  • 
    Writing On The Wall 1969 dominate heavy Scottish rock band force from late 1960s and early 1970s underground rock scene becoming a popular live act in the United Kingdom.
    
  • 
    
  • The group originally formed in Edinburgh Scotland in 1966 as "the Jury", changing their name to Writing on the Wall in early 1968.
    
    The band's manager, Brian Waldman, moved the group to London and let the band perform at his club, the Middle Earth.
    
    UK Melody Maker music magazine felt sufficiently disturbed to comment that the band had "the reputation of being violent to frightening extremes".
    
    As a result, Writing On The Wall became more theatrical, featuring choreographed fights, dressing up as a Caveman, a High Priest, a Monk and a Witchfinder, and the destruction of a Bubble car in support of the recently introduced breathalyser test. The Middle Earth club launched a label with this maniacal rock band as lead off act, releasing the LP The 'Power of the Picts' in 1969. As the front cover implies, Writing On The Wall have a strong personality, a well-defined style, which borders the darkness, which was in part influenced by Deep Purples manic "In RocK' Lp classic. Linnie Patterson has a hellishly strong rugged voice, which integrates well with the Hard Prog Psychedelic songs. Of fundamental importance is the contribution of Bill Scott, and his amazing Hammond organ gushing all over the place, especially in the dialogues with the distortion guitar power of Willy Finlayson.
    
    The Writing On The Wall is a button machine that moves in unison, a perfect understanding that sends adrenaline in abundance ...Example? Just listen to the extended composition 'Aries'. The damming, aggressive, played with the speed of light sounds of the Hammond (seemingly with 10 pairs of hands!) and Linnie Paterson's amazing characteristic scream piercing vocals ala Purple's Ian Gillan.

  1.   CONDITION:
  2. 
     
  3. The cover: strong "EX" (excellent)
     nice laminated cover still has a fresh appearance -- there are no delete marks, no split seams, no fade on rich colors and no writing ... VERY collection worthy ...
  1. The vinyl: Rated: near "EX" (excellent)
     visually has only very light non-factor hair scuffs as plays with excellent audio fidelity, shouldn't disappoint. 
  2. Both 'Pop Music' Middle Earth labels are clean = look!
