Wilde returned to the studio to record two songs that are also on this EP. These recording lay to rest for two decades until now. 'Blood From A Stone' and 'Skeleton Farm' with the former backing line up of The Fuzztones. Wilde taking over the lead vocals and two of those tracks are on this EP. (At the end of the '80s, while tour managing The Fuzztones, Gary Wilde would sing encores on several stages across Europe to enthusiastic receptions, hence the idea to record with Mr. (Garage 13 from Finland and Samesugas from Spain: great r'n'R between Gluecifer and Motorhead!) Think late-period Soft Boys, Dukes Of Stratosphear, The Nazz and any number of bands who went a bit psych and wobbly in '67!) The Galileo 7's sound leans in a more pop-psych direction than some of Allan's previous rougher-hewn combos.
Playing with such Medway notables as Graham Day, Billy Childish and James Taylor, his reputation was as the reliable sideman for more flamboyant figures. As a member of such semi-legends as the Prisoners, The Solarflares and JTQ, Allan Crockford has played an important part in establishing the Medway area's reputation as a hotbed for spirited, uncompromising garage rock with a strong DIY ethic. (The 2014 album from GALILEO 7! This vinyl version comes shrink wrapped with an exclusive 3-track CDEP called 'Mere Self Anomaly' and download codes. (2019 album from Medway's finest psych-beat combo! From humble beginnings 10 years ago as a DIY outlet for Allan Crockford's songwriting ambitions (he was rarely afforded such luxuries as bass-wielding anchorman of The Prisoners, JTQ, Prime Movers, Solarflares et al) The Galileo 7 has evolved into a powerhouse live act delivering the kind of lysergically-inclined technicolour garage-rock rarely witnessed these days one born of experience, exploration and an enjoyment of one's own craft.įollowing a period of fluctuation, the present line-up stabilised around Crockford (vocals, guitar), Paul Moss (bass, vocals), Viv Bonsels (keyboard, vocals) and the busiest man in garage, Matthew 'Mole' Lambert (drums, vocals) - yep, there are a lot of vocals in the mix here and the record is all the brighter for it)
