Steve Howe revisits debut Tomorrow album

“Permanent Dream,” originally the self-titled 1968 debut album by psychedelic pop/rock band 
Tomorrow, has been reimagined by founding guitarist Steve Howe.

Arriving April 28 via UK label Cherry Red, it was post produced using the technology now available on the balance and edits to enhance and re-present what the band were trying to achieve 55 years ago. There are lesser studio tracks, a new title, running order and sleeve. 

Previously known as The In Crowd, Tomorrow (Keith West, Steve Howe and John Alder) came to fame in the 1967 film Smashing Time. During that year, the band released two singles, one of which, “My White Bicycle” was inspired by the Dutch Provos, an anarchist group in Amsterdam which instituted a community bicycle program.

Follow up single “Revolution," according to Joe Boyd’s book “White Bicycles – Making Music” in the 1960s asserted the fact that the band’s performance of the song at the UFO Club was the apotheosis of the '60s UK underground.

This re-issue overseen by Steve Howe, contains new artwork by longtime Yes collaborators The Gottlieb Brothers with new notes by Steve Howe and John Alder, and has been remastered from the original mono mixes.
