Description

"Traditional Bard and the Future Inevitable" LP by Pagan Bo (also known as Pagan Beau). Vinyl: MINT condition, Sleeve: MINT condition

This is the album written & performed by Kevin Hobbi of Hobbies Of Today, a band which had formed as a punk outfit in early 1977, and who had recorded a storming 3 track EP which sadly was not released at the time (it's a long story...), but which eventually gained release in 2014.  

The mk1 lineup of the band dissolved in mid 1977, and by 1979, mk 2 of Hobbies Of Today had recorded and issued the awesome "Metal Boys" 7" single.  Between the mk 1 and mk 2 versions of Hobbies Of Today, lead guitarist and main songwriter Kevin Hobbi decided to record and release the Traditional Bard LP, via the tiny Planet Records label, of Doncaster, South Yorkshire.  The songs are in effect the Hobbies Of Today live set, performed mainly acoustically, and with a little help from other local musicians (including Stuart Holey, also of Hobbies Of Today).  

300 records were pressed, each one housed in a DIY stencilled hand numbered sleeve, with typed tracklist stuck on the reverse.  The record sold modestly upon release, but over the years, to save storage space, an unknown number have been destroyed.

Luckily, this example has survived intact, and is in stunning MINT condition.  The vinyl is UNPLAYED, and the sleeve is pristine ... Some very slight darkening of the white card sleeve has occurred over the intervening  37 years, but the stencil colours look perfect.

A Discogs reviewer describes the record thus: "Musically it's psyched out early T-Rex bongo jammers with Bolanesque vocals and Skip Spence, Syd Barrett kind of psyched out acid adventures. First track 'Dinosaurs' takes you at once to the truth.  Short tracks but most with a strong convinced edge"

Winning bidder pays insured/tracked postage/courier charge, or alternatively, collects from Sheffield/SouthYorkshire area free of charge

Please feel free to ask any questions about the record!
