Dark Round The Edges

Seelie Court - the world's premier label for rare and previously unreleased archive recordings of underground folk, rock, proto-metal, and psychedelic music presents 'Dark Round The Edges', an album that captures a fleeting moment in British psychedelic history. Recorded at SIS Studios, Northampton, UK, between 9th and 13th July 1972, this was a project born from the urgency of a band on the verge of splitting. Only 64 copies were ever produced-14 in colour gatefold, 12 black-and-white gatefolds, and the rest in black-and-white single sleeves, each accompanied by lyric booklets. Originally sold for £3, these rare originals now fetch staggering sums, with black-and-white gatefolds reaching £11,000 and colour gatefolds as high as £31,000. The iconic "Girl on the Settee" cover was not intended as the front shot; the original release featured the band on a building site, though later reissues cemented the girl's image as synonymous with the album. A late addition, Martin joined just a month before recording, having met the band while supporting Status Quo at The Rock Club, Wellingborough, in May 1972. A truly legendary, ephemeral record.
