Keith Law, Singer/Songwriter,(now more widely known,
as the writer for Velvett Fogg,
the well known cult Psychedelic band)
formed Jardine, in the Winter of 1968/69.

Keith Law, along with Mickey Cox had recently
disbanded Paint their previous band
Keith wanted a more earthy psychedelic sound,

Keith Law, who wrote all the band's original songs
shared the vocals, and also played second guitar, and flute

Mickey Cox was the vocalist and lead guitar
and was previously with Led Zeppelin's
Robert Plant's, Band of Joy

Colin Appleyard was on drums, and Brian Urquart on Bass.

The band's show was mainly original songs
with all of them being, penned by Keith.
They were written about the same time as those
on the well known Velvett Fogg album
so possess the same air of psych Keith Law mystery!

The band played Universities, Colleges and schools
and the occasional open-air concert

In June 1969, Keith was contacted by a London producer
with an offer to cut an album.
The band were soon, in London, staying at the producers flat in Bromley, Kent.
The band traveled to the West-End studio everyday,
in their Ford Thames Van

The 4 track studio was just around the corner
from the famous Carnaby Street.
The sessions were fun, with the band, enjoying the experience.
Musicians, would often drop in to say 'Hello'
and end up on the recordings, uncredited!
Amongst the more famous, were Peter Frampton,
from The Herd better known now, in his own right!
and Andy Bown now of Status Quo

Quote:
"They're on the recordings somewhere
but can't remember where!"- Keith Law


Nine tracks were recorded,
initially for Polydor Records
However, the band were incorrectly advised
that a much better 'deal' could be achieved elsewhere!
This never materialized, and the master tape
was stored away, only to re-surface a year later
when Keith returned to the studio
demanding it's whereabouts!

Quote:
"I was determined, not to let my songs
and hours of recording, go to waste"- Keith Law


At the time, there was an enormous amount of
albums of this genre, and the tape remained un-released

With the recent resurgence of Psychedelic music
and in particular the ever growing popularity of Velvett Fogg
Demand for songs by Keith Law has increased enormously!

Keith found the 'lost' tape, in his garage attic!
Still in perfect condition, and still to tell the story!

So 40 years later, here is Jardine
and their music, that has been in the garage, for far to long!
