Esoteric Recordings are pleased to announce the release of Reaffirmation, a comprehensive anthology by the unsung heroes of British early 70s rock, Help Yourself. Help Yourself was formed in London in 1970, originally as a backing band for singer-songwriter Malcolm Morley and took their influences from American West Coast Country and Acid Rock. After Morley signed to the Famepushers management stable, his manager John Eichler suggested Morley form a new band and Help Yourself was born. Featuring Malcolm Morley (guitars, keyboards, vocals), former Sam Apple Pie member Dave Charles (drums, percussion, vocals), Richard Treece (guitars, vocals, harmonica) and Ken Whaley (bass), the band signed to United Artists in 1970 and their eponymous debut album was issued in 1971. Forty years on, Help Yourself is now regarded as one of the great, unsung British bands of their era. This anthology gathers together the essential tracks from all of their albums released by United Artists, newly re-mastered from the original master tapes. It features a booklet with essay by Michael Heatley and is a tribute to their genius.
THE most under-rated band of the 70s. If you like West Coast, countrified rock with extended guitar solos this is a MUST HAVE. With their studio albums having not been re-released and trading for over £125 on eBay this is great value.
