About Me

It’s big news for Elefant Records to have the privilege of discovering an underground composer and witness and participate in his musical rebirth. Nick Garrie debuted with “The Nightmare of JB Stanislas”, a psychedelic folk album published in 1969 and produced by Eddie Vartan (Sylvie Vartan’s brother) but the record remained in the warehouse of the label, DiscAZ after the owner committed suicide immediately following the release of the album.

Despite the fact that the copies of this magical album were scarce and the high cost for collectors (more than 1,200 euros), it was admired for decades. Leonard Cohen himself personally praised Nick on their joint tour in Spain in the eighties. Nick took part in luxurious collaborations, such as those in infamous soundtracks, along with Francis Lai (Oscar winner for “Love Story” and in charge of “Un homme et a femme”, “Vivir por Vivir”, “Bilitis”, “Dark Eyes” and “Emmanuelle”).
The scarce musical activity of this British composer re-emerges today thanks to the participation of the well-known Scottish pop scene: Duglas T. Stewart (BMX BANDITS), Norman Blake (TEENAGE FANCLUB), Ally Kerr (his true guardian angel) and the entourage of musicians who have rendered their services to record the next album, 49 Arlington Gardens , including Francis Lai , who authors, along with Nick, one of the most romantic moments of the album.
