A staggering 55 years ago, Trevor Midgley, aka Beau, a British singer-songwriter of a folk stripe, issued his sophomore album on which he was backed by the musicians of a band called TRACTOR, and their collaboration didn’t end after "Creation" was released. In 2000 Midgley and the ensemble’s drummer Steve Clayton teamed up to work on a musical dedicated to the great Andy Warhol and his motley coterie: Steve penned the play and Trevor wrote the songs. Still, the results of their toil and trouble stalled at the demo stage and eventually got shelved – until very recently. Incensed by seeing promos – discs used to shop it around – crop up on eBay for princely sums, Midgley returned to the original recordings and then, as he puts it, “re-imagined, re-engineered and re-produced them” using today’s studio techniques.
