Darkly psychedelic, politically charged, and utterly rare. This one-off psych-rock classic from 1971 still resonates with its anti-war edge. Originally released on the Chess subsidiary Cadet Concept, 'Oh! What a Lovely War' is the sole album by Liverpool�s Colonel Bagshot. The band, initially known as �Colonel Bagshot�s Incredible Bucket Band,� began as a six-piece before condensing into a four-piece, and produced an intense series of 7-inches between 1969 and 1973, earning a devoted cult following. The album�s standout track, �Six Day War,� achieved renewed recognition when DJ Shadow sampled it (renamed �Six Days�) on his 2002 album The Private Press, and later in 2018 by Mahmut Orhan. Seelie Court�s 2026 anniversary reissue comes pressed on psychedelic splatter vinyl with original gtefold sleeve artwork, expanded with additional liner notes and an obi strip. Audio remastered. An additional 7" single containing two unreleased recordings of �Six Day War� recorded by Brian Farrell (and featuring Ollie Halsall) comes packed inside. An unsophisticated must-have for adventurous psych-rock collectors.
