AYNSLEY DUNBAR - Blue Whale - EU Ethelion Limited Press - LISTEN - VERY RARE

A remastered and excellent-sounding vinyl edition of the supposedly solo album, recorded in 1970 and released in the UK by Warner Bros (or Metronome in Germany), by the former drummer of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers (1966-1967), The Jeff Beck Group (1967) and of course the leader of his own band Retaliation (1967-1969). Recorded in a great line-up (including the guitarist Ivan Zagni - known from the debut of the band Jody Grind - and Paul Williams - the future vocalist of Juicy Lucy and Tempest), "Blue Whale" is superb, juicy progressive rock in the vein of Colosseum and Zappa from the LP "Hot Rats" - that is, based on numerous, improvised instrumental parts. The album may not have an attractive cover (quite the contrary), but the music is excellent! New, sealed. A MUST! (JL)
