BOTTLED GOBLINS
Originally conceived c.1985 in Raymond, NH by John Malcolm and Ernie Castle, Bottled Goblins eventually evolved into a three-piece band featuring Mark Preston (Lead guitar), Randy Richard (Drums) and John Malcolm (Bass guitar & voice). First performing to an audience in March, 1986, the original line-up included Chris Meyer (Bass guitar, lead guitar). In 1987 Mark, Randy and John carried on as a trio. The following original tracks were recorded at Cumberland Hill Studio, Manchester, NH in Feb./March 1988.

Late in 1988, there was an acrimonious split with drummer Randy. Mark and John carried on as Bottled Goblins and were joined by drummer Dan Rooney. This version of the band lasted less than a year, but Mark, John and Dan later reformed as Jeremiah Stone. Shortly thereafter, Mark and John reconciled with Randy. Both Jeremiah Stone and Bottled Goblins performed a number of shows (once or twice together) before ultimately fragmenting for good. Mark and John, with drummer Ron Forsythe, played one gig as Jeremiah Stone in March, 1992. This incarnation enjoyed a fleeting, intimate and improvised revival, recorded 11th June, 2008.
