London Stone

“So many of his songs still thrill in their own right” Pitchfork Following this year’s Record Store Day reissues of ‘Miasma’ and ‘Inner Marshland’, The Bevis Frond will be reissuing their catalogue in the lead up to the 30th Anniversary next year. Lost masterpiece ‘London Stone’ (1991) was the follow-up to ‘New River Head’. Opening with traditional violin piece ‘Stonedance’ by Barry Dransfield it leads into the impressive ‘Coming Round’. “That Same Morning” ‘can stand proudly beside contemporaries like Teenage Fanclub’ (Pitchfork) whilst ‘Living Soul’ sees Saloman waxing Hendrix and ‘Lord Of Nothing’ revisits the folk rock side of Nick’s song writing. The ‘London Stone’ double LP and CD reissue includes bonus tracks ‘Another Song About Dying’, ‘Coming Around (demo), ‘Scavenger’, ‘And Now She’s Gone (demo), ‘I Am Just A Child’ and ‘Hail The Child Philosopher’.
