Forever Amber



Forever Amber was a financially struggling six-piece band from Cambridge, Cambridgeshire (UK). Formed in 1967, they managed to record their one and only record, a concept album in 1968 called 'The Love Cycle.' Only 99 copies were manufactured to avoid a purchase tax. In the 1980's the album became a cult classic and was heavily bootlegged. Its first official release didn't come until 2007.

Focal Point



From Liverpool, England. Being the first band signed to their the Beatles' Apple Records label, Focal Point became an enigma, a big "what if" story, only releasing one single in 1968. Though other songs were recorded, they were never released at the time due to mismanagement, trouble with the record label & other issues. After becoming a full-time touring group, the band eventually broke up in 1970. In the 2000's, much of their unreleased music was finally made public to the delight of collectors.
