressed interest in Oliver’s music, inviting him to a jam session but in the end, Oliver decided he was not interested in the music business and left Wales to travel around Europe.

He remains a kind of a mysterious figure and we’re proud to offer a new, long-awaited reissue of “Standing Stone”, sanctioned by him.
