Very Rare `Amaryllis` (Decca SKL 5081) by UK Acid Folkies `Bread Love & Dreams` suffered the same fate as Leafhound's sole album in receiving a tiny pressing/distributed by major label Decca! Making it incredibly hard to find today, thus the LP is now reaching figures of £900 when coming up for sale. Decca retained copyright of all the band`s songs but lost interest by the third album (Amaryllis) in spite of it being performed at Edinburgh’s Royal Court Theatre. Few copies had been pressed & only in the UK despite strong European interest due to touring plus with botched marketing, the album went unnoticed in spite of its eye-catching cover (Deram would have been a far more suitable home for them). It’s now suggested that Amaryllis was probably a tax scam by the label. Huge batches were dispatched to Ceylon from where they returned unsold (few inhabitants of pre-Sri Lanka had record players or even electricity of course) with the band expected to reimburse the label £19,999, 19s 1
