BILLY NICHOLLS - Would You Believe - LP - Vinyl

LP - Limited Edition Black Vinyl Reissue 

Charly Records kick off their Immediate Records 60th Anniversary celebrations with this landmark album by the then-teenager, and still little-known, Billy Nicholls. This cult-status, 12-track album is drenched in sunshine psych-rock and is often cited as Swinging London’s answer to the Beach Boys’ masterpiece Pet Sounds. The lavish arrangements were presided over by Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones, with input from the Small Faces and Arthur Greenslade, with Ronnie Lane producing.

In retrospect, Would You Believe is an astonishing accomplishment that was conceived and crafted by a 16-year-old kid from Shepherd’s Bush, and on its journey rubbed shoulders with George Harrison, Beatles publisher Dick James, Immediate impresario Andrew Loog Oldham, and a host of British rock royalty.

Once a lost relic, this album has since gained worldwide cult status as one of the great, undiscovered gems of the ‘60s.
