ORIGINAL VERTIGO RECORDS, UK first pressing from 1973 ... lots of talent unfolds throughout the 4 sides (DOUBLE LP) ... essential listening pleasures for your pleasure::::
Vertigo records came about in 1969, as Phonogram's progressive music label in the UK.
Prior to "Suck it and see", released in 1973, overview LP's from the label tended to be low key affairs. With this album though, they decided to catch up with the competition and pack it with top acts. This collection therefore contains music from 1970 through to 1973.
The album contains a diverse range of artists, a significant number of whom are highly popular with the progressive collector crowd. Such artists included Gentle Giant, Beggar's Opera, and Kraftwerk ("Ruckzuck" from their great first LP). Those unfamiliar with the work of the first Kraftwerk will be somewhat taken aback by the acid-avant-garde nature of what they hear.
Aphrodite's Child's "666" album contributes "The Four Horsemen" featuring the peaking track of the album. Given that there are 17 tracks, some are afforded a generous amount of space, the longest track being "Living at the end of time" by Atlantis, which clocks in at over 9 minutes.
The most interesting track, and perhaps the main reason to seek out this album, is the 8½minute "Mwenga sketch" by Jade Warrior. The band had an eventful history with Vertigo, who signed them as part of a deal to sign Assagai. The deal was also help along by the fact that Patrick Campbell-Lyons (Nirvana - UK) who occupied a senior position in Vertigo used to be in Jade Warrior. All this led to a great deal of apathy at Vertigo when it came to looking after the band, and the Forthcoming album by now titled "Eclipse" was not released at the time. The track included on "Suck it and see" is therefore something of a rarity. "Eclipse" finally saw the light of day in 1998 on cd no less.
The second of the two LPs focuses on the labels diverse range of pop and rock orientated artists, including Status Quo, Rod Stewart, Jim Croce, Alex Harvey and Spencer Davis Group. There is however space for several further items of interest.
"Bump and grind" is the title track from the final Jackson Heights album, the band founded by Lee Jackson after the break up of the Nice. "Bump and grind" was an ambitious concept album, which featured Mellotron, and came packaged in a lavish sleeve.
Magna Carta's "Time for the leaving" is described as being taken from "Magna Carta in Concert" but is in fact the version from their "Songs from Wasties Orchard" album. Manfred Mann's Earth Band's "Buddah" from the "Messin'" album closes the album in fine prog style featuring some superb guitar and keyboards interplay.
"Suck it and see" was yet another in the long line of excellent value samplers released by the major record labels in the early 1970's. The wealth on talent on show here alone gives an indication of how thoroughly spoilt we were back then.
