on the FONTANA RECORDS cat# 6309009 vintage 1970 ORIGINAL
FIRST ISSUE COPY!!!
RARE ORIGINAL UK Progressive Psych Rock GEM.
One of the most sought-after, rare, and - most importantly, BEST albums of the era!
Not a bad track throughout, exquisitely written and recorded, a SUPERB LP that introduced an excellent band - but sold POORLY. This has classic English sensibility to the lyrics and arrangements, OUTSTANDING Progressive music that was heavy yet sophisticated and accessible. Forget the drudgery of The Open Mind's LP, which didn't match the incredibly good 45 track that wasn't on it - and really don't bother with Rainbow Ffolly or July or Dr. Z's 'Three Parts To My Soul' - rare they may be, but in my opinion also over-rated. Here's the real deal - and long renowned as the apex of early Prog. STORMING guitar celebrates freedom over EXHILARATING organ and orgasmic melotron!! Outrageously good music!!
Indispensable music - that I can only highly recommend.
(take a listen on youtube too)
CZAR's recorded only this one album, and it's a brilliant debut, but sadly not to be followed up. It stands as proof of the undiscovered GEMS that lay around shelves for decades until intrepid eBay seekers turned them up. For me - the best LP of its' time, without doubt!
The vinyl is VG++, decent shine but a few fine marks (not into the groove) and light scuff visible, perhaps from cleaning.
Sounds great, slight crackle between tracks, no obtrusive noises and no skips.
A very respectable player copy - looked after well.
The Lables grade VG++ condition, clean with sparse sign of any plays.
Super fully-laminated art sleeve cover is solid and bright - light handling wear and very little seam wear. I grade this VG+.
A nice FIRST PRESSING AND RELEASE copy of this great album!
Don't miss this rare ORIGINAL copy of a VERY scarce LP!
