ACROSS THE WATER Across The Water (2020 UK 6-track vinyl LP released by Seelie Court, a new archival label home to ultra rare British titles dating between 1965-78, all sourced from a private collection, expertly remastered with audio restoration courtesy of Reynolds Mastering. Ressurrects an unknown but precious album recorded in 1975 by two friends who recorded one side each - they made just two acetates and then handmade beautiful covers from two enlargements of a photograph of theIsles of St Kilda. Side one aims high in the style of Renaissance & Continuum, inspired by the wild & pagan isles of St Kilda where, as a 16 year old, the composer Peter Mc Kerrow was taken by military launch to conduct a census on the rare Soay Sheep that live there. The other side is by his Canadian pal who attended the same university in England, deeply homesick for Canada and surviving a broken relationship the songs are melancholic & Cohen-esque. The vinyl is mint & UNPLAYED housed in a deluxe replica gatefold picture sleeve SCLP001).
