THINK LIKE A KEY MUSIC

Irish psychedelic folkies Dr. Strangely Strange may have only been really active from 1968-1971, but their two Joe Boyd-produced albums (Kip Of The Serenes and Heavy Petting) are holy grails for collectors—and now the missing piece of their discography has finally surfaced. The BBC wiped their original tapes of the band's two John Peel sessions (Top Gear and In Concert), but after extensive detective work with European collectors, Think Like A Key Music has located off-air recordings that Prof. Stoned has painstakingly restored to pristine condition. Add in crystal-clear Dutch and Danish radio sessions, plus a Dublin rehearsal of "Sign On My Mind" featuring a young Gary Moore (friend of the band and Heavy Petting guest), and you've got the ultimate Strangelies treasure trove. With comprehensive liner notes by band biographer Adrian Whittaker and previously unpublished photos from the Barrie Wentzell archive, this officially sanctioned release fills the gap that collectors have been mourning for decades.
