Farmyard - Back to Fronting
Hailing from Wellington, the windy city and capital of New Zealand, Farmyard’s initial line up consisted of Rick White on bass and vocals, Tom Swainson on drums, Milton Parker on lead guitar, Andy Stevens on sax and Paul Curtis on rhythm guitar and lead vocals. Rick White who formed the band, and Milton Parker were originally in fledgling beat combo The Relics.
After being kicked out of the Relics, Rick went on to form Tom Thumb. Tom Thumb moved from R&B, to pop, to progressive rock, and their 1970 Ludgate Hill EP is considered one of the first prog recordings in the country. Released by Polydor in early 1972, the self-produced ‘Back To Fronting’ was the second and final LP by Farmyard. They continued the prog sound of their impressive debut and added some blues / folk roots into the mix.
Limited edition of 500 copies. House in a reproduction artwork glossy gatefold sleeve with a two-sided printed insert.

All In Your Head

OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
