The Green Telescope – Live at Alice in Wonderland (London) – 1985

The Green Telescope were an amazing garage/psych mid-eighties band from Edinburgh, Scotland. They released two 45s, The “Two by Two” EP and “Face in a Crowd” single and participated to the “The Waking Dream” and “Beyond The Wildwood - A Tribute To Syd Barrett” compilations.

Lenny Helsing was on guitar and vocals, Alan McLeanon on bass, Bruce Lyall on organ and Gavin Henderson on drums which was replaced by Mal Kergan.

They later changed their name to The Thanes of Cawdor then The Thanes and are still active to this day under that name.



Tracks:
• Do like me
• O those eyes
• We sell souls
• Ain’t no clouds
• If treat me bad again
• Turnin’ out
• A Pindaric ode
