Galliard were formed in Birmingham, in the summer of 1968. They were, in essence, a much-augmented later manifestation of Craig. Galliard set out as an extremely eclectic band on Strange Pleasure. They juxtapose a woodwind/horn section slyly with rural compositions, creating a pastoral, even medieval atmosphere, starkly contrasting nervously urban passages, although they borrow from Art Nova's 'Wrapped Her In Ribbons' and give the credit to Geoff Brown. An interesting effort." 180 gram vinyl, limited edition of 500 copies.
