HIGH TIDE High Tide (Psycho 27) Hawkwind RARE UK 2nd Pressing 1984 MINT-
RARE UK pressing of High Tide`s second, eponymously-titled album "High Tide" on Psycho Records (July 1970). Originally released on Liberty Records, this is the 1984 re-release on the Psycho label. These issues have in the meantime become collectable items in their own right.
"In 1969, Sea Shanties established High Tide as one of Britain's heaviest bands (...). In comparison with their hefty debut, however, the self-titled follow-up is a relatively subdued affair. The interplay of guitarist Tony Hill and violinist Simon House is still very much at the core of High Tide's distinctive hybrid of psychedelia, prog, and hard rock, but while Hill lays down his characteristically intricate, searing guitar lines, he forgoes the sort of weighty, molten riffage that made Sea Shanties such a behemoth." - Wilson Neate for allmusic.com
