In 1978, Charisma Records released the Sir Henry At Rawlinson End album, a forty-minute introduction to the eccentric custodian of the crumbling British country estate, which incorporated characters \u0026amp; music from the various episodes of the Sir Henry saga, originally broadcast on the BBC's John Peel show from October 1975 up until 1991. The BBC regular re-broadcast Sir Henry even today. In 1980, Sir Henry was also unleashed on the public as a film, starring the great Trevor Howard \u0026amp; was also issued as book published by Eel Pie Publishing, owned at the time by The Who's Pete Townshend. The 1990's found Sir Henry used as the concept for a now legendary series of Ruddles Beer adverts that cemented Rawlinson's End in the National consciousness. In the years just before his untimely death in 1995, Vivian intended to generate a new album based around the content of three of the final episodes broadcast by John Peel on the BBC; 'Crackpot At The End Of The Rainbow' recorded in February 1988, 'The Eating At Rawlinson End', from August 1988 \u0026amp; 'The Thing At Rawlinson End', from April 1991. For decades it has been rumored that a new Sir Henry album would be released \u0026amp; now finally Madfish \/ Snapper Music in collaboration with the Stanshall Family have made that rumor a reality. Using all the remaining tapes from Vivian's archive, Stanshall expert \u0026amp; performance artist Michael Livesley has manged to put back together the intended release, a process that he has described as similar to \"putting back together a smashed vase\". The results are a revelation with the final album containing some of Vivian's finest work. Fans of Sir Henry, Old Scrotum, Mrs E \u0026amp; the various bizarre \u0026amp; evocative characters that inhabit the musty 'Rawlinson's End' will be thrilled at the imagined adventures that await them.","brand":"BERTUS","offers":[{"title":"NZ - In Stock (Ships Tomorrow)","offer_id":51153606639916,"sku":"eb-636551893114","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/5186\/5644\/files\/636551893114.jpg?v=1748858073","url":"https:\/\/realgroovy.com\/en-au\/products\/636551893114-rawlinsons-end-2lp-set-vinyl","provider":"Real Groovy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
