Would You Believe (Vinyl)
Availability: In stock
YES, BELIEVE IT! The highly prized Immediate Records treasure finally gets an official worldwide release almost sixty years after the 100 advance promotional copies landed on radio station desks.
Charly Records kick-off their Immediate Records 60th Anniversary celebrations with this landmark album by the then teenager, and still little-known, Billy Nicholls.
This cult-status, 12 track album, is drenched in sunshine psychrock and is often cited as Swinging London’s answer to the Beachboys’ masterpiece Pet Sounds. The lavish arrangements were presided over by Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones with input from the Small Faces and Arthur Greenslade with Ronnie Lane producing.
In retrospect, Would You Believe, is an astonishing accomplishment that was conceived and crafted by a 16-years old kid from Shepherds Bush and on its journey rubbed shoulders with George Harrison, Beatles publisher Dick James, Immediate impresario Andrew Loog Oldham and a host of British rock royalty.
