1975 UK ISLAND (HELP 19) FIRST PRESSING OF QUIET SUN'S "Mainstream"
PHIL MANZANERA'S BAND BEFORE HE JOINED ROXY MUSIC - REFORMED FOR THIS 1975 RELEASE
TOP COPY - LOOKS LIKE IT'S NEVER BEEN PLAYED
Quiet Sun originally formed around Dulwich College in 1970 as a four-piece progressive rock band featuring Phil Manzanera (guitar), Bill MacCormick (bass), Charles Hayward (drums), and Dave Jarrett (keyboards).
The group managed to score a rehearsal space from Warner Bros. and toured around the south of England gaining a small following, but were never signed.
In 1971, Manzanera left to join Roxy Music, MacCormick joined Matching Mole, Jarrett went into teaching, and Hayward joined Gong.
Phil Manzanera's pre-Roxy Music group never got to release their first attempt at an album, but in a break from Roxy in 1974, Manzanera regrouped the band and put out this effort, recorded at the same time as his solo extravaganza, Diamond Head.
Here, Manzanera disappears into the art rock group dynamic and the album is a selection of progressive jams which feature some tasty guitar work, complex rhythmic structures, and the always reliable bass work of Bill MacCormick
