Seelie Court 

Seelie Court is an English label specializing in releasing Archival Recordings from 1965-1978 by British and Irish Artists. Their releases include genres such as Progressive Rock, Folk Rock, Psychedelia, Hard Rock, Experimental, and the wilfully eccentric. With a focus on preserving unique sources and previously unreleased material, Seelie Court brings a fresh perspective to the music scene.

Audio Restoration for their releases is carried out by several Specialist audio engineers, including work at Abbey Road. Previously, Reynolds Mastering was used until mid-2021. All pressings are made on the original E.M.I Presses in London where iconic Beatles LPs were once pressed. However, due to severe delays in pressings starting in 2022, alternative British presses have been utilized.

As a label that owns permanent rights to thousands of songs, Seelie Court steadily releases these treasures while also being home to the Copyrights in the Complete Works of Dark makers of the world's rarest rock LP. Specializing exclusively in vinyl records with CD versions available through their sub-label Seelie Court Digital; they maintain a commitment to environmental sustainability by avoiding shrinkwrap and unnecessary plastics as part of their standard policy. Mastering, Manufacturing, and Artwork are all proudly Made in Great Britain.

Stellar progressive psychedelic folk rock with a huge Syd Barrett influence and lashings of distorted fuzz guitar vying with down the rabbit hole Barrettesque psychedelic ballads, a genuine left field underground masterpiece, and incredibly rare. It's unknown how many were really made in 1971 on the custom Deroy label - it had a finished sleeve but the labels were generic Deroy printings with blank spaces for the artists to handwrite their names and titles, and only one copy seems to be known, so Parameter could have been a 25 copy press like the inferior Moths LP. 

Galactic Ramble is a ramble through the experimental minds and philosophies of early seventies underground youth, questioning reality and senses,laden with pre Raphaelite poesie, and born in the morass of early Floyd, ISB, Cream and Donovan, tracks range from the Christina Rossetti meets Syd Barrett 'Virgin Childe' (note the essential Arnoldian "e") to the climactic fuzz-soaked wailing guitar distortions of the title track. Things go wonky at times, but the sheer visionary power of this masterpiece makes it a sacred classic of the British underground. And one of the most elegantly perfect sleeve designs of the era. From its inception Parameter was destined to reach only the select few. Recommended especially to anyone aching for more music like The Madcap Laughs.
