GLASS HARP - GLASS HARP - Synergy +5 - SWE Flawed Gems Remastered Expanded - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Beautiful-sounding reissue of the second album (released in 1971) by a great, American guitar formation once recording for MCA/Decca. The 'second' was practically as good as the excellent debut, though slightly gentler! As before, the band presented catchy, slightly Beatles-esque melodies, fairly rich arrangements (though the tracks were somewhat shorter than on the debut) and unforced instrumental virtuosity. In addition four superb tracks (over 25 minutes) recorded at New York's Carnegie Hall and one demo track are added! To tell the truth these superb-sounding live pieces are already a reason to have this record! In 1970-1972 the trio Glass Harp played 'almost British', richly arranged, guitar-driven, heavyish rock - strongly resembling Wishbone Ash of the fourth record period. The excellent guitarist Phil Keaggy has always been regarded as one of the best guitarists in the States! Highly recommended! -
GOLDEN EARRING - GOLDEN EARRING - Seven Tears - NL Red Bullet Remastered Editionprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR

GONG (see also: Soft Machine / Daevid Allen) - GONG - Continental Circus +1 - EU Ethelion Remastered Expanded Limited Press - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 110,00 PLN / 27,50 EUR
A European, remastered edition from the Ethelion label of the third album in the discography (though recorded in May 1971 - at the very start of the sessions for the second LP "Camembert Electrique"), being a recording of the soundtrack to a film about motorcycle racing, released only in France. Gong are of course the legendary, psych-progressive, French-British band led by the eccentric Daevid Allen. In my humble opinion (at the moment) it is this band's best album; perhaps not as refined as the brilliant 'Camembert', but certainly more 'rock' and played almost entirely seriously. The catalogue record is filled almost exclusively with expansive (3 times 9-11 minutes + 4 minutes of sound collage), somewhat cosmic, guitar improvisations based on a hypnotic bass line and heavily driving, though often jazzy, drumming. This is a template of how the transition from late psychedelia to early prog rock should sound! Zero synthesisers and little vocals! As a bonus a 13-minute, unique, live version of the excellent "Blues For Findlay", from the album, has been added. AN ABSOLUTE MUST! Condition: NEW, SEALED. (JL) -
GONG (see also: Soft Machine / Daevid Allen) - GONG - Continental Circus +10 - SWE Flawed Gems Remastered Expanded Edition - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Swedish, remastered edition of the third album in the discography (though recorded in May 1971 - at the very beginning of the sessions for the second LP Camembert Electrique), being a recording of the soundtrack, released only in France, to a film about motorcycle racing. Gong is of course the legendary, psych-progressive, French-British formation led by the eccentric Daevid Allen. In my humble opinion (at the moment) it is the best album by this band; perhaps not as sophisticated as the brilliant 'Camembert', but certainly more 'rock' and played almost entirely seriously. The catalogue record is filled almost exclusively with extended (3 times 9-11 minutes + 4 minutes of sound collage), somewhat cosmic, guitar improvisations based on a hypnotic bass line and strongly driving, though often jazzy, drumming. This is the template for how the transition from late psychedelia to early prog rock should sound! Zero synthesisers and little vocal! Among the ten bonus tracks one can find a great, though completely forgotten, very collectable (and all in all immensely important) single from 1970 and eight tracks recorded live in 1970-1973. AN ABSOLUTE MUST! -
GRACIOUS - GRACIOUS - Gracious! / This Is... Gracious!! (2CD) - UK BGO Edition - LISTENprice: 100,00 PLN / 25,00 EUR
Both albums by this British band belong to the very top rank of British prog-rock, and the debut is one of my favourite little-known records in the genre!!! Extended compositions, charming melodies and (especially on the debut) an intriguing, very psychedelic mood. Absolute classic! Double British edition. A must! -
GRAIL - GRAIL - Grail - SWE Flawed Gems Edition - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
A remastered edition of the sole yet almost perfect album by a British band playing top-notch progressive rock, with strong influences of late psychedelia and not shy of acoustic playing with clear oriental elements. The album was recorded in summer 1970, but released only in January 1971 in Germany (in the black-and-white, abstract sleeve of the Metronome label) and in France (in a comic-style sleeve from Barclay) - never in the United Kingdom. This version contains both covers (the French one appears inside), so you have a choice. The sound quality is better than the Prog Temple edition. Highly recommended! BELOW IS A REVIEW OF THE ALBUM FROM THE SECOND VOLUME OF MY 'BRITISH ROCK' (G-L):..........It is worth knowing that two musicians of this somewhat forgotten band had previously played in the legendary freakbeat band The Game - responsible, among other things, for the sensational single The Addicted Man/Help Me Mummy's Gone (Parlophone, 1967), worth 1000 pounds. Grail was another progressive band (alongside, among others, Diabolus, Little Big Horn and Sunday) whose only album never reached the British market, although it came out in France (in a very striking, colourful sleeve) - released by Barclay, and also in Germany (in an equally nice black-and-white sleeve) – released by Metronome. The January 1971 LP Grail was produced by the (still relatively little-known) Rod Stewart, though judging by the rather raw sound in the sharper passages - I get the impression that instead of in the recording studio, Rod The Mod spent more time in the nearby pub… The album contained fairly advanced and at times very sophisticated progressive music - very typical of 1970, as it combined heavy rock with more than a pinch of psychedelia, folk, ballad and even oriental music. The opening Power, which lasts over 7 minutes and is built on heavy guitar riffs, was characterised by a primal, growling and almost heavy-metal vocal and by dynamic, though very nervous playing from the whole band (as if everyone were in a hurry somewhere) – a bit in the style of the band Jerusalem. Surprisingly, it was one of the few such dynamic numbers, as the following tracks showed the band in a slightly different light: the folky Bleek Wind High was recorded with acoustic guitar, clarinet and flute; the classicising, subtly arranged Day After Day was somewhat reminiscent of a more folky/balladic Procol Harum; the decidedly oriental, swaying Grail used sitar and timpani; the rhythmic Camel Dung, built on a flute part, was strongly saturated with Turkish folklore (at times recalling the work of East Of Eden and especially Quintessence), though it did not lack strong rock transitions; Sunday Morning, meanwhile, is a charming, atmospheric ballad recorded with organ, classical guitar, sitar and cello; by contrast, the track Czechers, dedicated to our southern neighbours (about the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968), was a combination of a dramatic ballad and galloping rock playing; and the closing, driving The Square, though not free of changing moods, was simply an excellent and quite intense summing-up of this intriguing, underrated and of course almost entirely forgotten album. I hardly need to add that the original vinyl editions (in perfect condition) are in great demand – fetching 300-350 euros. It may also be worth knowing that the vocalist Chris Williams later ended up in the German progressive band Abacus. -

GRANNIE - GRANNIE - Grannie - EU Once Again Limited Edition - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
A legend! Released in 1971 in a run of... 99 copies, the only album by an excellent, unfortunately totally forgotten, London band playing guitar-driven, heavy progressive rock with occasional, acoustic-folky moments (with Hammond organ in the last track and occasional flute) in the vein of T2 and Wishbone Ash. Splendid compositions based on catchy riffs, a nice vocal, good drumming and quite professional production. Original vinyls practically do not exist and copies fetch 4000-5000 euros! This is probably the best British 'private press' - in my opinion surpassing in the quality of its playing the album by the group Dark (1972)! This band would certainly have shone on a progressive label (like Vertigo or Harvest), but it broke up when all its equipment was stolen... This is an absolutely essential item at which every true fan of old playing will howl with joy! A MUST! Condition: New, sealed. (JL) -
GRAVY TRAIN - GRAVY TRAIN - (A Ballad Of) A Peaceful Man - EU Repertoire COLOURED VINYL Press - LISTENprice: 150,00 PLN / 37,50 EUR

GRINGO (see also: Caravan) - GRINGO - Gringo +2 - SWE Flawed Gems Remastered Expanded - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Remastered edition, sounding much cleaner and more dynamic than previous ones, of the only, but very good, progressive album by a British group inspired by the work of Rare Bird, Procol Harum, Yes and Caravan, with clear elements of classic, heavyish rock. It is hard to define their music so unambiguously... Sophisticated arrangements, surprising changes of rhythm, a nice, 'Rare Bird-like' keyboard sound, female and male vocals (in the style of early Earth & Fire), and finally very good, catchy compositions, including a genuinely brilliant first track. Highly recommended! -

HAINES, NORMAN -BAND- (see also: Locomotive) - NORMAN HAINES BAND - Den Of Iniquity +2 - EU Ethelion Expanded Limited Press - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 110,00 PLN / 27,50 EUR
A heavy-progressive, British, forgotten rock classic in a great-sounding and beautifully presented edition from the Ethelion label! Originally released in 1971 by EMI Parlophone, this title is a superb, strictly progressive, though not heavy-free album, based on the all-pervading Hammond organ sound of the band's leader - formerly the vocalist and keyboard player of Locomotive. The 13-minute, improvised, galloping "Rabbits" is worth every penny. At the time most shops did not want to stock the album because of its rather blasphemous cover, which is why today the original British vinyl goes twice a year on eBay for 2000 euros! Additionally two tracks from rare singles (listed only on the vinyl label). New, sealed. A MUST! (JL) -

The gatefold, slightly rough-textured sleeve has only minimal scuffs/creases at the tips of the corners: EXCELLENT+ / The record is practically like new: MINT-
