Grandfather

Digitally re-mastered and expanded edition of this 1971 album featuring five bonus tracks. Essex-based band Dear Mr. Time's Psych/Prog concept album Grandfather has been one of the most highly sought after albums of it's era. Heavily influenced by the Moody Blues and early King Crimson, Grandfather was recorded in mid-1970 and issued by the tiny Square Records in February 1971, but was only pressed in a total quantity of 1000 copies. This definitive release is taken from the original master tapes, and adds five superb home demos recorded around the same time as the album by guitarist and chief songwriter Chris Baker. It tells the group's story for the first time, and includes many previously unpublished photographs. Wooden Hill.
