***PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED 1970 RECORDINGS!!***
Greasy Bear formed in Manchester in 1969 as a folk/rock outfit and were christened “Manchester’s answer to The Grateful Dead”. Managed by Roger Eagle, the band soon gained a reputation as a tight and eccentric live act due to the onstage antics of C.P. Lee (vocals) and Bruce Mitchell (Drums). Other band members were Ian Wilson (vocals/guitar), Steve Whalley (guitar) and John Gibson (bass).
In 1970, Greasy Bear recorded 9 tracks, hoping to secure a deal with the now highly collectable Philips/Vertigo label; sadly, the deal fell through and the band soon went their separate ways. C.P. Lee and Bruce Mitchell formed Manchester anarchic-satirical rock band Alberto Y Los Trios Paranoias. Bruce was also the other half of Factory Records duo The Durutti Column.
46 years later and 'Is Adrian There?' finally gets the release it deserves. This previously unreleased gem will not disappoint.
