Rare ... ORIGINAL 1970 SWIRL VERTIGO
NUCLEUS
"Elastic Rock"
UK - SWIRL VERTIGO - 6360 008
..... PLAYS VERY CLEAN .....
ORIGINAL 1970 first pressing on the highly IN DEMAND "swirl Vertigo" label housed in an attractive die-cut gatefold cover ...
All important & scarce swirl Vertigo plastic lined inner sleeve is included!
Essential debut and a defining moment of jazz-rock - this was recorded only a few months later than Miles Davis's Bitches Brew and obviously Ian Carr was very impressed (and a unconditional fan of Miles as he wrote two books about his life on top of other jazz encyclopedia) and he formed this band with amongst other Jenkins, Marshal and the chameleon of rock Chris Spedding after he left psych-blues group Pete Brown's Battered Ornaments. The sublime sleeve artwork, a cut-out gatefold that lets you peep into a red-hot lava stream opens up on a breathtaking landscape in a volcano park.
After listening to side 1, most rock fans will wonder where the rock part went, as only the second part of Crude Blues was energetic enough to be named rock. But right from the opening track with the bowed double bass rumbling as if the earthquake was happening, to the very calm climates of Striaton and Taranaki, we are dealing with serene atmospheric fusion melodies. Only the title track is really more upbeat as well as the second part of Crude Blues.
Side 2 is definitely where things pick up, especially with Boogaloo and the self-explanatory Torrid Zone ( was obviously bound to be a concert favourite) and then comes hi-energy tracks to follow, big enough to light a city. We can hear how Jenkins is paving hell with his delicate Fender Rhodes piano layers and Marshall being an extremely intuitive drummer. But the star here especially on the second side of the album is Chris Spedding (that's right the famously great splatter guitarist of Pete Brown's Battered Ornaments) with a much understated but still flamboyant style. Smith, Carr and Jenkins also adding some aerial winds layers, making this debut album a classic.
