SOFT MACHINE - MEGA RARE FIRST SINGLE - POLYDOR 1967



 

 

THE SOFT MACHINE

 LOVE MAKES SWEET MUSIC

FEELIN' REELIN' SQUEELIN'

Here is the Mega Rare first Soft Machine UK 45 on the Polydor Label Cat No 56151 released 1967.

 "Love Makes Sweet Music" was the first single released by the Psychedelic rock group Soft Machine. It is one of the first British Psychedelic releases, predating Pink Floyd's "Arnold Layne" by a month. The A-Side is more pop orientated, featuring Robert Wyatt on lead vocals. The other side, ‘Feelin’ Reelin Squeelin’ is a disturbing tour de force with Kevin Ayers handling the lead vocal and an elliptical series of strange noises and flute in the solo.

One really has to wonder what planets aligned to make this little record happen. Picture this: the A side of the record was produced by Chas Chandler, ex Animals bass player (who had left that group to manage The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Eire Apparent, Soft Machine and other acts). The flip side of the record was produced by American West Coast rock rebel/gadfly Kim Fowley. The fadeout of "Feelin' Reelin' Squeelin'" was Fowley's production over the screeching feedback Ayers' line "I close my eyes on your soft guitar..." "I really think we really got it right on our first single," Robert Wyatt said in my 1998  interview. Contrary to popular rumor, Hendrix does not riff along with the band on this debut though they would supposedly attend numerous recording dates with him otherwise as time went on. However, the single itself only made the so-so sales, putting a slight crimp in the group's plan for stardom.
