The Blue Zone Party Live 1991

 Nic Potter is probably best known for his work with the

British rock band Van Der Graaf Generator. Initially however

Nic played in a band called The Misunderstood along with

Guy Evans who would also join Van Der Graaf Generator.

Nic joined Van Der Graaf Generator in 1969 and recorded

the album The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other

and recorded part of the next album H To He, Who Am The

Only One before leaving. He was however to return to the

band later in the seventies and played on two more albums

from the band, the studio album The Quiet Zone/The

Pleasure Dome and the live album Vital before the band split.

In between times and of course beyond his final stint with

Van Der Graaf Generator Nic Potter has had an extensive

solo career recording a number of solo albums and for a

short period in the early to mid eighties was a member of

Peter Hammill's band The K Group.

The Blue Zone Party was originally released as a limited

edition cassette tape. The tape was limited to just three

hundred copies each signed by Nic Potter. The cassette

tape has now become a collector's item and this CD now

sees the album receiving a fuller and more widespread

release. The recording features Nic Potter on bass and

keyboards alongside guitarist Huw Lloyd Langton and

former Vander Graaf Generator musicians Guy Evans

and David Jackson. The band is rounded out by Stuart

Gordon on violin. The concert was recorded in London

at The Dome on the 29th of May 1991.

Tracks include; Northern Lights, A Whiter Shade Of Blue,

Blue Zone, Dimension Z and Dome Jam in D.
The Blue Zone Party has been re mastered for this release

and is the latest release in a series of Nic Potter reissues

which began in late 2009 with the All Contained Box Set.
