| THE ARTWOODS Singles A's & B's (2000 German issue 18-track CD
album featuring the talents of Arthur [Art] Wood on vocals, Derek
Griffiths on guitar, Malcolm Pool on bass, Jon Lord on organ and Keef
Hartley on drums, sealed digipack picture sleeve)
Tracklisting: Formed in London in 1964, the Artwoods consisted of Arthur (Art) Wood on vocals, Derek Griffiths on guitar, Malcolm Pool on bass, Jon Lord on organ and Keef Hartley on drums. Art is the elder brother of Ronnie Wood. Red Bludd's Blusicians had been formed in 1963 and the Artwoods were formed following the departure of Don "Red Bludd" Wilson who played bass and Red Dunnage the drummer. Jon Lord came from the Bill Ashton Combo while Art Wood has sung with Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated. Keef had previously played with Rory Storm & the Hurricanes, replacing a certain Ringo Starr, and Freddie Starr and the Midnighters.
The Artwoods gained a reputation as the hardest working R & B band on the circuit. The live set consisted of both Chicago Blues standards and original material. Many appearances were made on the top UK pop TV show Ready, Steady Go. Originally the groups mimed to songs but, over time, more and more live performances were allowed. The Artwoods performed on the first Ready Steady Goes Live. Tom Jones mimed to It's Not Unusual on the show. The Kinks and Donovan played live and the Artwoods promoted their first single Sweet Mary.
The group was very popular in the clubs around London but they never equalled this on record despite releasing an LP, an EP and a string of singles. The only chart single was the 1966 I Take What I Want although this is not corroborated by The Guinness Book of British Hit Singles. This was a cover of a Sam & Dave song.

The Artwoods were formed in 1963, and over the next two years became an extremely popular live attraction, rivaling groups such as the Animals, although, despite releasing a clutch of singles and an album, their record sales never reflected this popularity.
Singer Arthur Wood, from whom the band took their name, was the elder brother of The Rolling Stones' Ronnie Wood. He had been a vocalist with Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated for a short period during 1962, simultaneously fronting his own group, the Art Wood Combo..
When keyboardist Jon Lord and guitarist Derek Griffiths joined from Red Bludd's Bluesicians they re-christened themselves the Artwoods.
Keef Hartley, formerly with Rory Storm & The Hurricanes [He replaced Ringo Starr!], joined on drums in '64 and the band turned professional, secured a residency at London's 100 Club and gained a recording contract with Decca Records.
The intended debut single, a cover of Muddy Waters' "Hoochie Coochie Man" was shelved in favour of a version of an old Leadbelly song, "Sweet Mary". Although it didn't reach the Charts it got sufficient airplay to bring them a lot of live work, including an appearance on the first live edition of 'Ready, Steady, Go!' The second record, "Oh My Love", was another blues cover. Like it's predecessor and subsequent releases, it failed to chart.
The Artwoods were dropped by Decca at the end of 1966 and signed a one record deal with Parlophone, but "What Shall I Do" also flopped. Later in 1967 a final "one-off" single appeared on Fontana under the name "St. Valentine's Day Massacre" but by the time of it's release the Artwoods had effectively ceased to exist.
The Artwoods' early records today stand up well against the work of more successful groups such as the Stones, the Yardbirds or ironically, the Birds, who included Art's younger brother Ron. But at the time they came out, despite appearances on TV programs like "Ready, Steady, Go!" their singles never seemed to connect with the record-buying public.
In live performance, on the other hand, it was a different matter.
They had a virtuoso lineup, Lord's piano and organ sound was a great complement to Wood's singing, Griffith's guitar work was tastefully flashy, and Keef Hartley was animated as well as powerful, with a big sound on the drums.
Club audiences always knew they were good for a great show and the band loved playing live. Ultimately, in fact, the group's success in touring and their love of playing live may have hurt them.
The group broke up in mid '67 with Hartley going on to play with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Malcolm Pool to play with Colosseum and Lord becoming a founder member of Deep Purple.

featuring the talents of Arthur [Art] Wood on vocals, Derek Griffiths on

unplayed!)

| THE ARTWOODS Art Gallery (Extremely rare 1969 original first
German 'Musik Für Alle' white title label trade sample 12-track LP
issue of the legendary Mod/Freakbeat classic from 1966, possibly
issued to coincide with the Decca 'Eclipse' release in the UK, unique
laminated picture sleeve variant ND576)
Tracklisting: The sleeve is superb with just a few light creases to the laminate at the edges & no edge scuffing - As good as it gets.
The colours are bright & vibrant & there is no significant evidence of shelfwear at all.
The front of the sleeve is identical to the normal issue of the album but with a boxed 'Musik Für Alle' logo under the Decca logo.
The back of the sleeve has tracklisting information and a selection of artwork for eight other albums in the series.
The labels are white with black text.
The Decca logo is boxed with both 'Unverkäufl. Warenprobe Ohne Wert' & 'Echantillon gratuit Trade Sample', suggesting that the album was also destined for the French speaking market.
The labels also have 'Musik Für Alle' text, but unboxed.
On the regular release, the label was red & this text WAS boxed.
The vinyl shows some obvious light marks on both sides but this extremely good pressing negates the impact to an occasional click in places. The sonic fidelity of the reproduction is amazing with no 'burring' effect in loud passages at all. The clarity is wonderful and the full depth of the music leaps out at you, with surface noise at an absolute minimum and near silence between tracks.
This album has clearly only been played on very good equipment - normally copies of this legendary LP have been 'partied' to within an inch of their lives!
All in all, this is an amazing copy in fantastic condition with the few flaws that there are being negated by the positives of the sleeve & the pressing. You would be hard pressed to find another copy in such beautiful unworn condition - Fantastic!

| THE ARTWOODS Art Gallery (Extremely rare 1970 UK Decca Eclipse
12-track STEREO LP issue of the legendary Mod/Freakbeat classic
from 1966, unique front laminated picture sleeve with exotic sleeve
notes on the back by 'Pontius Elbows' ECS2025) Please see
'More Info' For further details on condition ...
Tracklisting: This is an album with some history ...
Still bearing the original 19/11 price sticker on the front, this copy was actually exported to Japan, which is where we found it some thirty five years later.
As a direct consequence, it has never been 'partied to death' like most copies of this classic & has sat quietly waiting for a new home, enjoying the Rising Sun in the meantime.
We came, we saw, we bought.
This album has now made the long return journey home after its extended holiday & awaits it's next careful owner.
The sleeve is superb with just a few light creases to the laminate at the edges & no edge scuffing - As good as it gets. Age has caused some laminate shrink, common where sleeves are just front laminated, leading to some lift at the spine, but this is unbroken.
The colours are bright & vibrant & there is no significant evidence of shelfwear at all.
The front of the sleeve is totally different to the normal issue of the album with a picture of the band posing in front of a stage set in a field!.
The back of the sleeve has tracklisting information, some bizarre sleeve notes 'Arthur Wood freely admits to being a man but prefers his pet dog Doreen, heavily disguised as a goldfish, not to know' etc by the previously mentioned 'Pontius Elbows' and a selection of artwork for four other albums in the series.
The labels are maroon with silver text & the Eclipse logo at the top.
The vinyl is astonishing - fresh as a daisy, minty mint, looking as new.
The clarity is wonderful and the full depth of the music leaps out at you, with surface noise at an absolute minimum and near silence between tracks.
This album has clearly only been played on very good equipment - normally copies of this legendary LP have been 'partied' to within an inch of their lives!
All in all, this is an amazing copy in fantastic condition that you would be hard pressed to find again in such a beautiful state, thanks to its extended Japanese holiday!
