Notes 
Some copies are laminated inside gatefold and have a stiffer inner sleeve.

Lobby Loyde: “We recorded Obsecration towards the end of 1975, but we only recorded on full moons over a period of three months”. “See, originally we were gonna call that album Full Moon Fever, but then we thought, ‘oh, it sounds a bit like mountain music, y’know, Kentucky moonshine music’. So then I came up with the title Obsecration, sort of intense.”

After the unpleasant break-up of the Coloured Balls at the end of 1974, Loyde cooled his heels, and by mid-year, with a couple of allies in drummer Jimmy Thompson and sax player Paul Dixon, was ready to hit the studio again. A solo single Do You Believe In Magic / Love Lost On Dream-Tides was released on the Bootleg label. Loyde, suitably revitalised and re-energised, was ready to proceed. For his new band, Southern Electric, the guitarist added two of his old Coloured Balls companions, rhythm guitarist Andrew Fordham and bass player Janis Miglans before rounding out the line-up with keyboardist John Dey and singer Mándu.

GRADING

Grading is as per Goldmine Magazine grading standards, with items being graded conservatively.

SS : Still Sealed - in factory-fresh condition

M : Mint - perfect, possibly unplayed

NM : Near Mint - a near perfect, may have just a few light surface scratches

VG+ : Very Good Plus - has some superficial signs of use that don't affect play. Only well cared for records will grade out to VG+. Will satisfy all but the most demanding collector.

VG : Very Good - a used, reasonable copy. There will be obvious signs of wear and the possibility of light surface noise between tracks or during quiet passages, but still quite nice.

VG- : Very Good Minus - significant wear and marks and usually quite noticeable surface noise.

G+ : Good Plus - In the record world, 'Good' is not good! From here on down (Fair, Poor), we're talking about beat-up records.
