AME SON Catalyse (BYG 529.324) Gong RARE Original French 1st Pressing MINT
RARE French first pressing of the psych-jazz freak-out classic "Catalyse" by Ame Son, released in the Actuel series on BYG Records (1970).
"Ame Son were one of the earliest prog bands to cross-pollinate Free-Jazz with psychedelic music, especially on the full length “Catalyse,” released in 1970. Many tracks begin in an avant free-form jam that eventually develops into more structured song and rhythm, with lyrics either in French or English, and then slips back into another wild free-form freak-out.
Prominent flute, drugged-out vocals, and fuzzed-up electronic guitar lend this a definite late-’60s underground vibe, though because of the originality of the material and the quality of musicianship, it doesn’t sound dated like similar releases from that era.
Most of the members of Ame Son played with Daevid Allen of Gong when he could no longer play with Soft Machine. With Allen they were Bananamoon, but when he left to form Gong they changed the name to Ame Son." (From the Mutant Sounds blog)
MINT(-) COVER. Near-perfect gatefold sleeve. Please see photos for details.
MINT(-) RECORD that looks unplayed. A very difficult find in a condition this nice!
PLEASE NOTE: Over the next few months, we will regularly be offering a number of rarities, mainly progressive and avantgarde records: A very discerning, long-time collector friend left us his treasure chest! Not only are many of these lps extremely rare, they are almost all in MINT(-) condition - both inside and out.
As we approach Christmas, we will be spreading the goodies out, in no special order. Suffice to say that the best is still to come!
