July - The Second Of July 1969 uk, psych rock)

presents all the tracks from a 1995 compilation called The Second of July. The fourteen tracks are made up of those historic demos by Newman and Cook which have been augmented slightly, mainly with drums. Here, we witness the duo trying out wild psychedelic ideas from inside various flats in Ealing. Though it's obviously a do-it-yourself affair, these songs display a certain confidence in their material which is all the more intriguing considering the era in which they were created.


They might not be a household name, but July is a band you ought to know. The U.K. psych-rockers have garnered a cult following since the release of their self-titled 1968 record. Original mono copies sell for more than three grand online, but its not just the scarcity and desirability of the album that raises eyebrows; it's the high quality of the music. Though their singles may not have charted back in the day, the five-piece Ealing-based group is still considered by psych-rock enthusiasts to be one of the unsung heroes of the genre.
