John Henry was a comedian who became the first UK radio star in the 1920s thanks to the then new BBC. He appeared with his stage "wife" Blossom (Gladys Horridge). They became lovers in real life but sadly Gladys died in March 1932, and a month later, unable to cope with her death, John Henry took his own life. This EP sets 6 John Henry recordings to music by Fish From Tahiti.

So pleased to see this album of elegance and delicate beauty back in play via Bandcamp. As moving now as it was when I first heard it so many years ago …

Like many of you, I bought this on cassette in the early 80's and it was a guiding light to the electronic music of the decade. I had a black bomber jacket and I wrote B.E.F. on the back on large letters, with TIPEX! Class..........Wore it everywhere for years richkyd
