1960's Records

Love Sculpture is a Welsh rock act that emerged in 1966, founded by former members of [a1152010]. With their blues and rockabilly influences, the band quickly gained recognition. However, after a successful US tour in 1970, Love Sculpture disbanded. The original lineup consisted of Dave Edmunds on guitar and vocals, John David on bass guitar, and Robert Jones on drums. Mickey Gee joined as the second guitarist in 1970 while Terry Williams replaced Rob Jones on drums.

“We recorded Sabre Dance, all six minutes of it. Dave Edmunds always said that the first BBC version was the best recording” - Top Gear Producer Bernie Andrews. Love Sculpture guitarist Dave Edmunds would later tell Sounds magazine “we did a live session for John Peel’s Top Gear and suddenly we were signed up by EMI, Gordon Mills was managing us and we had a number two hit single.” This record shows that Love Sculpture were much more than a one-hit wonder, showcasing fourteen tracks recorded for the BBC by Edmunds, bass player John Williams and drummer Bob ‘Congo’ Jones. Included here are the harmony-pop of debut single River To Another Day, a toughened-up version of the Honeybus classic (Do I Figure) In Your Life and a spirited take on Chuck Berry’s Sweet Little Rock and Roller. Love Sculpture’s attempt to repeat a winning formula saw them sprinting through Bizet’s Farandole at their third Top Gear session which also generated a rocking cover of George Harrison’s The Inner Light, inexplicably omitted from either of Love Sculpture’s studio LPs
