KEVIN AYERS
Whatevershebringswesing

UK HARVEST (SHVL 800) 2nd PRESSING OF KEVIN AYERS' SENSATIONAL THIRD SOLO LP - HIS FINEST PIECE OF WORK - A FOLK-ROCK-PSYCH MASTERPIECE EVEN INCORPORATING ELEMENTS OF COUNTRY AND CLASSICAL AND DELIVERING FLAWLESS AUDIO (ON MY SYSTEM AT A VERY LOUD VOLUME!) WITH A BEAUTIFUL CRYSTAL CLEAR, DEEP, RICH AND WARM SOUND - GREAT LP, EXCEPTIONAL COPY

THE RECORD IS IN UNPLAYED, UNMARKED MINT CONDITION AND THE LABELS ARE CLEAN AND BRIGHT WITH NO SPINDLE TRACES - THEY CARRY THE LATER "EMI" RIM TEXT, SO THIS COPY PROBABLY DATES FROM THE MID-1970s BUT IT STILL HAS THE CONTINUOUS PLAY OF "Lullaby" INTO THE SIDE TWO RUN-OFF GROOVE
MATRIX NUMBERS: SHVL 800 A-1 / SHVL 800 B-1
MOTHERS/STAMPERS: 1/AA and 1/AH
AND IT'S HOUSED IN THE (NOW, NON-TEXTURED) GATEFOLD SLEEVE "Printed and made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd.” AND COMES COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL "EMI IMPORTANT NOTICE" INNER SLEEVE WITH PRINTING IN BLUE TEXT
BOTH THE GATEFOLD COVER AND THE WHITE INNER SLEEVE ARE ALSO MINT

BEAUTIFUL, UNPLAYED, UNTOUCHED COPY OF KEVIN AYERS' PSYCH MASTERPIECE - VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Whatevershebringswesing is the third solo album by Kevin Ayers.
In 1971, Kevin Ayers started recording what would become his most acclaimed album, Whatevershebringswesing accompanied by members of Gong and his previous backing band The Whole World.
Praised by NME, Record Mirror and Rolling Stone, the album realised all the musical aspirations Ayers had harboured since the inception of Soft Machine.
As with most Ayers albums, a collision of disparate styles confronts the listener but in this instance they work to extremely powerful effect. The title track with Mike Oldfield's guitar accompaniment and Robert Wyatt’s wracked harmonies would become a template for Ayers subsequent 70s output.
The album opens with David Bedford’s “There Is Loving Among Us” accompanied by his dramatic string arrangement. This segues into the vignettes “Margaret” and “Oh My” where Ayers juxtaposes terse lyrics against measured backing.
“Song From A Bottom of a Well” marries a Stockhausen-esque arrangement to Ayers’ cryptic lyric “This is a song from the bottom of a well / There are things down here / I've got to try and tell”.
“Stranger in Blue Suede Shoes”, a flirtation with Ayers love of early rock and roll, would become a staple of his live set for years to come and a song he would re-record twice that decade.
Many critics and fans have cited Whatevershebringswesing as their favourite Ayers album and it remains to this day a best seller in his catalogue

Track Listing:
Side A: There Is Loving Among Us There Is Loving / Margaret / Oh My / Song From The Bottom Of A Well
Side B: Whatevershebringswesing / Stranger In Blue Suede Shoes / Champagne Cowboy Blues / Lullaby
