Tapestry of Delights:
This mid-sixties four-piece from Carlisle also included Keith Emerson for a few weeks before he formed The Nice. Initially an R&B outfit they formed in 1963 and recorded the first two of three reputedly fine singles. They are also recorded a one-sided acetate for the Surrey-based Oak label, How Many, and a couple of other acetates on EMIDISC. In December 1966 Kenyon (later of Junkyard Angels), Johnstone and Henshaw all left and a new line-up recorded the final 45 for Island and a US-only 45, Mercy, Mercy, before Emerson departed to form The Nice. A limited edition European EP on Kos Records has given another airing to both sides of the Mercy, Mercy 45 and Sad Story and Blue Feeling, two of the EMIDISC acetates. They changed their name to Art in 1967 and later became Spooky Tooth.
