AVANT GARDENER Avant Gardener EP (Scarce 1977 UK 4-track solid centre 7 vinyl EP from the band who apparently won a Virgin Records sponsored talent contest which resulted in this EP which includes Gotta Turn Back Strange Gurl In Clothes Back Door & Bloodclad Boogie. Hailing from Okehampton Avant Gardener were one of the many oddities thrown up by punk. Ultra primitive Beefheart influenced noise meets the Velvets! The eye-catching bright pink paper picture sleeve has a little e vidence of age & shelfwear and has a vintage price-point sticker stuck to the front however the vinyl itself with only light signs of play remains in excellent condition VEP1003)ÞÞA1.
