Album Notes

Formed in Kent, England, in 1962, the Fenmen evolved from a tough R&Beat combo into a superb harmony-based ensemble influenced by the Beach Boys, but with an unmistakably English flavr. The Fenmen broke up in early 1967 after Wally Waller and Jon Povey left to join the Pretty Things. SUNSTROKE presents a treasure trove of rare and previouly unreleased Fenmen tracks, including a 1966 radio session and a raw, rocking 1963 acetate, plus seven new recordings by Waller and Povey (The Bexley Brothers) in the harmony rich tradition of the Fenmen and the 1967-71 Pretty Things, including a breathtaking remaking of the Pretty Things' EMOTIONS standout "The Sun."
