Released on 31/01/11. Esoteric Recordings are pleased to release a newly re-mastered edition of the third album by legendary Ladbroke Grove underground act Skin Alley, Two Quid Deal. Formed in 1969, Skin Alley were part of the infamous Clearwater stable that included fellow acts such as Hawkwind, High Tide and Trees. Skin Alley’s infectious fusion of jazz and rock was suited to the time and the band became a regular attraction on the underground festival and concert circuit. Signing to CBS records in the autumn of 1969, the band recorded two albums for the label and underwent a change to their line- up before departing cbs and appearing at the 1971 Glastonbury Fayre. Soon after the band signed to transatlantic records and recorded their third album at Rockfield studios with producer fritz fryer. Arguably their finest effort, two quid deal includes the classic sun music (recorded in a different version for the album Glastonbury Fayre ), Nick’s Seven, Skin Valley Serenarge & Graveyard Shuffle. This reissue is re-mastered from the original tapes, restores all of the original album artwork & includes two bonus tracks.
Nick’s Seven / So Many People / Bad Words & Evil People / Graveyard Shuffle / So Glad / A Final Coat / Skin Valley Serenade / The Demagogue / Sun Music / Bonus Tracks -You Got Me Danglin / A-Side Of Single - Sun Music (Glastonbury Fayre Version)
