Formed in 1968, Skin Alley were part of the infamous Clearwater stable that included fellow acts such as Hawkwind, High Tide, Trees and Cochise. The band’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.
Skin Alley recorded their self-titled debut album for CBS Records in November 1969 with former Pretty Things guitarist Dick Taylor producing. The band’s second album, ‘To Pagham and Beyond’ was recorded in 1970, along with a shelved soundtrack album for an unreleased film about the German model Verushka.
In June 1971 Skin Alley performed at the legendary Glastonbury Fayre and the following year they contributed a track to the fund-raising triple album of the same name which also featured The Grateful Dead, David Bowie, Marc Bolan, Gong and Hawkwind among others. Signing to Transatlantic Records in 1972 they released the album ‘Two Quid Deal’ later that year. Their final album, ‘Skintight’, was issued in 1973.
This 4CD set has been newly remastered and is a fine tribute to one of Britain’s great unsung underground acts of the early 1970s includes all of Skin Alley’s albums and rare single tracks, along with the shelved Stop Verushka! soundtrack and the version of ‘Sun Music’ from Glastonbury Fayre.
