Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise.

Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over +22,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music!

- ........................................
JULIANS TREATMENT the brainchild of JULIAN J SAVARIN, (prog-keyboard dramatics) absorbing all the juiciness, art heaviness, kind craziness and inspirational pleasantness from the late 60s/early 70s period - creating an album filled with stunning complex underworld progressive rock format amid fundamental spice.
This adventuristic project was that of Julian SAVARIN, who moved to Britain from Dominica in the early Sixties. Impressed by the 60's London "now-sounds" music scene, decided to form his own band to start his ideas about a science fiction trilogy. Rehearsing with John Dover (bass), Del Watkins (guitar), Jack Drummond (drums) and Cathy Pruden (vocals). -
- In June of 1970 the obscure UK Youngblood label released "A Time Before This". But due to problems in management, promotion and money JULIANS TREATMENT had to split up.
- Julian returned to writing, concentrating on the second part of his trilogy in mind ("Waiters On The Dance" released a year later in '71.) Again, there was a total lack of promotion and exposure. Nowadays these two albums are very rare and healthy priced as collector items.
The music is build upon expressive and powerful vocals of Cathy Pruden and compelling keyboards of Julian (lots of organ and some Mellotron). Some songs feature fine electric guitar work. - Imagine a psychedelic/gothic EARTH & FIRE yet this very unique music deserves a wider perspective and audience.
"A Time Before This" is an interesting combination of prog and late '60s psychedelia, with spacey organ, and of course, sci-fi oriented lyrics. Julians Treatment as noted above is compared with everything to do regarding the works of EARTH & FIRE and SANDROSE. -
Contents: -
"The Coming of the Mule" is an thematic adventure with dramatic guitar, as well as classically-influenced organ. - "Phantom City" has more of that late '60s psychedelic vibe, complete with phasing (like you hear from the Small Faces' "Itchycoo Park" or the BEATLES' "I Am the Walrus").
- "The Black Tower" is a bit more laid back, featuring Cathy Pruden truly as a lady for this album.
- "Alda, Dark Lady of the Outer Worlds" features Cathy singing with a cool evil edge.
- "Altarra, Princess of the Blue Women" has a cosmic atmosphere woven into "Fourth From the Sun" with somewhat more complex-bends, especially from the drum department.
Anyways, the original double album doesn't exactly grow on trees, remaining very rare, satisfying and expensively valued as a world-class collectible....the bottom line being a truly worthy, wonderful sign of the times in this original pressing format. Still unknown to many; absolutely worth hunting down in our opinion
