De Grey,Jan Duke Sorcerers / Mice & Rats In The Loft CD

Digitally remastered two CD set containing two rare British Acid Folk gems. Led by the inscrutably gnomic Derek Noy, Yorkshire-based outfit Jan Dukes de Grey briefly emerged in the late '60s to deliver two of the rarest, most sought-after albums in the British Acid Folk lexicon, Sorcerers and the extraordinary Mice And Rats in the Loft, before disappearing into the ether once more. Some four decades after they were recorded, both albums are finally collected under one roof, thereby charting the startling musical and personal journey undertaken by a band that metamorphosed overnight from beatific flower children singing newly-minted hymns to Mother Nature to paranoid, knife-wielding refugees from Witchfinder General. With the addition of a little-known post-band single, this vital new release unveils the band's story for the first time, featuring numerous previously unpublished photos and first-ever quotes from the newly-unearthed Derek Noy. Cherry Tree. 2009.
