RARE 1970 DERAM RECORDS  BRITISH "PROG PSYCH" VINYL CLASSIC

           The Polite Force

                              USA - DERAM RECORDS - DES 18056

Original 1970 first pressing vinyl...very rare and sought in first printing ...basically a wild adventurous and highly creative British keyboard trio who made three albums with unique styles abounding ...This, their second that compares more to their 1969 debut ("Egg") ... here in delightfully collection ready clean M- condition (see details below song titles)       

 "The Polite Force" was EGG’s second album and represents one of the pinnacle and most influential Canterbury prog albums. "The Polite Force" is stylistically similar to the early work of circa 1969 - 70 era SOFT MACHINE featuring Dave Stewart's surging keyboard work with a solid supporting duo of Hugo Martin Montgomery Campbell (bass, vocals, organ, piano and French horn) and Clive Brooks (drums). Songs vary in compositional aspect and range from very complex to pure experimental maintaining a high degree of originality and professionalism. EGG score with their mixture of ARZACHEL / SOFT MACHINE influenced instrumental extensions, highly developed Stravinsky influenced compositions, impeccable performances and their careful attention to timbre and organ dynamics of Dave Stewart. The Polite Force dispenses with the rearrangement of classical themes that was a focus of the band's debut album, and instead is comprised of four original pieces. The music doesn't sound drastically different from Egg's first album, but there is less of an emphasis on vocals and the compositions are even more complex and dissonant. As stated above, the music sometimes bears a resemblance to what Soft Machine was doing in late 1969 and early 1970, if you were to eliminate Soft Machine's jazzier elements and add an ELP influence with psychy jamming passages....
