A couple of months after Martin, Chatwood and Burrows had formed "The Tea Party" they recorded a demo cassette and mailed it off to some labels. They didn’t receive any replies but, fortunately, they were able to raise the funds to publish their self-titled album independently.

As is quite common with young and unknown bands the album was produced in a simple and rather Low-Fi way -- the product of youthful dreams. This is why some of the songs on the 12 track album sound a bit raw and unpolished. Nevertheless, you can clearly see the potential that the band possesses.

If you listen to the record, most songs will remind you of such greats as Zeppelin, Cream and, of course, Hendrix, and all of the songs have a blues-psychedelic touch. The calmer pieces (Watching What The Rain Blows In, All My Charms) and the more rock inspired ones (Let Me Show You The Door, Little Miss Heaven) alternate throughout the album. You can also get a pretty good idea of how the music sounds by just looking at the cover that was created by Michael Green while he was on an LSD trip! But not only the music and artwork show links to the hippie culture, the clothing of the three, as you can see in the first video, „Let Me Show You The Door“, provides more than enough hints!

The album was published in 1991 with a total number of 3500 copies made (some of them as tapes) and is now a very rare collectible that can occasionally be found on eBay. Unfortunately we probably won’t be seeing a reissue of the album, at least not until the band has dissolved.
