The Finders Keepers - Stained Glass Sun (1967)

The Finders Keepers - Stained Glass Sun (1967)

Highly entertaining and hideously rare South African psych/pop album from 1968 reissued on CD. Great period psych pop featuring fuzz guitar and swirling keyboards with covers of songs by The Bonzo's, Donovan etc. and a brace of decent original compositions.

Something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue - applies to this record by the Finders Keepers, except that the "something blue" are mostly new compositions by various members of the group. Vocal is by John Allison, who comes from England, and we are wondering whether we detect something of Tommy Steele's influence in some of the numbers? Chris Anderson sings "Man of the Sea" and "Orient Green". The Finders Keepers perform in the Northern Suburbs of Johannesburg and are tremendously popular wherever they appear. We are confident that something of this record will appeal to you. Remember, there are no fewer than seven new numbers of which any one can become tomorrow's hit tune. Add this record to your collection now and prevent later disappointment when stocks run low.
