JOHN & PHILIPA COOPER - The Cooperville Times,
South Africa 1969
(fresh music)
NEW CD
It was a long search to locate the rights for this album since it was not with EMI anymore. With the help of musicians and producers from The Third Eye and Freedoms Children we've found the original producer.
He told us that the brother/sister band John & Philipa Cooper went shortly after the album was made to Britain and there it lost track.
This amazing album has the same class as Billy Nichols, Duncan Browne and Blossom Toes.
Many other musicians from S.A. where helping out.
Every track is just great. Well composed underground songs, folk rock, effects, pop tunes just the right mixture for an album full of ideas and mastercraftly played. Perhaps one of the rarest albums from S.A.
This album would have been a great success if it was produced in UK.
It just has the right feel with the combination of great songs with an 60s art-vibe. Female / male vocals, Julian Laxton on guitar, keyboards, beside Jon & Philipa 8 more musicians on the album.
just a perfect 1969 underground folk-rock.
