  Released in an attractive, monochrome sleeve by CBS in November 1972, the LP Holy Mackerel contained a combination of American, folk-rock playing with much heavier, progressive atmospheres in the vein of early Wishbone Ash, Wild Turkey or Hokus Poke - as proven by, for instance, the brilliant, nearly 8-minute Spanish Attraction. For that splendid track alone it is worth having this CD, and that's not all... A certain problem of this, all in all very nice and at times downright great, album was its excessive variety, as it is hard to find two recordings similar to each other. It is worth knowing that this progressive, 'almost hard rock' group was formed by three former musicians of the excellent psychedelic band Jason Crest (1966-1969): vocalist Terry Clark, guitarist Derek Smallcombe and drummer Roger Siggery. In 1971 the excellent and underrated Clark appeared on the only album, made exclusively in the States, by the hard rock band Orang-Utan, while Smallcombe played on the heavy rock LP by the band Samuel Prody, also released in 1971, but only in Germany. Additionally included are a rare single B-side and 9 tracks from the second album, titled 'Closer To Heaven', recorded in 1973 but halted at the last moment (and released only in the 90s). Highly recommended! Condition: NEW , sealed.
