Druid

'Fluid'

EMI, UK, 1976

EMC 3128

SIGNED AT a time when just about anyone with long hair, beards, wielding a melotron or Hammond organ and a twenty piece drum kit could get a record deal Druid, sadly, got lost in the prog rock stampede. That my friends was a pitty as this was one band that had an interesting and innovative sound fusing symphonic rock with full-on prog. Imagine Yes or Genesis jamming with Spring and you'll get the picture. Great song titles such as 'Razor Truth', 'Painters Clouds', 'Nothing But Morning' and 'The Fisherman's Friend'.

In keeping with the period their songs are often long and stuffed full of varied instrumental dexterity showcasing a good ear for melody and economic arrangements.

Pressing: EMI, UK, 1976 - Small promo sticker on label

Vinyl: Nice clean condition. Displays a few spindle marks, some ultra light hairline scuffs mainly caused from sliding in and out of the cardboard inner sleeve. Grades as nice Ex

Cover: Barely any signs of use. Issued in a beautifully designed white cover - retains full printers bloom. As you know, its virtually impossible to find a decent condition cover of this one due to it being predominantly white and thin paper stock. Sharp corners, no dings, no bends, no ring wear, no split seams and no creases. Spine is stiff, square and uncrushed. Displays a hint of storage and handling wear. Impossible to find like this after 39 years. Grades as a nice Ex
