About Edwards Hand
Formerly known as Picadilly Line, Edwards Hand is a musical group formed by Englishmen Rod Edwards (keyboard and vocals) and Roger Hand (acoustic guitar and vocals). After a 1968 album released under their former name (The Huge World of Emily Small), in 1969 Edwards Hand released an eponymous album produced by George Martin who, taking a break from working on The Beatles' White Album, described their music as 'exceptional'. It is tentatively compared to certain works by Kaleidoscope and Fairfield Parlour. A further album, Stranded, was recorded at London's Morgan Studios, and it came in 1970. The original UK cover art was a black and white drawing of a sheriff's rotund stomach produced by Klaus Voormann (famous for designing the cover of The Beatles' album Revolver). The drawing referred to a track about one of America's racist policemen, Sheriff Myras Lincoln, which was banned in the USA. A new cover was produced for the US release, this time a photograph of a hand, fingers splayed, beneath the Stars and Stripes. Their final album, Rainshine, was recorded in 1971, but unreleased at the time. They disbanded in the mid-'70s.
