NEW LP

REISSUE

ITHACA - A game for all who know

1972 UK psych/progressive private pressing megararity - is the same band that made AGINCOURT two years earlier.

A UK underground psych-folk holy grail, originally released in a tiny private run in 1973, returns to vinyl.

Ithaca featured Peter Howell and John Ferdinando, who also were responsible for collectable acid/psych-folk LP's by Agincourt and Friends, as well as the score to the low budget movie 'Tomorrow Come Someday' and the cult 'Alice Through The Looking Glass' theatre soundtrack.

Also present on a couple of tracks is female vocalist Lee Menelaus, who's just as impressive here as on Agincourt's 1970 'Fly Away' album. If your looking for pastoral psych-folk at its best, look no further! In the '70s Peter Howell would become an influential member of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.
