In late 1969, Angel Pavement linchpin Alfie Shepherd took time out from the group's hectic schedule to demo a concept album that he'd written around his favourite childhood story, Kenneth Grahame's timeless The Wind In The Willows. Sadly Angel Pavement broke up before they'd had the chance to record the work, which was duly left to gather dust. Some forty years later, Alfie's homemade recording of the proposed album finally gets a long-overdue release. Bolstered by a clutch of similarly unissued home demos from the same timeframe, The Wind In The Willows is now revealed as one of the great lost projects of the late 1960s, a thrilling psychedelic pop song-suite that's bursting with melodic invention, ambitious vocal arrangements and the boundless spirit of adventure that characterised the era.
