KEVIN AYERS ‘BANANAMOUR’ ORIGINAL HARVEST VINYL LP IN TEXTURED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
For a while in 1972, Ayers linked up with bassist Archie Leggett to play live as "Kevin Ayers and Archibald." In September of that year, they were joined by Lol Coxhill and David Bedford (who had played in the Whole World with Ayers), as well as occasional guests, to present a musical revue of sorts, Banana Follies. The September 20, 1972 show was recorded for the BBC, and is preserved on this LP, with guests George Wilson (the actor) and Johnny Clifford (a conga player).
This is a curious mixture of the calm but quirky prog-rock Ayers was known for in the early 1970s with the gently humorous vaudeville that you might expect from someone like the Bonzo Dog Band. There are some typically good, wry Ayers tunes, presented in conventional rock arrangements, such as "Whatevershebringswesing," "Take Me to Tahiti," "Fake Mexican Tourist Blues," and the Syd Barrett tribute "O Wot a Dream.”
Sleeve condition: unmarked, unwritten and showing very little wear. Small discolouration on front of cover. Otherwise, Ex++
Record condition: unmarked and plays flawlessly. Near Mint.
It would be very difficult to find another in this stunning condition!
