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.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.
