C.O.B.-Moyshe Mcstiff and the Tartan Lancers of the Sacred Heart-'72 FOLK-NEW CD
Moyshe McStiff & The Tartan Lancers Of The Sacred Heart.
NEW CD
SUNBEAM RECORDS
stunning mystical folk album from 1972 by ex-Incredible String Band member Clive Palmer and friends, is one of the very best of its kind.
Despite it's Eastern mystical leanings, there is little actually mystical about the origins of the record: 'Moyshe McStiff' is a reference to the Scots-Jewish lineage of one of the band members, and the 'Tartan Lancer' was their local off licence!! Nevertheless this remains one of THE key albums of the acid-folk boom, much loved by everyone from Stephen Malkmus of Pavement to David Tibet of Current 93, who covered 'The Song Of Solomon' on their 'Seven Seals' EP.
Other key tracks include 'Chain Of Love' 'Brown Eyed One' and 'Martha And Mary', some of the most beautiful music of their era, and this edition adds their very rare (and stylistically out of place) single 'Blue Morning/Bones' from 1974, which leans towards reggae!!
