Beautiful Pea Green Boat

Beautiful Pea Green Boat consisted of Ian Williams and Heather Wright. Wright went on to form the band Doris in 1989. BPBG took their name from the poem "The Owl and the Pussycat" by Edward Lear. Their output was sporadic, putting out at least 3 full official CDs, as well as being represented on various "Best ofs" and Samplers; Each full CD appears to have come out in a different territory-and had mostly new or exclusive material. However, ALL editions had in common at least these 2 of their trademark works: THE VASE; and PAPERHOUSE; There are 2 mixes of each- the more commonly found mixes (#2) are in an uptempo 'electrobeat' style; a listed "Goldcoast mix" cannot be verified as to being mix # 1 or mix #2 of the 2 songs; "Future Tense" contains the 2 same songs mixed in a very surreal, dreamy fashion, (#1 ) not, as of this writing, available in CD form[citation needed]
