Description

Part of a major 50’s/60s/70s record collection that I have on eBay at the moment, including many rarities. Released in the UK in 1969 on the Morgan Blue Town label, cat. # BT 5002. This is the original U.K. pressing NOT a re-issue or repress.

This band was originally known as Fortes Mentum. Their album is one of the very best of the British progressive rock ultra-rarities. A five-piece band, whose complete personnel remain unknown. The album's a real gem. It kicks off with Come Back June, a keyboard-driven rock number, which is followed by one of their finest, All Of My Life. With its unusual, melodramatic vocals and fine keyboard arrangements it's well worth getting to hear. In contrast, one of the album's other nuggets, We Built The Sun, is characterised by some lovely melodic guitar work and eerie harmonies. The other highlight is The Open Ground, which is again unusual and quite trippy with partly spoken lyrics. Comets is a maze of cosmic theramin-filled sound effects and there are also some instrumental cuts (Tragedy In F. Minor (which features a nice mellotron intro.) and G.E.A.B.) which aren't so good. If progressive rock's your scene, this is definitely an album to check out.

GUARANTEED CONDITION: Firstly please bear in mind that I am very reluctant to grade any record of this age as Mint unless it is a truly exceptional example. The textured sleeve has no rips, tears, heavy creases, splits or writing. Just a little wear near the corners, genuine EX condition. The LP is a beauty. Just a solitary 'spider mark' near the centre hole would indicate that this has possibly only ever been played once! Overall a fantastic copy of one of the U.K.'s rarest Psych/Prog albums. Grab this now or wait 10 years for the next one to come along in this condition.

SHIPPING: Buyer pays actual.

PAYMENT: PayPal, euro/US$ cash, International Money Order converted to UK£ Sterling, Western Union transfer or cheques drawn on a UK bank please.
