"The Pete Ham estate will be releasing a Limited Edition 50 track double CD set - "Keyhole Street: Demos 1966-67" - the majority of which will be previously unreleased and unheard music. This release will coincide with a Blue Plaque Ceremony and Tribute concert to Pete Ham / Iveys / Badfinger taking place on his birthdate, April 27, 2013, in Pete's hometown of Swansea in Wales. The following day, a memorial stone will be unveiled at the Morriston Cemetary, which is where Pete's ashes had been spread."
"By pre-ordering or 'pledging' for a copy of "Keyhole Street: Demos 1966-67," fans are guaranteed to get their copy before anybody else and they will also have access to a wide range of exclusive offers and premium items."
"All Pledgers will receive a special digital download of rare music as an added incentive. Pledgers will also have access to a special Pledgers-only updates page, where unheard demos and previously unseen photos are available."
"At the age of 19 and 20, Pete had recorded all of this set of demos at the band's London home. Recorded on a two-track Sound-On-Sound machine - of which you could bounce back and forth to layer parts - you hear in this 50 track collection, elements of classic balladry, Pink-Floydian psychedelia, rock'n'roll tributes, R&B, Beach Boys type harmonies, instrumentals, music hall stereotypes, an Elvis tribute, blues, humorous lyrical content, Beatle-ish tracks, and a horror film soundtrack."
