Digitally remastered edition of this classic Psychedelic album. The band was formed Psychedelic graphic designers and darlings of London's Underground scene Michael English and Nigel Waymouth. The duo ventured into music after being persuaded to do so by friend, DJ and manager Guy Stevens. By the end of 1968, the diversion from graphic art into music led to the end of the Waymouth/English partnership. Waymouth retained the name Hapshash and the Colored Coat and signed a contract for a new album with Liberty Records. Entering the studio with Liberty staff producer Mike Batt and session musicians such as Tony McPhee (of the Groundhogs), drummer Andy Renton, guitarist Michael Mayhew, bass player Eddie Tripp and violinist Freddie Ballerina, the album quot;Western Flierquot; was the result. This Esoteric Recordings edition has been remastered from the original master tapes and includes a booklet that restores the original album artwork and a new essay.
