The White Ribbon

“Neither honor nor glory rode that Hellcat down to the deck, just duty. Navy fighter pilot Lt. Bill Davis was about to bomb the last ship remaining from the attack on Pearl Harbor – and in so doing was about to write the greatest untold story of World War II.

Formed in Cardiff, Wales, in 2012, Until the Ribbon Breaks is, by nature a band, spearheaded by Pete Laurie Winfield with Elliott Wall. As a project, however, it's a bit more undefinable. Over the past six years, Until The Ribbon Breaks (a.k.a. UTRB) has honed a signature mix of electronica, experimental rock, and luscious orchestrations enveloped in sound and vision via projections and films.

More than any other 60s music biography Joe Boyd's 'White Bicycles' offers the real story of what it was like to be there at the time. When the summer of love got going, Joe was running the coolest club in London, the UFO; when a bunch of club regulars called Pink Floyd recorded their first single, Joe was the producer; when a young songwriter named Nick Drake wanted to give his demo tape to someone, he chose Joe Boyd. This unique CD gathers together the full range of production work undertaken by Joe Boyd and his Witchseason production company, including several rare and previously unreleased recordings. Recordings have been licensed from all the major record labels. White Bicycles is released with full approval and co-operation from Pink Floyd, Soft Machine, Eric Clapton and the Nick Drake Estate; as well as EMI, Universal, Warners, Topic and Sony BMG. Carefully remastered. Cover artwork by Nigel Weymouth. Deluxe digipac with full-colour large format booklet. Extensive sleevenotes by Joe Boyd. Previously unpublished photographs and rare ephemera. "This CD is a magical and insighftful overview of music making in late 1960s London in one discrete package."
