JW Farquhar - The Formal Female lp '72

info

The Formal Female was recorded by Farquhar at home in his apartment in Philadelphia in 1972. He played all the instruments. In an effort to keep out alla the street noise and gunshots he sealed up all of his windows with foam and locked himself in. The whole arc of the album's concept seems to be based around a lambasting of womankind as a result of the fallout from a recently terminated ten year marriage. Whether it's a case of sour grapes or a genuine outcry against the materialistic nature of the woman during that time period of 1972 as Farquhar himself claims isn't immediately any clearer for listening to the record but either way it's a fascinating slice of ambitious, primitively lo-fi private press psych with an extreme lonesome/marginalised edge and some great fuzz and F/X. There are points where he gets into a whole schizophrenic exchange between two characters, one of whom talks in a weird fucked-up cartoon monster style, that almost makes you think of James Ferraro's Lamborghini Crystal broadcasts but the rest of the album is just great basement/loner jams with a huge fucking chip on their shoulder, just the way we like em. Another great one rescued from oblivion by Shadoks.

jaklin 1969














This extremely rare British album is now reissued. Electric blues with some psychedelic touches, especially on the track 'Song To Katherine.' Most of the material is written by lead guitarist Jaklin, aside from three traditionals: 'Rosie,' 'Early In The Morning' (which has some jazzy piano improvisation), and the heavier 'Catfish Blues,' and their Cream-like rendition of Alexis Korner's 'The Same For You.' An excellent varied blues rock album featuring Tommy Eyre, later of Mark-Almond and Pezband.

Tracklisting:
01.Rosie
02.Song To Katherine
03.Look For Me baby
04.Early In The Morning
05.Just Been Left Again
06.The Same For You
07.I Can't Go On
08.Going Home
09.I'm Leaving
10.Catfish Blues

Jaklin:
*Tommy Eyre - Piano, Organ
*Jaklin - Guitar
*Andy Rae - Bass
*John Pearson - Drums
