Barbel - One Horse Planet (1989)

Formed in 1984, the band included Greg Milton (guitar, bass, vocals), Roger Synek (drums) – both form A Formal Sigh – Ali Williams (keyboards, formerly with Flo & the Frets), Dave Surtees (guitars), who left some time later. Later they were joined by Dave Morgan (formerly with the Jactars) on bass, so that Milton could switch on second guitar and focus more on vocals.
After some demos the band finally released a much awaited MiniLP in 1989:

BLOG POLICY

All recordings are out of print to the best of my knowledge (hence the low quality of the audio files, being for the most part vinyl or cassette rip)), and thus are not diverting earnings from the artists. In fact the purpose of the blog is the opposite: to stir up interest in the artists of this particular period of time. However, if you are the copyright holder and want a recording removed, let me know and I will do so. Recordings are provided for review and evaluation purposes only; if you can find a real copy, buy one! Thank you for visiting. Mij
