Philamore Lincoln - The North Wind Blew South (1970/2019) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Philamore Lincoln has always been something of a shadowy figure in the psych pop universe, even among hardcore collectors. Elemental Music together with Sony Music Entertainment Spain proudly present a newly remastered edition of his lone album, The North Wind Blew South, originally released by the Epic label in 1970. This masterpiece is a late 60s lost classic of the U.K. soft-psych scene, the nearest touchstone being Donovan, but there are also touches of bubblegum pop and R&B. Robert Cromwell Anson, also known by his other stage names as Phil Kinorra, Julian Covey, Julien Covey and Philamore Lincoln, is a British drummer and singer who performed with Brian Auger & the Trinity, Graham Bond and Don Rendell, as well as with his own band, Julian Covey & The Machine, for which he sang and played drums and put out a Northern Soul hit, A Little Bit Hurt, in 1967 (Island Records). With his band The Machine he also backed John Lee Hooker on a UK tour and he was the replacement drummer for The Whos Keith Moon in 1967. As a jazz drummer he played in the early 60s with such jazzmen as Ronnie Scott, Peter King, Johnny Griffin, Leo Wright, Herb Geller, Freddy Redd and Jackie McLean, among others.
