Product Description
Roger McGough and Mike McGear were members of The Scaffold, a British music/poetry/comedy act that scored several hits (most notably “Thank U Very Much,” “Lily the Pink” and “Liverpool Lou”) on the British charts during the ‘60s and ‘70s, when they recorded this album in 1967. However, none of those hits appear here, and the album itself never made the charts. So why does this record trade for hundreds of dollars in collector circles? Well, for starters, Mike McGear’s given name is Mike McCartney, and his well-known brother guests on and helped to produce the album. But like we said, that’s just for starters—though you wouldn’t know it from the album credits. A virtual cavalcade of British and American rock royalty appear on this record, including John Mayall, Spencer Davis, Paul Samwell-Smith and, on the last track, “Ex Art Student,” Graham Nash on vocals and some guy named Hendrix on guitar and sitar. And the music? It’s a perfectly delightful period piece of psychedelic whimsy, right down Main Street for fans of the Bonzo Dog Band, Monty Python and Ogden’s Nut Gone Flake. Our Real Gone reissue features liner notes by Richie Unterberger featuring quotes from both Roger McGough and Mike McGear (who goes by Mike McCartney, now that it’s safe). Essential ‘60s pop culture!

Just got mine in the mail today from amazWAN. Given the going rate for the original CD issue, I'm glad to get this. I've never heard any of it though, so it might be crap for all I know...

I have this on collectors CD, 'So Much & Ex art student' feature Jimi Hendrix, he may also be on some other tracks, not bad psyc 60s pop.

Cool to see this one reissued. Now I can retire my scratchy vinyl copy!

No kidding.
