Kevin Ayers Albums Reissued

March 25th, 2009

Lovers of the avant-garde, the psychedelic, the progressive, the canterbury scene, art rock or just the downright bizarre, will be chuffed to buggery to hear that this coming Monday (30th March) sees the remastered reissues of three solo albums from ex-Soft Machine bassist, writer, singer and English eccentric, Kevin Ayers.

The three albums picked for some of the special treatment are Confessions of Dr. Dream and Other Stories (1974), Sweet Deceiver (1975) and Yes We Have No Mananas (1976).

Digitally remastered and promising to be “brimming with bonus material”, they should be a must for fans of the progressive rock innovator and also feature extensive BBC sessions from the John Peel show.

There’s also an in-depth interview with Kevin Ayers in the latest issue of Shindig!

Right. I’m off to purchase the Classic Rock Presents… Prog! as mentioned yesterday.

The Confessions of Doctor Dream and Other Stories, Sweet Deceiver, and Yes We Have No Mananas are reissued on EMI, released March 30th and available from Amazon UK.
