...UK - B&C - CAS 1010
............................................................................................
Original 1970 first pressing BRITISH only vinyl release on the obscure & collected B&C label...
“Atomic Rooster” was the first album that started it all off for the ROOSTER and marks arguably their best. Based on the mantle of Rhythm and blues , this album took blues based prog rock in a new direction with psychedelic and Canterbury leanings. The line up for this debut album was Nick Graham (bass, guitar, flute and vocals), Vincent Crane (organ) and a very young Carl Palmer (percussion)... (Crane and Palmer were first paired together during their tenure in ARTHUR BROWN'S CRAZY WORLD). Musically this album fits really no specific categorization but I guess you would call this Psych-Canterbury” school and is really a mix of the work of bands like “EGG”, “CARAVAN” , “GRAVY TRAIN” , “VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR” , “Pink Floyd” and even “COLOSSEUM”.
"Atomic Rooster" contains orchestration , cello, strings as well as a heavy doze of acid laced guitar and Hammond pounding with the sophisticated drumming of Palmer (who would after this album exit for a long standing career with ELP). Clearly one of the personal faves from the ROOSTER and another essential album from a historic progressive perspective.
