PHILAMORE LINCOLN North Wind Blew South (2010 issue UK 10-track CD album - One of the most mysterious albums of the late Sixties, British singer / songwriter Philamore Lincoln's US-only release The 'North Wind Blew South', has attracted plenty of conjecture over the years, much of it concerning the alleged involvement of the Yardbirds [Chris Dreja took the album photo, while Jimmy Page contributed a fierce lead guitar break to one of the standout tracks, 'You're The One']. This first-ever official reissue of a much-counterfeited set finally sets the record straight about the elusive Mr. Lincoln and his highly convoluted musical history. More importantly, it also allows British psychedelic pop fans to hear a superb but highly obscure album, whose baroque string arrangements, evocative flute, breathy vocals and cryptic, mystical lyrics occupy much the same territory as Donovan's work during the psych-pop era – particularly on the stunning, hypnotic title track, which remains one of the undiscovered classics of the British psychedelic pop genre).
