Issued by underground imprint RCA Neon in mid-1971, the Shape of the Rain album Riley Riley Wood \u0026amp; Waggett sold poorly at the time despite glowing reviews from the British music weeklies. A surging collision of Beatlesesque writing and harmonies and Byrds-like jingle-jangle guitars, sadly it would take another couple of decades before the LP was finally disinterred by a new generation of record collectors. Half-a-century after it's original release, that lost jewel of an album finally gets the attention it deserves as the cornerstone of Grapefruit's definitive new anthology of a criminally neglected late '60s\/early '70s British band. In addition to that 1971 album, our release features a post-LP single, a clutch of studio demos, taped rehearsals and alternative versions as well as more than a dozen previously-unissued demos of material for an aborted second album. Recorded in 1972 by band leader and chief vocalist\/songwriter Keith Riley, these songs are a staggering new find, occupying similar musical territory to newly-solo McCartney, Badfinger man Pete Ham's home demos and Chris Bell's post-Big Star work. Our release also features some incendiary Shape of the Rain live recordings, including a 50-minute show from May 1970 that stands as a rare and enthralling document of a West Coast-influenced English psychedelic band captured in full and glorious flow at the turn of the decade. Boasting a 24-page booklet that includes numerous rare photos as well as a new history of the band, this expanded, four-hour edition of Riley Riley Wood \u0026amp; Waggett features approximately two hours of previously unreleased music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shape of the Rain","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41990976307388,"sku":"B084QLM87T","price":77.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0311\/4699\/9943\/files\/e57c53ecc954687ae748183777815188d959bc98_BD5899776B.jpg?v=1768283874","url":"https:\/\/techstudio.ch\/products\/shape-of-the-rain-riley-riley-wood-waggett","provider":"techstudio.ch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
