Hard to find...Original 1971 first pressing BRITISH issue by a 'heated ~ involved and tight' progressive unit featuring a well developed professional sound...bassist John Wetton (ex-King Crimson) in the ranks should tell you a lot about the skills within....
When guitarist James Litherland got sacked from the mighty COLOSSEUM, although he was one of the main elements that made them so popular as he was the singer, he quickly formed MOGUL THRASH along with John Wetton (KING CRIMSON) and Roger Ball (BEDLAM) and made an excellent album very much in the style of the first two COLOSSEUM albums but much more all out rocking. The album was produced by Brian Auger (of OBLIVION EXPRESS) who also contributes keys on one track.
And the 'fan man' advises further: 
Attention PROGRESSIVE ROCK fans, this Lp is for you!!! After James Litherland was ejected from Colosseum, clearly he had a lot more progressive music to offer, if even a bit more hard-rocking ... From the first notes of Something Sad (leading to superb bass works from Wetton) to the end of What's This I hear , we deal with a speeded-up Colosseum styled prog-rock with loads of energy. The 12 min Going North track is the center piece of the album with searing guitar leads divinely underlined by heated spice backing arrangements, over a superb Whetton bass hook.
Overall musically these guys were a pure mix of fusion prog and Canterbury progressive  mixes and feature some pretty cool tunes. Hard to exactly compare their sound but think of "Colosseum" meets "King Crimson" was probably their basic direction...not bad guidelines to work at that!
