Discography

The Original Wooden Lion made only two forays into a recording studio. In the 1970s studio time was at a premium and even cheap 4 track studios were well beyond the band's pocket. We did go into a studio in Hitchin as part of a 'competition' to win a record deal but, I am fairly sure this was a 'con trick' because we had to pay for our time in the studio and they never got back in touch. I do have copies of the resulting recordings but I think tey will stay in a padlocked safe, in a disused toilet, in a flooded basement behind a sign saying 'Beware of the Leopard'

Both 'Dogwatch' and 'Roy Weard and Last Post' , however, made recordings which were released. Details of these are below/
