ORIGINAL 1971 UK PRESSING
"ELTON DEAN"
UK - (ORANGE) CBS - S64539
Plays Clean
ORIGINAL 1971 first pressing, British only release and has gotten quite scarce & expensive with collector circles.
Elton Dean was one of the early '70's progressive-scene-sters, a skilled musician who played in both Nucleus and The Soft Machine. Titled simply "Elton Dean" his crew on this LP includes SOFT MACHINE members during their peak years, and more...
The ELTON DEAN album is a highly rated and In-demand 1971 UK Soft Machine related progressive avant-garde jazz artifact! Check the deep 'Part : The Last' with totally "dope" fender rhodes work! This is not you're usual jazz/prog music, rather it is played in an underground free form style with expansive/impressive & layered instrumentations; even fans of Miles Davis would probably enjoy it.
Also the album features one of the few recordings that includes the great Australian drummer Phil Howard whose drumming could be compared to the Late Keith Moon (as he also used a double bass drum kit and used cymbals and bass drums against fast snare beats
The LP was recorded LIVE in the studio w/ no overdubs -- what you hear is what was played in ONE take ....Eddie Offord (spelled Eddy on the LP) was the engineer, he would later go on to do albums by famous progressive groups...

Part: The Last
CONDITION: The cover is rated: VG++ bits of visual handling/slight wear around the edges, nothing too bad or near extreme. For the most past looks fine and certainly will rate as a collection rarity... Issues being slim, the seams are okay, the writing, not there, the colors are same as released, no delete marks ...
The vinyl is rated M- clean and clear over both sides, so will play great! Both UK CBS labels are fine with exception of a small date stamp with line through it and the numeral 100 in ink ... there yes, but not so significant in overall degree of this rarity from the UK some 45 years ago
A GREAT ADDITION TO ANYONE'S COLLECTIBLES!
