Description
Third Eye Rare sth African LP Awakening VG+ '69 Polydor 277002 Psyche Prog Rock
Rare Original 1st Press South African LP released in 1969 on Polydor Records. Cat: 277002. Comes in a gatefold sleeve.
South African progressive rock group formed in Durban in 1968. Founded by young brother and sister team of Ron and Dawn Selby who previously played alongside bassist Mike Sauer in a Durban band named It's a Secret. The arrival of Maurice Saul, a guitarist who had lived in what was then Rhodesia (later Zimbabwe) before moving to South Africa, and Robbie Pavid, a drummer who doubled as the percussionist for Abstract Truth, another Durban-based progressive outfit, saw the band morph into Third Eye. Their music is a blend of progressive and psychedelia which can refer to the music of a band like The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown (on the 3rd and final album they covered "Fire"). One of the top acts of South African rock ever.
Tracks : All along the watchtower/ Lost boy/ Valley of sadness/ Apricot brandy/ Magic handkerchief/ Love is a beautiful thing/ My head spins round/ Snow child/ Morning dew/ Society's child.
There are a few very light spindle marks on labels. Record has some light scuff marks and a few very light scratches that cause some crackles in parts, there are a few soft clicks at start of side one, I cannot detect any scratch or mark in this spot, once the band kicks in it seems to disappear, Record is in VG+ condition. Gloss gatefold sleeve has very light ring wear, some light marks and some tearing in cella glaze along back edge of spine and is in VG+ condition.
