About Paper Bubble
Paper Bubble was a British folk-rock band from Shrewsbury comprising Brian Crane (guitar, vocals), Neil Mitchell (bass), and Terry Brake (guitar, vocals). Their 1969 debut album, "Scenery" was released in 1969 on Deram by this UK psych/folk/pop band. Produced by Dave Cousins and Tony Hooper (of Strawbs), the album has drawn comparisons with that band and The World Of Oz. Strawbs' member Cousins and Hooper were invited to produce an LP for Shrewsbury band Paper Bubble. No sessions people are credited on the sleeve, which indicates that all instruments and voices are those of the band, Terry Brake, Brian Crane (both vcls, gtrs) and Neil Mitchell (bs). However, all the songs are published by Strawberry Music and the engineer is Tom Allom, who later produced many Strawbs and Hudson-Ford recordings. Scenery was recorded in 1969 and came out in 1970. The cover had two different pressings, same design but different colours. It is believed that sessions took place for a later album also to be produced by Dave and Tony that has never seen the light of day. The Velvet Opera had played a few times at the White Bear, and Cousins and Hooper got Hud and John involved in those recording sessions along with Rick Wakeman. Cousins recalled in an interview in ZigZag magazine: "Rick was on keyboards and I thought then how remarkable that band could be without ever imagining that six months later it would all come true, and John, Hud and Rick would join Tony and I in Strawbs."
