VARIOUS ARTISTS - UK PROGRESSIVE - SATISFACTION / TAPESTRY - British Progressive Rock BBC Live In Concert 1971 - UK Maida Vale / Verne Press - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 110,00 PLN / 27,50 EUR
A genuinely sensational album from the Maida Vale label, limited to 500 copies, combining two 25-minute performances (in excellent sound quality) by British progressive bands, recorded by the BBC in 1971 and originally released on ultra-rare promotional vinyl by the BBC Transcription Service. The more popular band was Satisfaction, known from an album for the Deram label, a great jazz-prog-rock outfit (with a former guitarist of The Artwoods and a juicy brass section), who on the first side presented four very energetic and passionately played tracks from their only and perhaps slightly underrated album. The completely unknown Tapestry, on the other hand, occupying the second side (also four recordings), came across as downright sensational - an excellent British progressive band resembling folk-progressive Trees and delicate, very early Genesis - with female and male vocals. For unknown reasons the band never signed a record contract, but in August 1971 it played a concert at the BBC's radio headquarters in London, a 25-minute fragment of which was recorded and released in 1971... in 100 copies! I stress: this is fantastic, sophisticated, breathy, melodic progressive playing that should delight every fan of the genre! AN ABSOLUTE MUST! P.S. I also recommend the unique live record, made up of two performances (from 1973), by the groups Wild Turkey and Wolf - also released by Maida Vale! -
VARIOUS ARTISTS - UK PROGRESSIVE - WILD TURKEY / WOLF - British Progressive Rock BBC Live In Concert 1973 - UK Maida Vale / Verne Press - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 110,00 PLN / 27,50 EUR
A genuinely sensational album from the Maida Vale label, limited to 500 copies, combining two performances of nearly 30 minutes each (in excellent sound quality) by British progressive bands, recorded by the BBC in 1973 and originally released on ultra-rare promotional vinyl by the BBC Transcription Service. Wild Turkey, led by the former Jethro Tull bassist Glenn Cornick, presented probably their best material (three unknown tracks + one originally from the second LP), which unfortunately did not make it onto the unreleased third record. Please listen to these recordings on YouTube! Three of the tracks once appeared as bonuses on the CD "Turkey", but here there is one more track. Wolf, on the other hand, led by the former Curved Air leader - the violinist Darryl Way - play veeery energetic, prog-rock music in the style of early, highly wound-up and slightly more jazzy Kansas. John Etheridge (later in Soft Machine) played guitar, and Ian Mosley (later in Trace, and from 1983 in Marillion) played drums. This is a piece of wonderful top-shelf progressive playing, and please do not be put off by the fact that it is supposedly a compilation, but simply give yourself great pleasure! A must! P.S. I also recommend the unique record by the groups Satisfaction and Tapestry, made up of two performances (from 1971) - also released by Maida Vale!
