Principal Edwards Magic Theatre is one of those hard-to classify bands that made the late 60s a musical adventure playground for listeners. What was more, the live music scene and airwaves were broad-minded enough to give bands who dared to be different the chance of exposure. They enjoyed the attention of the late John Peel who Broadcast them on his BBC shows and made them the first band to be signed to his dandelion record label. The Devon Tapes was recorded in the summer of 1974 under the shorter name Principal Edwards. Cherry Red are now proud to release these recordings for the first time ever to the public.
