All the music on this album is improvised. The sounds are acoustic and no electrics are involved. The music vocabulary of 'Ovary Lodge' has developed out of 'blows' as opposed to rehearsals. In the three years that the group has been in existence there has been no discussion between members as to musical direction. For those of you who are interested in other areas we explore, check out 'Blueprint' RCA SF8290 and 'Ovary Lodge' RCA SF8372.
During playback and mixing the members of the group were unsure at times who was playing what. So, in danger of sounding dogmatic, I suggest to the listener that he or she forgets there are four people on this recording and tries hearing it as an orchestra. K.T.
Live recording at Nettlefold Hall, London SE27, 6 August 1975 by Keith Beal. Album mixed and edited in Hastings by Keith Beal and Ovary Lodge. All music composed by Ovary Lodge.

There are a few pin-prick holes along the spine of the album cover and a 'Jem' Sticker on the front with remains of another sticker; otherwise the cover is in superb condition; still in it shrink-wrap; Record itself plays superbly.
Any quibbles with the quality of goods, and buyer can return the items in the same condition they left me, for a full refund.
