• Honeybus - 'Story'

  From Rev-ola: "In recent years Honeybus have outgrown the one hit wonder tag (I Can t Let Maggie Go) that plagued them for years and become one of the most treasured British bands of the late 60s. The band cut three singles in 1967 and 68, written and fronted by Pete Dello who promptly quit after Maggie hit and embarked on a fascinating and complex solo career. Not to be outdone, the band re-grouped and cut three further singles and an album that almost never got released. Blending the kind of pure, crystalline folk-tinged baroque pop that had characterised most of their singles with flashes of psychedelia, country and bubblegum, the twelve songs that make up Story are uniformly stunning creations, played with skill and confidence, arranged for strings and woodwind and blessed with a sympathetic, understated production" Includes all eleven non-album Deram single sides, restored original album artwork and the Honeybus story with input from the band themselves.
