· Kippington Lodge released five excellent singles on Parlophone Records between 1967 and 1969, yet they remain one of the least known English pop groups of the late sixties.

· This despite boasting a line-up that included Nick Lowe as well as Brinsley Schwarz and Bob Andrews (future members of Graham Parker & The Rumour) who would all find fame - and in Lowe's case, fortune - for their musical exploits in the decades to follow.

· Kippington Lodge have been afforded so little recognition that - with the exception of having their singles crudely tacked on to a Brinsley Schwarz compilation CD in 1998 - their output has never been presented and evaluated in the proper context.

· The group - whose first two singles were produced by famed EMI producer Mark Wirtz , including their contemporary version of the Keith West penned Shy Boy, today a regular on 60's radio programmes - was a true creature of the sixties.

· With Shy Boy: TheComplete Kippington Lodge 1967-1969 their entire recorded output, along with an unreleased studio track from 1967 and alternate takes from the Abbey Road archives, and a BBC session, have been collected together for the first time ever to tell the tale of a sturdy little group that was so much more than just a launch pad for the subsequent careers of Lowe, Schwarz and Andrews.
