NOTES
Authentic, psychedelic library vibes from the golden era meticulously recreated in
the new millennium. This is the expanded version of the Natural Yogurt Band's now
out-or-print debut album, with three never before released bonus tracks.
It didn't take much: Gerald "Jazzman" Short signed this mysterious UK-based duo based
on their brooding, beat-heavy, difficult-to-categorize demo, conveyed his signings
love of Galt MacDermot, David Axelrod and Ennio Morricone's 60s and 70s masterpieces
to Egon, and the duo hatched a plan for an expanded North American issue of what had
already been hailed as a fine release in keeping with the best "library music" issues
of the same era.
It's taken well over a year, in which time the NYB's album has gone out of print as
Jazzman's limited run was never repressed. This version comes expanded with three
bonus tracks never before issued and comes packaged as a gatefold, thick cardboard
"pasted on" silver foil 10" double LP and CD. This North American version is also
limited to 1,000 pieces in each format - once they're gone, they're gone.
