Ugly Custard

Reissue of 1970 album. A blend of Hammond organ, distorted electric guitar and funky rhythms.

"..a dense, heavy, psyched out set from a short-lived side project put together by UK library and film music composer, Alan Parker. The album reunited Parker with leading session players and fellow members of the band Blue Mink including Herbie Flowers (bass) and Roger Coulam (organ) alongside prolific drummer Clem Cattini (The Tornados, T-Rex, Hot Chocolate). The album features Parker on top form, re-arranging known standards into open, wigged out jams including Paul Simon’s ‘Scarboro’ Fair’ and Stephen Stills’ ‘Hung Upside Down’. Side 2 focuses on original Parker compositions including the sitar-drenched ‘Cry From The Heart’ and a co-composition between Parker and The Mohawks’ Alan Hawkshaw on ‘Custard’s Last Stand’."
