This is a very rare and highly collectable LP from 1972 ... first UK pressing on the spiral Vertigo Record label (6360 074) ... The record itself has no surface marks and is in excellent/mint condition ... The gatefold cover has some wear around the edges, however the spine is clearly legible and intact. There is a minor (3mm) tear to the left hand side of the insects head, which is barely visible, the rest of the front cover is very good ... The inner gatefold is slightly marked along the bottom, although this appears to be a printing flaw rather than damage, ... Overall the LP is in superb condition and an asset to any record collection ...
biography
CATAPILLA were an English band from the early 70's who released two interesting albums of experimental jazz rock, without symphonic traces as in other bands of the moment such as AFFINITY, CRESSIDA, or SPRING. The band had a line-up of six to seven people performing on saxophones, keyboards, bass, guitar, vocals, bass, and drums.
In "Catapilla" perhaps the production is not so strong as it was necessary. The album consists of four tracks with extended, instrumental passages where guitar, saxophone, and keyboards get lots of solo space. Far superior to their first album, "Changes" is a very atmospheric piece of music. Their sound is more ethereal and spacey, but still a terrific blend of jazz rock/brass rock with an occasional psychedelic edge. This is another essential album you must hunt down and add to your collection.
