HARD MEAT - Space Between - Recordings 1969-1970 (3CD) - UK Esoteric Remastered Edition - LISTEN

A three-disc set containing all the recordings made by the British band, playing progressive rock with elements of folk and blues, which may bring to mind Culpeper's Orchard, Jethro Tull, CSN&Y, as well as late Beatles or The Strawbs. The first two CDs contain the albums from 1970, "Hard Meat" and "Through A Window", both released by Warner Bros. The third disc is taken up by a record made in 1969 for Island Records, but then rejected and never released. Only two tracks released on a single saw the light of day, including a cover of The Beatles' "Rain". The remaining seven appear on "Space Between" for the first time! Unfortunately, in the absence of interest, the band split in 1971. The set comes in a rigid box, with a 20-page booklet inside. A must! (MU)
