The Englishman Pete Brown was best known in the music world for his collaboration with Cream, having written numerous lyrics for their second album, Disraeli Gears. He was the lead vocalist and played the trumpet in his band, Pete Brown & His Battered Ornaments, which he founded in 1968. The line-up consisted of Nisar Ahmad Khan (sax, fl), Chris Spedding (g, p), Charlie Hart (org), Pete Bailey (perc), Butch Potter (b) and Rob Tait (dr). Thanks to Brown’s extensive connections, the band secured a record contract with EMI’s progressive label Harvest.

In 1969, they recorded their debut album, A Meal You Can Shake Hands With In The Dark, at Sound Techniques and Morgan Studios in London, produced by Andrew King and Dick Heckstall-Smith, who also played tenor saxophone on two tracks. It was released in June 1969 on Harvest in a gatefold sleeve featuring a comic strip on the front and inside pages, designed by the illustrator and painter Mal Dean. The eight tracks on this first LP by Pete Brown And His Battered Ornaments offer a diverse mix of styles, ranging from psychedelia to experimental rock and from blues to jazz-rock.

After recording another LP a few months later, Pete Brown fell out with guitarist Chris Spedding, leading to his departure from the band. They subsequently renamed themselves simply The Battered Ornaments and released their second LP, Mantle-Piece, under that name.
