SIREN - Siren & Strange Locomotion (1969-70 UK Blues Psych Folksy)

DOIS VENENOS EM UM FRASCO SÓ DESSA ÓTIMA E OBSCURA BANDA DE BLUES PSYCH COM ALGUMAS PITADAS DE FOLK!! "KEVIN COYNE", UM SUBESTIMADO MUSICO, ANTES DE INICIAR UMA CARREIRA SOLO FOI O "CARA" DA BANDA SIREN QUE GRAVOUS ESSES DOIS DISCOS E LOGO A BANDA TERMINOU!! "KEVIN COYNE" TEM UMA HISTÓRIA INTERESSANTE: "QUANDO JIM MORRISON MORREU ELE FOI CONVIDADO PRA SUBTITUIR JIM NA BANDA THE DOORS!! ELE NÃO SE INTERESSOU E SEGUIU SEU PRÓPRIO CAMINHO!! O GUITARRISTA "DAVE CLAGUE" ERA DA BANDA "BONZO DOG BAND"!! APESAR DE SER EDITADO PELA DANDELION LABEL DE JOHN PEEL, NEM AS GRAVAÇÕES DA BANDA NEM DA CARREIRA SOLO DE COYNE VENDERAM BEM, EMBORA ATUALMENTE SEJA MUITO PROCURADO POR COLECIONADORES MUNDO AFORA!! VENENO RARO E RECOMENDADO!!


In 1995, Edsel released Strange Locomotion/Siren, which contained two complete albums -- Strange Locomotion, originally released on Dandelion in 1969, and Siren, originally released on Elektra in 1971 -- by Kevin Coyne's first band, the eclectic British blues-rock group Siren, together on one compact disc. ~ Tim Sendra, All Music Guide

Dandelion label. Mick Gratton replaced Chichester on lead guitar for the second album, but soon afterwards the group disintegrated. Coyne made a further album for Dandelion, Case History, and later a series of albums for Virgin, which did not attract the attention they deserved. Many of Coyne's recordings were influenced by his experiences as a social therapist in a Preston psychiatric hospital and later, upon his move to London, as a social worker in Camden. Despite plugs by John Peel, neither Siren or Coyne's solo recordings sold well, although most are now sought-after by record collectors. They also recorded two 45s as Clague.

Need help! I'm looking for the USA release of "Strange Locomotion" (Dandelion Records) featuring the song "Lillian". This song has haunted me for 30 years and my copy was destroyed in hurricane IVAN a few years ago. Why it was released only on the US version of the album I have no idea.... but no one seems to have a copy of it... am I going Mad???? Did I just dream this up on the desert one night years ago???
