{"product_id":"arts-gallery","title":"Arts Gallery","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe new release from Top Sounds Records honours one of the mid 1960’s most revered cult bands with the label’s first single artist long playing record and CD – the Artwoods! The Artwoods – Art Wood, Derek Griffiths, Malcolm Pool, Keef Hartley and future Deep Purple organist Jon Lord – recorded for Decca, Parlophone and Fontana from 1964 to 1967 and their Decca back catalogue in particular has been well documented by retrospective re-issues and compilations. The thirteen canvasses in \u003ci\u003eArt’s Gallery\u003c\/i\u003e however are sourced completely from three live radio sessions that the Artwoods recorded for the BBC during 1965 and early 1966 and were not known to still exist. The British Broadcasting Corporation saved a number of tracks the group played for the Beeb and these have since appeared on the Cherry Red \u003ci\u003eSteady Getting It\u003c\/i\u003e set, the rest of the Artwoods’ radiophonic output however was not kept by the BBC with the tapes being erased or junked. Thanks to diligent home taping by a particularly keen fan at the time, the Artwoods’ music for radio on \u003ci\u003eArt’s Gallery\u003c\/i\u003e can again be heard in public for the first time in over fifty years. And besides welcome live takes of familiar favourites such as \u003ci\u003eOh My Love, She Knows What To Do\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDon’t Cry No More\u003c\/i\u003e, there’s a spoil of cool numbers that the band never committed to disc. There’s the upbeat jazz of \u003ci\u003eThat Healin’ Feelin \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eSmack Dab In The Middle\u003c\/i\u003e, the slow burning blues of \u003ci\u003eHow Long, How Long Blues\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBlack Mountain Blues\u003c\/i\u003e, the soulful grooves of \u003ci\u003eOut Of Sight\u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e I Got A Woman\u003c\/i\u003e and the pure mod suave of\u003ci\u003e Comin’ Home Baby\u003c\/i\u003e (and more!). The music has been restored to the highest possible standards from the only known surviving reel to reel recordings and Top Sounds feel sure there’s a splendid time for all to be had from a visit to \u003ci\u003eArt’s Gallery\u003c\/i\u003e!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP - The vinyl version features a profusely illustrated 16 page ‘Radio Times’ sized booklet with a story featuring contributions from lead guitarist Derek Griffiths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCD - Comes with a 24 page edition. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50427122680139,"sku":"1063913","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":51245884997963,"sku":"2228433","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/ec2a32a4-2d39-4f37-b1d9-7c55cb06552d_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726821941","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/arts-gallery","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
