Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

1978 Dutch Only Original. “What A Mess! It's Kind Of Glorious, But It's A Wreck. The Fallen Angels Were A Legendary Never-Were Band Of British Former Rock Icons. The Majority Of This Album Was Recorded With Former Humble Pie Guitar Picker Mickey Finn (Not The T. Rex Drummer), Teamed With Greg Ridley From Spooky Tooth, Twink Adler From The Pretty Things, And Former Fleetwood Mac Rhythm Guitarist Bob Weston. The Lineup Was Changed Almost Immediately And After Many Recruitments And Falloffs, A Lineup Fronted By Finn -- Now Including Vocalist Phil May Of Pretty Things Fame (The Band Was On Hiatus At The Time) -- Went To Geneva To Record An Album. After Six Weeks In Switzerland That Were Ruled By Rock & Roll-Styled Excess, The Fallen Angels Had Recorded Only Eight Songs -- None Of Which Were Finished. Upon Returning To The U.K., Everybody Quit But May. He Recruited Some More Players And Eventually Finished The Album With Overdubs And New Songs. Once Done, May Toured A Bit And Hung It Up By Reconvening The Pretty Things, At Which Time Finn Re-Formed The Band And Recorded Three More Songs.” – Thom Jurek, AMG
