‘You’ve
Got To Earn It’ by legendary band, Fleur De Lys, is the latest instalment in
the legendary Acid Jazz Rare Mod series, and is slated for release on 18th
March. It will be available in both CD and vinyl formats and is available to
pre-order now via Amazon. Their on-line product description says: -
“The
first official album release from legendary British Soul/Mod /Psych
heroes, often bootlegged, the Fleurs
never managed to release an album until now. Atlantic Records UK house band,
they backed Sharon Tandy on her chart successes and played on hundreds of cuts
anonymously, never quite obtaining the respect that they deserved. Acid Jazz
Records in collaboration with the only constant member, Keith Guster, have put
together this glorious album that will see the Fleur de Lys take their right
place in the pantheon of 60s legends.”
'I was
just sweet 17 when the original Fleur de Lys were formed in Southampton, 1964
but by March '66 I was the only original of those four to head for the bright
lights of London, where I knew it was all happening. Well, a hell of a lot did
happen. Through an incredible musical era, different members came and went
until I was the last man standing when we had one crisis too many and drifted
apart in July of 1969.
I was
privileged over those 5 years of the FDL to play alongside 11 different FDL
members. All great people, all great musicians, who each played a huge and
inspirational part on the tracks of this album, and on many other tracks with
my old friends Sharon Tandy, John Bromley, Donnie Elbert, Graham Dee, and
others'
(Keith
Guster, Fleur de Lys)
