I can't remember where I found this - probably a flea market in London some years ago. Released in 1973 on the Charisma label. O'Riley (Jim Pembroke) went to Harrow School of Art and later fell in love with a Finnish au pair in Finchley and followed her back to Helsinki in 1965. He stayed and joined a band called Wigwam who make up some of the musicians on this odd recording. Complete line up includes - Ronnie Osterburg- Drums, Mats Hulden, Pekka Pohjola and Mosse Groundstroem - basses, Jukka Gustavson - organ . Jim pembroke played piano, harmonium, bass, guitar, harmonica and vocals.

Some interesting listening here, Thanks! Cheers!
Thanks for dropping by coffee messiah. Glad you found something to your taste.
Wicked Ivory has been a favourite album of mine for years. Delighted someone else has even heard of it.
The Wigwam album 'The Dark Album' carries the full 11-minute version of Grass For Blades and is well worth seeking out
No problem kraftwerk. I'm glad to find someone else that's ever heard of it too!
