The Chelsea Sessions 1967

MI0001585530

Demo recordings prior to recording The 5000 Spirits or the Layers of the Onionr fleshed out with tracks from the Wee Tam and the Big Huge sessions in 1968. 

Hughesy's assessment: Works in progress that, largely, were the writer having a go at the new material without anything much in the way of decoration.It's easy to see producer Joe Boyd sending the duo back to do more writing with a We haven't got an album yet, boys.  Academic/archaeoligical interest only, I fear, but Interesting and mostly Acceptable, given the background.
