FIRST AID - Nostradamus - SWE Flawed Gems Edition - LISTEN - VERY RARE

On CD for the first time! It is hard to understand why this rare album, which after all was released by British Decca Records, was never released in digital form! In any case, released at the height of the punk revolt and perfectly produced, the Brits' only record is very nice, progressive rock (sometimes aided by a symphony orchestra) in the style of Camel, Yes, Genesis/Steve Hackett and ELP. Three longer tracks deserve special mention - two lasting 7 minutes each and one of 13 minutes. Alongside the CD England "Garden Shed", it is certainly one of the most successful forgotten titles of the second half of the 70s. The drummer had earlier played in the jazz-rock formation Igginbottom (of Allan Holdsworth). Highly recommended!
