The studio reels were given to the band by the studio engineer at Abbey Road studio around 1970-1971. In the words of Chris Mayfield 'This album was released by EMI in an obscure country to honour their contracts after things went a little strange in 1970. The album was never finished, but has become something of a thing in itself known as 'The Lost Album', with collectors of 60s music. The album has been re-released twice by labels in Europe so far. The album was recorded at Abbey Road in 1969 at the same time The Beatles were recording 'Let It Be' down the hallway. Both reels are mono and play fine, the acetate is off the same album with some scratches on side one and a few jumps here and there' Sold with a declaration of provenance from Chris Mayfield

Estimate: £500-1000
