Writer, painter and blessed with a voice of rare quality, the late Kevin Coyne was a much loved figure in British music circles and left behind an extraordinary body of work including over 30 albums. This package represents the first 3 chapters of his recording career as released by BBC DJ John Peel's Dandelion Records label between 1969 and 1972, including two albums with Siren, his first solo LP, 'Case History', which involved Siren personnel and bonus tracks.

He was originally signed to John Peel's Dandelion label and recorded several albums for Virgin before signing to Cherry Red in 1981.

Although this release was planned in conjunction with Kevin before his untimely death, this fantastic double album on one CD serves as a fitting tribute to a remarkable talent and man, and a snapshot at the height of his career both albums having been originally released on vinyl in the early 1980's.

Kevin had worked hard touring and recording new material for most of the last 35 years.
