FAT MATTRESS, ‘FAT MATTRESS II’ – ORIGINAL AND RARE 1970 UK POLYDOR RECORDS VINYL LP, 2383 025.

Fat Mattress were an English folk rock band that formed in Folkestone Kent in 1968. Founded by guitarist and vocalist Noel Redding, during his time as bassist for The Jimi Hendrix Experience, and vocalist Neil Landon, the band was completed by multi-instrumentalist Jim Leverton and drummer Eric Dillon. The band released two albums – Fat Mattress and Fat Mattress II – before splitting up in 1970.

Fat Mattress was formed in late 1968 by Noel Redding with vocalist Neil Landon, bass guitarist Jim Leverton and drummer Eric Dillon. Redding (from Folkestone) and Leverton (from Dover) had been involved in the flourishing early 1960s group scene in South East Kent which also included Landon (who hailed originally from Kirdford, Sussex). Dillon (from Swindon, Wiltshire) was brought in by Leverton who had met him while playing in Engelbert Humperdinck's backing band. The band was formed while Redding was a member of the Jimi Hendrix Experience, with a view to enabling Redding to both play guitar and sing lead, as well as to record original material. While he had done all three things with the Experience, they were restricted to rare occasions. Martin Barre was briefly a member of the band, but soon left to replace Mick Abrahams in Jethro Tull. The first major public exposure of the band was as the opening act to the Jimi Hendrix Experience on a tour of the United States, during which Redding would perform with both bands. Landon, Redding, and Leverton all sang lead, allowing the group to employ a great deal of vocal harmonies. The group was signed to Polydor Records and released the eponymous Fat Mattress album in 1969. The album was modestly successful, with one song, "Magic Forest" becoming a hit in the Netherlands. In August 1969 The band made an appearance at the Isle of Wight Festival in front of a crowd of an estimated 300,000 people. The line-up also included Bob Dylan, The Nice, The Pretty Things, The Who, Third Ear Band and The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. On 27 September 1969 Fat Mattress (along with The Who) appeared on the popular German TV show, The Beat-Club. They performed three songs; "Naturally", "Mr. Moonshine" and "Magic Forest".
