Sunny Goodge Street: The Warner Bros. Recordings - 2012 Rhino Handmade label 20-track CD

rare out of print 2012 US Rhino Handmade label 20-track CD featuring Canadian sunshiny-psychedelic folk-pop singer/songwriters musical journey on Warner Bros. that includes the 10-track 'The Best of Tom Northcott' album, the 2-tracks singles 'Sunny Goodge Street' and 'Make Me An Island.' and six previously unreleased tracks that Northcott recorded between 1968-69.

The custom designed picture disc is held in a beautifully printed rice paper envelope attached to the inside of lavishly detailed, 10" x 10" oversized and letterpress-printed folio designed by artist Bob Masse and created by Bruce Licher of Independent Project Records/Licher Art and Design, whose previous album cover designs have garnered two Grammy® nominations. The set is complete with a reproduction press photo, a psychedelic fold out reproduction concert poster for a 1966 show at the Vancouver club by Masse printed on high quality paper stock - the folio also includes an 'underground newspaper' that serves as the album's liner notes - written by producer Andrew Sandoval, they recount Northcott's years with Warner Bros. and provide a helpful track-by-track introduction to the artist's music.

There are four versions of the cover art, each with a different color variation, shipped out at random - this is the gold and metallic purple version.

'Just who is Tom Northcott? Rhino Handmade unravels the mystery with an exquisitely packaged collection that sheds light on this unheralded singer-songwriter, whose distinctive voice and wonderful artistry remain among the best-kept secrets of the 1960s.
Between 1966-69, Northcott recorded a catalog of ornate psychedelic-folk for Warner Bros. Records with producers Lenny Waronker and Leon Russell. Among those were two almost-hit singles, including his versions of Donovan's 'Sunny Goodge Street' and Harry Nilsson's '1941.' In 1970, Warner Bros. collected 10 of those recordings on The Best of Tom Northcott, an album released exclusively in the singer's native Canada that has remained a stateside rarity until now.'
