Kyle, a mature computing student at Strathclyde University was the impresario, recruiting Robb, a double-bass student at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music, and their friend Davis to round out his ensemble. After a handful of local gigs, Kyle expanded the lineup, adding Howard Copeland on alto sax and Charlie Alexander on guitar. The band were initially inspired by the classic Miles Davis Quintet, but upon the replacement of Copeland and Alexander by Gordon Cruickshank (on soprano\/tenor rather than alto) and Lachlan MacColl, the band turned to a more-rock oriented sound, more In a Silent Way Bitches Brew than 'Round About Midnight. Blackpool Cool is Head’s third and final album. In contrast to their debut GTF – recorded by the quintet featuring Copeland and Alexander – both Cool and its predecessor, 1975’s Red Dwarf, were performed by the final, definitive Head lineup. Across six compositions featuring intricate drum patterns, rippling basslines, octave-jumping saxophone licks, wah-wahed electric guitar stabs and virtuosic electric piano\/trumpet double-duty by Davis, the record is a both a cohesive mission statement and their swan song.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eRemastered, and now with a replica 1970s promotional advert for the group.\u003c\/em\u003e\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003eArtist : Head\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : We Are Busy Bodies\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2026-03-07T07:57:45+09:00","created_at":"2026-03-04T10:53:45+09:00","vendor":"Tobira Records","type":"","tags":["hiphop \/ funk","jazz","lp","new","we are busy bodies"],"price":399000,"price_min":399000,"price_max":399000,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":48414543347962,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Head \/\/ Blackpool Cool LP","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":399000,"weight":430,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/bl1_423c56d0-82b1-4731-aa19-2ee216fe7337.jpg?v=1772588820","\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/ScreenShot2026-03-04at10.46.47am.png?v=1772588819"],"featured_image":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/bl1_423c56d0-82b1-4731-aa19-2ee216fe7337.jpg?v=1772588820","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":38573152895226,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"width":700,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/bl1_423c56d0-82b1-4731-aa19-2ee216fe7337.jpg?v=1772588820"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/bl1_423c56d0-82b1-4731-aa19-2ee216fe7337.jpg?v=1772588820","width":700},{"alt":null,"id":38573152927994,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.012,"height":589,"width":596,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/ScreenShot2026-03-04at10.46.47am.png?v=1772588819"},"aspect_ratio":1.012,"height":589,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/ScreenShot2026-03-04at10.46.47am.png?v=1772588819","width":596}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003eスコットランドのフュージョンバンドHeadが、2026年3月にカナダ・トロントのオールジャンルレーベルWe Are Busy Bodiesからリリースした再発レコードです。（オリジナルは1977年リリース）\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eジャズ・ファンク6曲を収録。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/n43RpLg6N2Q?si=8IaCAG4fh8grz_F_\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3903540232\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eレーベルその他作品は\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/wabb\"\u003eこちら\u003c\/a\u003e \/\/\/ Click \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/wabb\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e to see more We Are Busy Bodies releases available at Tobira.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e----------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003eRELEASE DATE: 20th March 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAsk us for digital files. \u003cbr\u003e12\" black vinyl.\u003cbr\u003e2026 reissue and remaster - originally released in 1977. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e1.
