Hatfield were a prog/jazz rock band from Canterbury which grew out of Delivery, Matching Mole, and Caravan. They released 5 albums, the first 3 on Virgin. 1973’s eponymous effort, 1975’s The Rotters’ Club, 1980’s now deleted compilation Afters, of which the new bits have been tagged on to the end of The Rotters’ Club cd, 2005’s radio sessions/live compilation Hatwise Choice, and 2006’s radio sessions/live compilation Hattitude, both only available from Burning Shed. They split in 1975 due to overwhelming indifference, reforming briefly in 1990 and again in 2005 with the possibility of new material being issued.

Two great albums from this band and archive recordings . The sound was really original an personal , innovative and influential . Dave Stewart is a master with de Fender Rhodes electric piano and with the organ , making strange and noisy sounds and soft ones too.

Wish these guys were a bit heavier, less Canterbury, like a Steely Dan or Gentle Giant, I'd love 'em.

It's never too much Rhodes! Especially not for me. (Or, really it is, but not in Hatfield and the North.)

Although this is quite understandable.. Too much Fender-Rhodes for the rock fan, while at the same time a bit grooveless for jazz fans.
