Sour Milk Sea

Jackie Lomax was one of the first musicians signed to Apple Records, the record label of The Beatles.  Sour Milk Sea was his debut single in 1968 and it's quite good.  

Despite backing on the recording by Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, George Harrison (who wrote the song), Eric Clapton, and famous session man Nicky Hopkins on piano, the record was a commercial failure.

This backing line up reminds me of Warm Heart Pastry by Mike Heron, formerly of the Incredible String Band, backed by Pete Townshend, Keith Moon, and Ronnie Lane.  A great song.
