A great band from the UK. Previously known as Kaleidoscope. They have released 4 albums in total, but only one as Fairfield Parlour. Great sound, great lyrics, great everything. Surely a favorite of mine. And I'm not exaggerating. Please listen to them, I'll share their older albums at a later time.

Band information:
By the end of the decade, failing with their last single "Balloon", the band moved on with their new manager DJ David Symonds, whom they met during the BBC sessions, as Fairfield Parlour, with the same line up. Despite the fact that they were now being called a progressive rock band, their music did not change much and still included fairy-tale lyrics with psychedelic harmony. The band's first single as Fairfield Parlour, "Bordeaux Rosé", was released on 17 April 1970 on theVertigo label. It got a considerable amount of radio airplay, but failed to achieve success. After releasing several singles, the album From Home to Home was released on 14 August 1970 with Symond's production. While the band was getting ready to release the album, they again used another name for themselves, I Luv Wight, as they were asked to record the theme tune for the Isle of Wight Festival, "Let the World Wash in", which got released a week after the release of the albumFrom Home to Home. They made the opening for the festival as Fairfield Parlour. The band's second album, White Faced Lady, which they financed independently, was recorded in Morgan Studios in London. Attempts at finding a record company failed and the album was shelved until 1991 when it was released under the name Kaleidoscope on their own label. The band's last appearance was at a concert in Bremen, Germany, in 1972.
In 2003, the independent record label Circle released the Kaleidoscope and Fairfield Parlour's 1967 to 1971 BBC radio sessions recordings in an album called Please Listen To The Pictures.
thank you very much, julia
