Roger Bunn from Norwich was an English singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who had already played in numerous bands when he produced a series of demo recordings in 1969. The Dutch major label Philips subsequently offered him a record deal. He recorded his first and only solo album Piece Of Mind with the support of various guest musicians and an orchestra directed by Ruud Bos. However, Philips licensed these recordings to the small label Major Minor, which delayed the release for a long time. It was finally released in late 1970, initially in England on Major-Minor, and shortly afterwards in the Netherlands on Philips. The eye-catching cover was designed by the artist Ger Polak.

The stylistic diversity of Bunn’s compositions ranges from psychedelic folk and rock with jazzy collages and Far Eastern elements, through melancholic pop/beat with Soul horn sections and string arrangements, to humorous, whimsical pieces with associative lyrics. As Major Minor filed for bankruptcy and ceased trading in March 1971, his debut album was doomed to failure, despite further releases in Germany and Italy in 1971. Moreover, it was evidently completely overshadowed by more commercial releases from competitors. Roger Bunn’s groundbreaking LP nevertheless found favour with musicians and fans alike and is now regarded, thanks to its uniqueness, as one of the most important unknown works of British pop and rock music from the late 1960s.
