Kevin Ayers - Bananmour (Remastered Edition)

Vinyl LP pressing. Classic 1973 album features Robert Wyatt, Steve Hillage and Mike Ratledge. Remastered from the original master tapes cut at Abbey Road Studios. A founder member of SOFT MACHINE, Kevin embarked on a solo career in 1969, signing to EMI's Harvest label, for whom he would record a series of wonderful and stylistically eclectic albums.

'BANANAMOUR' was Kevin's final album for Harvest during his first tenure with the label and the sessions were undertaken with a band featuring Archie Legget (bass, vocals) and Eddie Sparrow (drums), alongside Kevin. Featuring such classic tracks as 'Decadence' (an ode to Nico),'Oh! Wot a Dream' (an affectionate tribute to Syd Barrett), 'Interview' and 'Shouting in a Bucket Blues', the album is regarded as one of Kevin Ayers' best works.
