In October 1972 Skin Alley released their third and finest album Two Quid Deal, a continuation and refining of the musical direction of their second album. The album cover was designed by the underground cartoonist Edward Barker and depicted a mouse holding a lump of cheese. The cheese served as a substitute for a marijuana deal to which the album title refers.
Formed in 1969, Skin Alley were part of the infamous Clearwater stable that included fellow acts such as Hawkwind, High Tide and Trees. Skin Alley’s infectious fusion of jazz and rock was suited to the time and the band became a regular attraction on the underground festival and concert circuit.Signing to CBS records in the autumn of 1969, the band recorded two albums for the label and underwent a change to their line- up before departing cbs and appearing at the 1971 Glastonbury Fayre. Soon after the band signed to transatlantic records and recorded their third album at Rockfield studios with producer fritz fryer. Arguably their finest effort, two quid deal includes the classic sun music (recorded in a different version for the album Glastonbury Fayre), Nick’s Seven, Skin Valley Serenarge & Graveyard Shuffle.
