Rare EMI-Blackhill's invitation card found!

This is a rare invitation card printed by E.M.I. Records in conjunction with Blackhill Enterprises to launch Harvest artists at the Mothers club in Birmingham on June 4th, 1969.

 

The interesting thing about it is that Harvest selected the Edgar Broughton Band, Michael Chapman, Pete Brown & the Battered Ornaments and 'our' Third Ear Band to represent its music just few days later (May 30th) the first showcase at the London Roundhouse.

That was a very intense period for the TEB because just after "Alchemy" released few days later (June 7th) the band played the Hyde Park free concert  supporting Blind Faith.

An unexpected fantastic never seen TEB short video on YouTube!!!

An incredible fantastic short video of the TEB playing live at Hyde Park on June 7th, 1969 (at the so-called "Blind Faith concert") is available on YouTube thanks such "Classic Rock Video" (http://www.youtube.com/user/ClassicRockVideo: "Some choice clips from my collection. Most of which is shared here has been edited specifically for better YouTube enjoyment & not intended for archival viewing. Video has been made widescreen and wherever possible audio has been re-dubbed").

On stage Glen Sweeney (hand drums), Richard Coff (violin), Paul Minns (oboe) and Paul Buckmaster (cello) playing in front of a quite absorbed, relaxed and dancing (!) audience.

A unique, very rare document that at last can witness the great interplay of the TEB playing on live and their incomparable singularity!
