Description
Harvest Records catalog # SHVL 763, stereo, copyright 1969. Pressed in the UK.
A very clean copy of ex-Soft Machine bassist Kevin Ayers' "Joy of a Toy" LP. After one LP with the Soft Machine, Ayers left the band and began his solo career. This is his first album, full of quirky pop / folk songs, which while they have some of the quirkyness and inventiveness of the Canterbury prog scene, are not at all in the style of his former band. Robert Wyatt, Mike Ratledge and Hugh Hopper all appear on this album, though, along with David Bedford, who also arranged much of the material.
Track List Side One:
- Joy of a Toy Continued
- Town Feeling
