4-track EP on coloured vinyl featuring new or previously-unreleased tracks by: The Bevis Frond, Nick Nicely, Anton Barbeau, and Paul Roland.
Quote from the label:
Sometimes a stupid, harebrained idea CAN become a reality.
"The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen - terrible film, The League Of Psychedelic Gentlemen would have been a much better bet?", I thought, one alcohol-fuelled day. Sober the next day, if still felt like a bloody good idea, all it needed was for four cult heroes of new psychedelia to be mad enough to agree to get involved - some chance. So, after plucking up the courage to ask four musical mavericks and cult heroes whether they would ever, even vaguely consider, grovel, grovel,I staggered back to the comforting arms of Mr Carlsberg when they all said, "yes" and I realised I had to get off my backside and pull a record together that would do them justice.
And here it is, old songs, new songs, archive recordings, new recordings - each artist has contributed an exclusive track to the ep to create a cracking little 7" EP that gives you just a taster of what makes each Gent a English National Treasure (except Anton, hes from Sacramento).
Comes with a small hole, plays on 33 rpm on clear vinyl.

Songs:
NICK NICELY: Rosemary's Eyes
An October 2012 solo recording by Nick Nicely, whose return to Hilly Fields earlier in 2012 on Fruits de Mer Records was an instant sell-out. Nick is currently working on updating his Lysergia album, which should see a full release in 2013, but he wrote Rosemary's Eyes and committed it to tape or the WAV equivalent especially for this release; new psychedelia doesn't get better than this.
THE BEVIS FROND: I'm A Stone
Again, an all-new song and recording by Nick Saloman, who epitomizes what The League is all about - brilliant, eccentric, willfully uncommercial, a smashing bloke.
ANTON BARBEAU/THREE MINUTE TEASE:
When I Was 46 (In The Year 13)
Ant and his new band Three Minute Tease (with Egyptian's Andy Metcalfe on bass, Morris Windsor on drums) revisit Ant's track from a few years back, with Pat Collier from The Vibrators on production duties, and inject new life and energy into a fine song.
PAUL ROLAND: The Puppet Master
Paul took a break from recording and writing to search through his archives especially for this EP and found this wonderfully-atmospheric version of his classic song from 1980, featuring Knox (again from the Vibrators) and Robyn Hitchcock on backing vocals!
