The Alan Bown Set was formed as R&B/soul band in 1965, but two years later they shortened their name to The Alan Bown! and switched to pop-psych-rock, but with some rhythm and blues elements (inc. powerful trumpet/saxophone section) still present in their sound. After three great but rather unsuccessful singles, their debut LP finally appeared in October 1968 on Music Factory label. This stylistically varied, exceptionally well-played and cleverly arranged pop-rock masterpiece contained imaginative, short, but complex tracks full of compelling ideas, memorable hooks and great vocals by criminally underrated Jess Roden. Unfortunately, the album went completely unnoticed. This expanded CD edition contains 14 rare bonus tracks, including 10 amazing rarities from the BBC archives.

================================================================================

When the band’s Pye Records contract expired in 1967, Bown reformed the band as “The Alan Bown!” a psychedelic band on Verve Records, They finally released their first full album Outward Bown in 1967 and appeared on Top Gear. The album included a cover of Dylan's All Along the Watchtower, a stage version which "directly inspired Hendrix's arrangement of the song". In 1968 they performed "We Can Help You" on Top of the Pops; this was at No 26 in the UK chart but the pressing plant went on strike, so they could not capitalise on the exposure.
One of the most popular club bands of the Swinging London era, the Alan Bown Set abruptly changed direction in the Summer of 1967, shedding their soul/R&B togs to reinvent themselves as flower power pop merchants the Alan Bown! Under this new guise, they cut one of the lost jewels of the British psychedelic pop scene, the magnificent Outward Bown.The LP appeared in late 1968, but unfortunately was only briefly available due to the collapse of the band’s record company. To add insult to injury, a long-overdue late 1990s CD release of Outward Bown suffered a similar fate, meaning that this most quintessential of English psychedelic pop albums has never been available for more than a few weeks at a time.
