THE 70's
Ian Breakwell did "performances with Kevin Coyne, 1971, [at] Alexandra Palace of 'The Institution'". They also played the same piece in 1973, I.C.A London and Exe Gallery, Exeter (information found by Tony in "Continuous Diary 1965-1975" a book by Ian Breakwell). A 1975 film called "Other Than Art's Sake" directed by Peter Kennedy, Sydney, Australia included a shooting of the 1973 performance at I.C.A! (Kevin Coyne had published stories along with Breakwell).

First released on CD (See For Miles SEECD 410) in 1994 as "CASE HISTORY...PLUS", the "plus" meaning I'm All Aching from Siren's STRANGE LOCOMOTION and A Leopard Never Changes Its Spots, a 1979 song from the PEEL SESSIONS, none of them having anything to do with Case History but well...
Second CD reissue in Sep 2007 by Cherry Red, as part of
Tapestry Records (Liechtenstein) re-released Case History in 2007 as a 180 gram vinyl LP, limited edition of 1000 copie (TPT 229LP).
In 2008, Airmail Recordings (Japan) rereleased Siren (Airac 1460), Strange Locomotion (Airac 1462) and Case History (Airac 1470), along with 13 other Dandelion artists cds, all presented in facsimile paper sleeves. The cds are also available as three boxed sets - Set A - AIRAC-1455 to AIRAC-1459 Set B - AIRAC-1460 to AIRAC-1465 Set C - AIRAC-1466 to AIRAC-1470
Incredibly good... although NOT easy listening AT ALL!

His most celebrated album. Absolutely essential. Pure genius
in song writing and singing.

one. And a poster
First Kevin Coyne band: (thanks
Tim Penn)
In ZIG-ZAG mag #36, Kevin says he began recording Marjory at The Manor with
Dave Clague on acoustic guitar and they did eleven tracks. Then, Simon Draper
got the backing musicians together.
- Most of all later stayed to form the first Kevin Coyne band in Januray
1974: Gordon Smith (guitar), Tony Cousins (bass), Chili Charles (drums).
That band probably only played radio shows in early 74.
- Recording of BLAME IT ON THE NIGHT in Feb 1974: Gordon
Smith (guitar), Tony Cousins (bass), Chilli Charles (drums) except Terry
Slade (drums on Poor Swine and the song Blame it on the Night), Ruan O'Loghlainn
(sax), Fi Trench (piano)
- Some shows in March 1974 feat. Eddie Sparrow on drums. Says Tim: "Chili
Charles was primarily a session drummer and did not want to be part of the
road band (I'm sure he would have been too expensive as well :-)".
Terry Slade becomes the permanent drummer.Also, Rick Dodd joins on sax
- Tim Penn joins the band on piano on May/June 74. He leaves sometime during
September 74, probably around the end of the month. Replaced by Pete Nu
until about early December 74 and then is asked to re-join.
- About 2 weeks after that (early 75?), Virgin sacks Rick Dodd, Terry Slade
and Tony Cousins and Archie Legget (bass) is brought in and then Andy Summers
(guitar).
- The new band does a tour of Spain in January 75 with the drummer from
Gong, maybe with Summers. Then Andy Summers brings in Pete Wolff on drums.
- Late 1975 Gordon Smith leaves the band, Steve Thompson (ex John Mayall)
replaces Leggett on bass and Zoot Money replaces Tim Penn on keyboards.
The March 16, 1975 Rainbow show is the last one with Penn and Smith. The
"In Living Black and White" band (Summers, Money, Wolf, Thompson)
is on.
** Gordon Smith had released a solo album
called Long Overdue and a single in 1969 on Blue Horizon (respectively 7-63211
and 57-3156) with some musicians from the original Fleetwood Mac (see STORY OF BLUE HORIZON).
Read here a great Gordon Smith interview by Clive Product. Gordon talks about how he met Kevin and the recording of their three albums together (this is an edited version of the interview that will be included in the new, updated and expanded edition of "Beautiful Extremes: Conversations with Kevin Coyne" by Clive Product, due for publication in 2008)
