Bulldog
Breed
'Portcullis
Gate' kicks off Rubble Twelve, if you want to hear the
flip, Halo In My Head, you'll have to go and search for
the Deram Dayze compilation. Their album 'Made In
England' is worth investigating, check it out
Virgin
Sleep
'Secret' was
the groups second and last single (their first, 'Love'
was based on the Buddhist chant, 'Om Mane Padme Hum').
Worth checking out, shame they never recorded further
Tintern
Abbey
Both sides of
their (only) classic single are featured here, no more
introductions should be needed
23rd
Turnoff
Named after
the 23rd turnoff the M6, as stated on the Deram page. The
flip was compiled on the British Psychedelic Trip vol.1
Human
Instinct
Two songs are
featured here, 'A Day In My Minds Mind' is an absolute
classic and 'Pink Dawn' was the B-side to a cover of The
Byrds, 'Renaissance Fair'. The band later returned to
their roots in New Zealand to record a series of albums
East
of Eden
More of a
progressive mood here, 'Northern Hemisphere' was the
groups second single and first for Deram. The group went
on to record a series of albums for Deram and Harvest
World
of Oz
Birmingham
band who recorded three singles and an album for Deram,
the track chosen here, 'Peter's Birthday (Black &
White Rainbows)' was the flip of their first single 'The
Muffin Man'. Surprisingly, the track was omitted for the
groups only (self titled) album
Denny
Laine
'Catherine's
Wheel' was the flip to the second Deram single, 'Too Much
In Love'. The "Deram Dayze" compilation is
worth purchasing as it also includes the first Deram
single, 'Say You Don't Mind'
Timebox
'Gone Is The
Sad Man' finds Timebox at their most psychedelic. This
was the flip of the groups fifth single, 'Girl Don't Make
Me Wait'. Check out theTimebox compilation, "The
Deram Anthology" for loads of superb tracks
People
Another
one-off obscure single on the Deram label, the track in
question here is the flip, 'Glastonbury'
The
Outer Limits
Leeds band who
recorded four singles for four labels (if you include a
charity one-sided single), another flip, 'Help Me Please'
is the bands recording on this album
Warm
Sounds
This is more
like it!! Here you'll find both sides of the groups final
single edited together as originally intended. Total
mayhem with backwards effects, a pop-psych dream
