Complete your Tom Newman collection. Apart from a few clunkers, this is a forgotten gem of an album. Pitched somewhere between eccentric pop, psychedelic folk and even a touch of music-hall, the albums highlight must surely be the mesmerising "Song For . a touching ballad recorded on a Summer's day in the gardens of the Manor, bookended by a typically atonal Fred Frith guitar solo.

A real sleeper, Fine Old Tom is a relatively obscure yet refreshing original pop/prog-rock project constructed by Newman and his pals, with Jon Field, Mike Oldfield, Ned Callan, Chris Cutler and Fred Frith in the starring roles. Everything on this eclectic album is done with original style and vigor to spare, convention being left by the wayside. Even Newman's cover of Lennon/McCartney's "She Said She Said" is inventive. Beatles influences are obvious in several of the pop-oriented compositions. Album highlights include the energetic "Nursery Rhyme," a prog piece.
