OCEAN: "Live at the Towbar, Nethertown 25th August 1972"
Ocean was formed in 1971 and consisted of the following original members:
Kevin Dennis
(bass guitar)
Stephen Evans
(guitar/keyboard and lead vocals)
Eric Hodgson
(drums and backing vocals)
Alex Wilkinson
(lead guitar and backing vocals)
Kevin Farish
(technician and roadie)
All were long-time school friends, except for Kevin Dennis, who left the band after about six months and Kevin Farish took over on bass. Sometime later, Tony Bell joined as roadie. This line-up remained for the rest of the band's existence. The band played most of the pubs and clubs in West Cumberland (as it was then!). Some of the press ads are shown on the CD cover. The band members finally went their separate ways in the autumn of 1972, when they all went off to various universities and colleges.
The recording captured on this CD was originally made by a friend of the band, Mike Forest, on a Philips cassette recorder, using only a stereo pair of microphones. The quality is pretty good, considering the rather primitive (by today's standards) equipment used.
