What we say

Rating: unmoved This record left our Ant feeling unmoved.

Chris Harwood has a 7" out on Finders Keepers. 'Wooden Ships' is the second in Finders Keepers Compacta Series. Apparently her album from 35 years ago was a serious slab of collectors wax. Phil says it reminds him of the music from Taxi by Bob James. This is folk rock with Rhodes Hammond etc. Brian has piped up and said it would appeal to fans of Mr Scruff and David Holmes. It has a summery haze that reminds us of 'Le Fleur' by Minnie Ripperton. This is an edition of 500 in old 45 style where you need a 'middle' to play it. What are those middle bits called? Brian says they're called Dinks.

What the label says:

Has anybody met Chrissie Harwood? Let Finders Keepers introduce to you an elusive British artiste who made an equally elusive, immaculate album, which, in the 35 years since its original release, as if by tragic-magic, has materialised from thin air.It remains one of the most sought after English female folk-rock records ever released. Until now it has been a mystery amongst pop-historians, DJs and record collectors alike. For a short time in the early 90s the original album became a regular exhibit at record fairs where aspiring collectors and DJs would be the only buyers willing to take a gamble on this anonymous slab of vinyl, housed in its uninspiring black and white sleeve which was devoid of any information likely to inspire any of the old faire to take a punt. This limited edition 45 release of 500 copies is the second in Finders Keepers’ Compacta Series of 7” singles.

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
