TRACTOR - THE ROAD FROM TOWNHEAD MILL ROCHDALE - DOUBLE LP

A glorious anniversary double gatefold LP on 180 gram red vinyl + CD version unearths a mixture of past classics from Tractor's career and previously unreleased recordings.

Almost 50 years ago, John Peel confirmed his undying love for all things Rochdale by releasing an album and buying recording equipment for Rochdale band Tractor. Their important lineage in music history that can be traced through to Joy Division, New Order and The Happy Mondays via the recording studios and festivals they kick-started are explored on the inside of the gatefold.

John Peel's wife Sheila provides detailed comments for the back of the LP sleeve; John had worked at Townhead Mill in Rochdale in 1959, whilst future office sharer at the BBC, young Andy Kershaw, was attending a nursery school near the mill at the time. Andy Kershaw states, "I would say Rochdale finally emerged from the Second World War sometime around 1972…" - the year the first Tractor recordings came out on LP via John Peel . Rochdale was a hotbed of counterculture activity and that continued right through 'til the early nineties. In 1972, it had its own alternative newspaper and a group of sculptors, including the country's first graffiti artist Walter Kershaw. A 1972 open air festival in the town hosted Adrian Henri, Roger McGough and Linda Lewis with indoor gigs from Tractor, Bridget St. John, Hunter Muskett, the Strawbs and Brinsley Schwarz. The success of the 1972 Tractor recordings has continued to hold the band in high esteem for forty years.
