The second release (1969) of gentle, rural, pastoral folk/psych from the home studio of future BBC Radiophonic Workshop composer Peter Howell and his musical partnerJohn Ferdinando, makers of legendary albums under the names Alice Through the Looking Glass, Ithaca, Agincourt, and Friends. This private press album was recorded as the soundtrack for an underground film production, Tomorrow Come Someday, by (later to be) renowned television director Ian Hamilton. The soundtrack LP was originally pressed up in a tiny quantity for friends and people involved in the production: certainly no more than 70-80 copies were made. It is presented here from the original master tapes, directly transferred by Peter Howell himself from the original machine that recorded the album, packaged together with the film!

Tomorrow Come Someday(the film) is described on the album jacket as "a musical comedy, shot on location in the Sussex village of Lurgashall, during August 1969," which of course, doesn't begin to tell the tale. So what do we find here? A concept piece revolving around a village threatened by motorway expansion, and the efforts of short-skirted guitar-slinging young painter Emma Stacey and a local boy to save the day, and perhaps preserve their growing love. Think perhaps of the Kinks' "Village Green Preservation Society" characters come to life.

See for yourself! For this edition contains both a compact disc and DVD version of "Tomorrow Come Someday" -- film and soundtrack, together at last in a double-disc set. A chunky booklet with plentiful photos gives the full story of what we like to call The Wonderful Musical World of Peter Howell & John Ferdinando.
