Item :
PETER HAMMILL ~ FOOL'S MATE LP
Original 1971 U.K. stereo pressing released on the pink scroll Charisma label CAS 1037.
Description :
Very rare and hard to find prog classic that has become increasingly collectable over the last few years.
Hammill's solo career coexisted with Van der Graaf Generator's activities. The band was offered a contract by Mercury Records in 1968, that only Hammill signed. When Van der Graaf Generator broke up in 1969 he wanted to record his first solo album. In the summer of 1969 Hammill had a residency at The Lyceum and played weekly solo concerts there. Eventually the intended solo album was released under the Van der Graaf Generator banner as their first album (The Aerosol Grey Machine). Hammill's first real solo album was Fool's Mate (1971), containing songs from the early (1967/68) Van der Graaf Generator days.
