Flip City circa 1974-75

Recorded:

Imagination (Is A Powerful Deceiver)

From the 2001 Rhino/Edsel reissue liner notes:

"Imagination (is a powerful deceiver)" now sounds to me like a very early attempt to write a song like "Alison". This is a "pre-professional" recording made with the band Flip City on a seven-track board - one track was always malfunctioning - at Hope and Anchor Studios, Islington, sometime in 1974/75. There is no personnel listing for the session but it is included with thanks to the former band member: Mich Kent (bass), Malcolm Dennis and Ian Powling (drums), Steve Hazelhurst (guitar) and Dickie Faulkner (percussion) together with the sound and management team: Mike Whelan and Ken Smith.
