I’ve Got To Admit It’s Getting Bretter!

Having cut his teeth in the Sixties, Paul Brett fronted his own band (Paul Brett's Sage) before going solo in 1973 to develop his considerable skills on guitar. Cherry Red now present some twenty albums by this maestro of the twelve-string, from folk rock-styled mid-70s LPs like Clocks and Phoenix Future to

Do The Wobble, Baby

Wobble Jaggle Jiggle were an English psychedelic rock band active in Brighton during the 1990s. Their style and image was based heavily on 1960s psychedelia and heavy drug references, with the band's name taken from guitarist and vocalist Robert 'Wobbly Bob' Chambers' description of a drug experience. Many of his lyrics alluded to the counter-culture

An Optimal Illusion

The Mirage were a late 1960s psychedelic pop band from London, who later became Jawbone. Their most notable releases were perhaps the 1967 single ‘The Wedding Of Ramona Blair’ and their cover of The Beatles’ psych classic ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’.

Crazy Brown Sound

Forever associated with his 1968 chart-topper ‘Fire’, the once crazy Arthur Brown is an old friend of Cherry Red’s. We represent most of his catalogue dating back more than a half century, from the mid-60s onwards. In addition to his albums under the Kingdom Come name from the early 70s (popular

Psychedelic Apples

If you say Apple, in relation to late 60s music, most people think of The Beatles. However, Apple was also the name taken by a Welsh psychedelic band.   Founded in 1968, they were signed by Larry Page to his Page One label and made two singles and a hugely collectable album in 1969, An Apple

Them Psychedelic Gypsies

After Van Morrison disbanded what were indisputably Northern Ireland's finest R&B band, Them, in 1966, some members re-emerged with a new band, The Belfast Gypsies.   Playing a tougher, more psychedelic style of R&B (now often labelled freakbeat), they made just one album, entitled Them Belfast Gypsies (issued on Sonet) in 1967 before dissolving. Cherry Red now represent the rights

Spirit Of The 70s

Cherry Red are now the proud custodians of some key back catalogue by legendary West Coast psychedelic band Spirit.   Although not released until 1981, The Adventures of Kaptain Kopter & Commander Cassidy in Potato Land was actually recorded in the early 1970s by key Spirit members Randy California and Ed Cassidy.    Long consider a cult classic,
