However, they did record a single BBC session for the Andy Kershaw show – and those four blasts of madcap organ-swirling psych are now released on vinyl by Precious Recordings of London.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Green Telescope started out in 1981 as ardent ambassadors for 60s-style psychedelic sounds, soon becoming well known around Edinburgh for putting together exotic-sounding shows featuring freak-out style lights. A couple of line-up changes later, they took fresh inspiration from the British beat group era plus the US\/European teen garage-punk explosion – think ‘Nuggets’ and ‘Pebbles’.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere were only two singles – including the much-sought-after ‘Face In A Crowd’ seven-inch –  so this session is a proper one-off, capturing the spirit and sound of the times via a swirling organ, a psych heart and three totally unreleased tracks. Plus one that was recorded only 20 years later in a different version by The Thanes. … and don’t miss their inimitable cover of the Driving Stupid’s ‘Horror Asparagus Stories’!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Precious Recordings of London","offers":[{"title":"Black 10\"","offer_id":50933700591947,"sku":"2235304","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/048_1400_4a106b21_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1733355079","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/andy-kershaw-session-230186","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
