Not a little-known record, but I never knew Stephen Luscombe (later of Blancmange) played in the Portsmouth Sinfonia. He also seems to be on one of the Spontaneous Music Orchestra albums.

Not sure how little-known this is but a decade before "Pop Muzik" Robin Scott was being a psych-folker, his LP has its moments
